The Netflix dating show with a twist is back after the third series of Love Is Blind hit the streaming platform on Wednesday (October 19).
The series follows 15 men and 15 women hoping to find love. But the catch is that they cannot see each other before deciding to get down on one knee.
For 10 days, the men and women date each other in purpose-built "pods" where they can talk to each other through a speaker but not see each what the other looks like.
Couples can only meet face-to-face once a marriage proposal is accepted, with the engaged couples heading to a resort to get to know each other better and test whether there is any physical attraction.
The first series produced some matches that have lasted the four years since it first aired.
The second series was not quite so successful when it came to matching couples for the long haul, however.
Here is a look at who is still together from the season two match-ups.
Who is still together from Love Is Blind Season 2?
No one from the second series of the Netflix show is still together.
The brightest hope seemed to be Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson.
But, despite tying the knot in June 2021 and openly talking about having children as recently as July, it has been confirmed that Danielle has filed for divorce.
The split occurred after the reunion show, After the Altar, had been filmed.
Since the break-up, Danielle has opened up about her divorce from Nick to her Instagram followers, claiming that it was a "mutual decision" due to "personality compatibility differences".
During an Instagram story this month she said: "When we decided to separate, it was a mutual decision, like, we talked about it [and it] wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment thing, even though it seems like that.
"We tried really hard, and again, we were just like, ‘You know what? I think it is in our best interest."
The split means means both marriages that came about in series two have ended in failure.
Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones announced their intention to divorce, with Iyanna posting a message on Instagram.
“After much thought, we’re saddened to share that we have separated and will begin the process of divorcing," she wrote.
“While we have love for each other, our lives are going in different directions, and that’s okay.”
She said coming to the decision was “far from easy” but that they wished “each other the absolute best”.
“This experience has taught us so much about ourselves, vulnerability and love. We don’t regret a single thing!” she told her 901,000 followers.
What happened to the other couples?
Series two of Love Is Blind saw six couples hook up, with two marrying.
Three of those couples that did not get married did make it to their wedding days, but split before saying their vows.
Natalie Lee and Shayne Jansen were one of the couples to U-turn on marrying, with Natalie saying no at the altar.
They did date again after the show was done filming but broke-up amicably.
After filming the reunion show, Natalie and Shayne both took to Instagram to clarify that they’re on positive terms.
“Even if I did this experiment a thousand times knowing the outcome, I would have always chosen you,” Natalie wrote.
In his own post, Shayne described feeling “remorseful” as he watched their story back, and shared that he would “never stop loving” Natalie.

When is Love Is Blind series 3 airing on Netflix and who is in the cast?
Mallory Zapata and Salvador Perez did not go the full hog after “Sal” declined to go through with it.
After saying “I don’t,” these exes discussed the possibility of giving their relationship another shot off-camera, but they are not together today.
“I’m doing really well, just kind of focusing on myself,” Mallory said.
“At the end of the day, I came on this because I want to get married.
"I want a marriage, and I think just realising that, you know what, I haven’t really taken the time to heal parts of myself.
“And so that’s something that I’m focused on right now.”
Deepti Vempati and Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee also saw their relationship crumble at the final hurdle.
"Deeps" has confirmed she is single and in a “really good, happy place”, adding: “I am doing amazing in life.”
Shake, meanwhile, is focused on his career.
