Ten individuals formed connections and got engaged on Love Is Blind season 3, but most relationships didn't last. The show aims to show that people can bond deeply without seeing each other, but the success of marriages is uncertain. Season 3 had five new engagements and two lasting pairs, despite criticism that the four-week experiment doesn't work.
Similar to the first two seasons, only two couples from Love Is Blind season 3 got married, while the rest broke up. The casts revisited their engagements with hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey. As season 6 wraps up, it's time to see which relationships have endured the spotlight over the past couple of years.

They enjoy attending sporting events, cooking together, hanging out with loved ones, and traveling, sharing their adventures on social media.
Alexa and Brennon shared the exciting news in January through a People exclusive that they are pregnant with their first child together.

Zanab Jaffrey and Cole Barnett's relationship took a nosedive after they met on Love Is Blind season 3. Although they connected in the pods, their physical chemistry was lacking. Cole's comment about approaching another woman at a bar made Zanab feel disrespected.
At the altar, Zanab firmly rejected Cole and criticized his behavior in a harsh speech. Cole apologized during the reunion, but they did not reconcile romantically. Zanab expressed that meeting Loren Langenbeck was the highlight of her Love is Blind journey, indicating a strained relationship with Cole. "Loren, you are my favorite memory from the pods. I'd go through it all over again just to meet you," Zanab shared on Instagram.

Nancy Rodriguez and Bartise Bowden's relationship faced challenges from the start, so it wasn't surprising that they didn't tie the knot on Love Is Blind season 3. Despite Bartise's attempt to make amends after rejecting Nancy at the altar, they ultimately went their separate ways. Although Nancy's family was upset, their conversation afterwards didn't resolve the situation.
It's evident that Bartise and Nancy have both moved on. Nancy is now focused on her family, friends, and interests post Love Is Blind. While she is currently in a relationship, she has chosen not to reveal her partner's identity on social media. On the other hand, Bartise made an appearance on Netflix's Perfect Match season 1 last year, where he found love with Izzy Fairthorne on the show, although their relationship didn't last beyond filming. In a surprising turn of events, Bartise became a father in 2023 with a 25-year-old bartender named Olivia from Dallas, whom he had been in a relationship with.

Although SK Alagbada and Raven Ross from Love Is Blind didn't get married on season 3, they didn't completely end their relationship. Even after the show, they continued to be together. While they had a strong emotional bond from the pods, their physical connection wasn't as strong. Despite their efforts, cultural differences and other issues caused SK to say "no" on their wedding day. They tried to make it work after the show, but their differences were too big to overcome. There were also rumors that SK was unfaithful to Raven, although he denied them.
Raven has been keeping busy with her fitness career and recently made a move to New York City. She is now in a new relationship, although she hasn't shared much about him on her Instagram. On the other hand, SK successfully completed his MBA at Berkeley in May 2023.
