Rob Feeleyis shedding light on what set him off on Love Is Blind.
The season 11 star finally explained why he had a meltdown at a group mixer after speaking with castmate and ex Diana Perrone, shouting that he was going to be “cancelled” following their conversation, which was largely unaired.
According to Rob, he didn’t think it was necessary for him to sit down with her in the first place, since he was attending the St. Patrick’s Day party with fiancée Michaella Giorgio.
“When I go in with Michaela, I don’t need to see another girl,” Rob told E! News in an exclusive interview. “I don’t need to see these people. I don’t need to have a conversation with Diana. We ended in the pods respectfully. I think she might have even got engaged herself at some point after.”
“It’s Michaella I care about,” the 40-year-old continued. “I just thought it was inappropriate to put me at a table and try to speak to [Diana]. We had closure.”

Love Is Blind Relationships That Happened Off-Camera
After their conversation, Rob appeared to become paranoid about their sit-down, shouting in the scene that Netflix was “gonna manipulate this whole thing into something crazy. I don’t give a f–k.”
“I don’t need to be put in the situation where I have to speak to somebody who I dated in a pod, because I chose Michaella,” he told E!. “It wasn’t anything where I had something specific to say to Diana.”
He added, “It was more respecting Michaella than it was anything else.”
Ultimately, the AI software salesman said the pressure of being on a reality TV show got “so immense” for him, resulting in his breakdowns both at the group mixer and at a bar with friends.
“It’s just a lot of pressure, and I didn’t know how to deal with the pressure,” he explained. “I probably wasn’t in the right mindset going in with some other things I experienced. Not a crutch by any means, but I tried to look past that. And when it came down to it, I just felt like maybe this isn’t for me.”
As he put it, “I didn’t handle it the best, and I just felt like all the pressure just got to me, the filming, and I just cracked.”
After Rob and Michaella broke up and filming wrapped, Rob said he spent 50 days focusing on himself—”no drinks, just work”—and 75 days of “eating right, no cheat meals,” as well as getting therapy and doing cold plunges.
“I acted not in character,” he added of his time on Love Is Blind. “That’s not really who I am. Those couple scenes weren’t who I am. I don’t want to blame production. I don’t want to blame anybody but myself.”

“I don’t want to hold you back,” Blake told Erika during the season 11 finale. “I don’t want you to be that captain’s wife on the widow walk. I don’t want to marry you and then for you to feel held hostage while I’m sailing around, gone for weeks on end. And then you’ve got a timeline with kids and everything.”
And Erika couldn’t help but agree.
“I just think at this point, there’s too many concerns, too many questions that I can’t say yes at the altar,” she shared. “I just think the best thing to do is to leave the experiment.”
And while Erika cried over their decision, Blake had already concluded their ship had sailed.
“The experiment is done, but it’s the right move,” Blake confirmed. And when a producer asked if he ever had a love like this, he replied: “I’m not gonna answer that one…I’m feeling a little relieved, a little exhausted.”
In fact, they couldn’t see eye-to-eye on life’s more mundane tasks, including dividing up cooking duties and household chores.
“When we got out of the pods, you got everything I promised you, plus,” Wilson told Wilnie following an off-camera disagreement, later adding, “You said it countless times, ‘I’ll do the things for you that make you happy.’ And I’ve mentioned what those things might be, but then you’ll be like, ‘But I don’t like doing that…I’m not used to doing that.’”
As for Wilnie, she couldn’t disagree more. “I don’t work in the home,” the mental health counselor explained. “I have long, emotionally draining days and whether you agree with that, when I get home, it is hard for me to always be at your level.”
Ultimately, for Wilson, there were too many issues at hand for them to tie the knot. “It’s not that you’re a bad person,” the senior compliance manager shared, “you’re a phenomenal person but maybe marriage is not for us.”
By the end, though a tearful Wilnie confirmed she still loved Wilson, she doesn’t regret their path.
However, once asked whether she was ready to say “I do,” the principal engineer shared that she couldn’t, telling her fiancé: “I still believe you’re my person, but I do not today. I need more time.”
As for Cam, he assured her that he completely understood. “It’s okay,” the human resource coordinator replied. “it’s a big decision. I feel like we both need to be one hundred percent confident.”
But once Aneha declared she didn’t and danced away from the altar while stressing to Cam that he was still her fiancé, he teared up watching her leave. As he later explained to his family, he simply didn’t “know what happens now.”
Shortly after, Aneha and Cam did end up meeting up one final time. And while Cam expressed that he still loved and cared for her, he needed time to process the “I don’t” of it all.
The result of that processing was revealed at the reunion on Nov. 8, 2026, when the pair confirmed they had parted ways for good shortly after saying no at the altar.
“It’s fun looking back on the first few days ‘cause I don’t think we liked each other very much,” she shared. “And then, some people here heard the story about you maybe not being too jazzed to keep talking to me. But I love that that happened, because I think that was a catalyst for us.”
