Chelsea Blackwell and Jimmy Presnell found love in the Love Is Blind season 6 pods, but unfortunately, they didn't make it down the aisle. They got engaged without seeing each other, building a strong connection through conversations. However, their relationship took a turn when Jimmy decided to call off the wedding just days before the big day.
Chelsea shared with We before the March 2024 finale that she was completely caught off guard. Despite facing challenges in their relationship, they had experienced some wonderful moments together. Just a week before, they were both ecstatic and in a great place. They were even discussing their wedding songs for the reception.
Jimmy, on the other hand, revealed to Chelsea that he had a change of heart about getting married. He mentioned feeling betrayed after she brought up his past hookup with a friend on camera.
"We were putting in a lot of effort to make it work, and I had deep feelings for her," Jimmy shared with Us in February 2024. "Every day, we are discovering new things about each other. In the days leading up to it, it was a struggle to give her an extra day, but unfortunately, it didn't happen."
Keep reading to hear about Chelsea and Jimmy's journey through a pod engagement, a heartbreaking breakup, and a possible reconciliation.
A Pod Love Triangle
Jimmy and Chelsea hit it off right away in the Love Is Blind pods during the Netflix experiment in Charlotte, North Carolina. (The show was filmed in 2023 and premiered in early 2024.) Despite this, Jimmy also had a deep connection with Jessica Vestal. However, he was unsure about taking on the role of an instant stepfather to her 10-year-old daughter, Autumn.
Jimmy shared with Us that he realized Chelsea was The One during their last date, which lasted three hours longer than his final chat with Jessica.
Reflecting on his relationship with Jessica, Jimmy remembered how she walked out on him after a disagreement. He realized that their conflict resolution styles did not align, and he made the decision to prioritize respect in his relationships.

Chelsea Accepts Jimmy's Proposal
Jimmy, now free of any distractions from Jessica, decided to focus completely on his relationship with Chelsea. He gathered up the courage and proposed to her. Chelsea's face lit up with joy as she happily accepted his proposal. She knew she had to inform Trevor Sova, her other connection, that she was now officially off the market.
Trevor's Surprise Proposal Experience
Trevor shared his experience with Us in February 2024, expressing his initial confidence before being taken by surprise during the proposal. He recalled how the timing of the dates with Chelsea and Jimmy influenced the outcome, leading to unexpected events.
Chelsea was thrilled to finally meet Jimmy face to face, discuss their wedding plans, and embark on the cast's post-pod vacation to the Dominican Republic. However, things took a turn when they returned home to Charlotte. Chelsea started feeling insecure and jealous of Jimmy's female friends, especially one he had a history with (which he confessed to her privately, off camera).

A Love Square at the Lake (Part 2)
The drama continued at the cast's lake party when Jessica and Trevor made their return. Chelsea noticed that Trevor was more her type than Jimmy and they shared some flirty moments. However, they ended things on a platonic note as Chelsea's love for Jimmy was stronger.
Meanwhile, Jimmy ran into Jess and made it clear that she is still his top choice physically. However, out of respect for Chelsea, he stated that he wouldn't date Jess.
The End of the Road
In the season 6 finale, Jimmy broke up with Chelsea after she brought up his past hookup on camera.
He told Us that she broke his trust in a significant manner, causing him a lot of pain. It consumed his thoughts because he values his friends' privacy and did not want their personal information to be shared. Despite the hurt, he admitted that he still cared for her deeply.
Chelsea has expressed regret over the way she spoke, but stands by the subject matter of her remarks.
"We were in a relationship, and in my everyday life, the cameras didn't matter to me at all," she shared with Us. "I was just trying to figure out if I should make this big decision, whether to say yes or no, and this issue was a major concern for me. We had this problem in our relationship, but you didn't want me to talk about it on camera because you were worried about how you would be perceived by others."