She noted, “After that, I’ve never been so sure on someone, and I had never even seen you. And then when I saw you, I felt like I’d already known you a lifetime.”
Just before the season’s reunion aired, however, court documents showed Sarah filed for divorce just over a year after they tied the knot. And at the reunion, John revealed he had exchanged inappropriate texts with a stripper and escort he’d met during a boys’ night out.
For Sarah, it marked the final push she needed to leave their marriage after a year, during which time she said John could be hurtful in the way he communicated to her.
After a hangout with his fellow friends went left once a bartender cut one of them off, Rob then came to the cast meet-up with another bone to pick.
“I’m going down in this thing as the biggest piece of s–t,” he yelled at the bar. “Right where Netflix wants me, buddy. Dude, they’re gonna manipulate this whole thing into something crazy. I don’t give a f–k.”
In fact, his behavior amongst his castmates—in addition to other uncomfortable moments between the two of them—made Michaella think twice about completing the rest of their journey.
“I don’t deserve any of what I’m getting,” she expressed through tears. “I love him. It’s just a lot. And we’re not getting married. I cannot marry this man under any circumstances.”
However, even after ending their engagement, they’ve coming to a crystal-clear understanding as friends. In fact, Stew shared that even though Jax had turned down producers’ offer to meet up again immediately after their reveal, she then reached out on her own terms.
“It was super sincere,” he previously told E! News. “She explained that it wasn’t about me. It was about just the emotional overload of the previous couple weeks, and I think once we got settled back in Boston, once kind of normal life was allowed to resume, we were able to kind of catch our breaths.”
At the reunion, Stew and Jax confirmed they’ve stayed in touch and even live near each other in Boston. While neither was ready to ask the other out on air, their attitude was very much “never say never” about their future. Jax did confirm she turned her engagement ring into a pinky ring which she wears everyday.
But, her fears were put to rest as the two both ended up saying yes, leaving almost everyone present to shed tears, including her daughter.
However, their relationship came to an end just four months later, the former couple revealed during an emotional face-off at the March 2026 season 10 reunion.
“Today was supposed to be our wedding day but it’s not,” she told the camera. “But right now, I feel like everything I want isn’t happening.”
As for her now ex, though Devonta noted that everything between then was “great,” ultimately, “I can’t walk into a marriage with self-doubt of ‘Can I love you how you need to be loved?’ I think that’s why I couldn’t get to the altar. I just can’t do it.”
And though Brittany walked away noting that they’re “still going to be together,” Devonta confirmed he’s not on the same page.
Indeed, Devonta revealed at the March 2026 reunion that he is now engaged to an old friend and the two are expecting a baby. The pair welcomed son Kyler Lee Anderson in August 2026.
But their journey reached a hard stop weeks later, Connor sharing on the Table for 1 podcast in June, “I’m not dating Bri anymore.”
However, Jessica has since found love in another pod mate, as she revealed at the March 2026 reunion, with fellow doctor Haramol Gill.
“You are everything, Jess,” Haramol told her during the special. “Every room you walk into gets brighter.”
“I do love you,” Mike told Emma. “Right now, I’m not ready to say I do. I want kids. And I want to know that you definitely, 100 percent want a family with me. I don’t wanna say yes and jump into something and then it changes down the road.”
And though Emma noted she can “see glimpses of a family,” in their future, Mike shared that he wants to her to be certain.
“If we’re gonna get married, I want you to know that you want a family with me for sure,” he explained. “I don’t want it to be half-ass…And you have your reasons and I respect them and respect them but I just can’t say yes without knowing that. So, I’m sorry.”
Mike has since hard-launched a new romance.
However, Ashley made it clear that it wouldn’t be the goal and jumped in when he was presented with whether he would say “I do.”
“I know what you’re going to say,” she told him. “I know you don’t choose me and I’m not choosing you either.” Ashley went on to list a number of reasons why they didn’t work out, including questions about his integrity. A point Alex made sure to address in that very same moment.
“I do disagree to an extent about the integrity,” he told her. “I felt as though the questions about my past were more to try and catch me in something than really understand me.”
And if you’re wondering whether he would do anything differently: “Absolutely no regrets on my end, I’m so pleased and proud of myself as a person.”
“I never thought I would fall in love in such a unique experiment, and Christine,” he noted during his vows, “the moment we spoke in those pods, we just connected…You know more about me than anyone else on this planet.”
She marked his 35th birthday in September with an Instagram tribute to “the kindest, most hardworking, humble, strong, gentle, passionate, joyful, God-fearing man.”
“I can’t be your wife,” she told the truck driver at the altar in season nine. “The person I fell in love with in the pods isn’t the person I’ve gotten to experience in real life.”
So, she listened to her intuition.
“It just didn’t feel right or how I would expect that moment to feel like,” she told the cameras. “I don’t feel he was super forthcoming about his lifestyle.”
Anton’s reaction? “I don’t know if it’s looks, I don’t know if it’s the vibes or I don’t know if it’s the way that we were living together. But I can say I’ve done nothing but care for her.”
“We’re ships in the night, like two different people,” the entrepreneur told him. But the metaphor passed him by, with Jordan insisting, “I don’t see it.”
When Megan cited his picky eating habits and his inflexible travel schedule as a dad, Jordan told her, “I don’t know why you chose me in the pods then.”
“Initially I leaned into opposites attract but I still just have reservations,” she explained before they each began crying. “Knowing this today, there’s no way I wanted to go to the altar and put either of us through that.”
Jordan shared his one regret was introducing her to his son, Luca, saying in a confessional, “I feel like she doesn’t love me for me and that’s the closure I need.”
Megan admitted the ordeal had her “questioning if I’m even cut out to be a mom. Maybe I am too caught up in my own life.”
But at the October 2025 reunion, she revealed she and partner Paul Wegman had welcomed a son they named Brooks.
“You deserve someone that is 100 percent at the altar and I’m not 100 percent right now,” she told the realtor. Still, she stressed, “My no doesn’t mean that I don’t love you.”
While Edmond broke down in tears, Kalybriah thanked him for being “so graceful” as she made the “hard” decision. When he asked if she’d date him “down the road,” Kalybriah said she’d never write him off.
“I am shocked,” he said in a confessional of her decision. “There was no bright side.”
“On and off camera, Joe was different,” Madison later told Glamour. “Off camera, he was far more reassuring. We were very intimate, very touchy. And then on camera, it was the opposite, and you kind of see that at the pool party.”
Madison even asked Joe about his attraction for her, which he confessed was an issue during their vacation.
“I kind of dug deeper, like, ‘What is your typical type?’ And he was like, ‘I just usually date more petite women,'” she recalled to the outlet. “I am a really confident person. At that moment, it kind of put me into this insecure feeling.”
Joe defended his comment, telling the outlet, “I was trying, poorly, to explain a pattern in my past dating experiences, not to compare or criticize.”
However, the hairstylist refused to believe it was over and tried to convince Nick to continue, saying, “Just be in this and love me.”
“You can’t make one plus one equal three,” he said, prompting her to say, “Watch me.”
Nick ultimately told Annie, “The reason that I am not willing to marry you is because I am unhappy.”
Not to mention, Dave also didn’t want to introduce Lauren to his friends and family, noting that his dad didn’t know of his engagement and that his sister—who became a big point of contention—disapproved of their relationship altogether.
“In this moment, it’s 100 percent,” she said through tears, “and I just feel like we’re both, we’re not quite there.” As for Joey, he agreed with every word.
“That’s totally okay,” he explained after hugging her. “I think we both have a tremendous amount of love for each other, and that’s apparent. But I think there’s bigger things and bigger growth. And I agree, I don’t think I would be ready. And to be completely honest, I’m also not 100 percent at this time.”
As Sara—who said, “I don’t” to a future with Ben—explained, “Ben, I love you so much but I always wanted a partner to be on the same wavelength, and so today, I can’t. I’m sorry but I don’t want that to be misunderstood.”
She later added, “I know that the connection we have is so real and my heart is there, but when we talked about a lot of the values I hold so close to my heart, making this decision, my mind is telling me I can’t.”
But it was even bigger issues that proved to be enough for Virginia, leading her to ultimately saying no to spending the rest of her life with Devin.
“I think that in a lot of our relationship, I wanted to protect Devin,” she said, through tears, after the leaving the altar. “And I don’t know if that’s a cultural thing, but it’s always been important for me to protect him. So, there were even topics that he didn’t want to talk about, like politics, there were just certain things he just didn’t want me to push on. So there was just depths of our relationship that we didn’t get to. We just didn’t get there.”
Though the pair seemed to face quite the hurdle (Taylor was convinced Daniel followed, then unfollowed her on Instagram before the show and therefore, knew what she looked like), they managed to clear that particular obstacle.
In fact, after exchanging emotional vows, the two enjoyed a beautiful wedding and celebratory reception.
“We did it,” Daniel said while sitting alongisde Taylor after their nuptials, with Taylor adding, “We’re so excited to start the next chapter.” They marked two years of their “wild journey” with a March 2026 Instagram post.
“The chemistry just wasn’t there,” Brittany previously told People in a joint interview with Leo. “We had a talk in the beginning about how this could work and then time went on during the trip and the chemistry just wasn’t there and we mutually felt that. We’re very good communicators, so it was not a big ordeal. It was a very clean, respectful realization.”
Shortly after her appearance on the Netflix dating show, Brittany debuted her romance with musician Mod Sun in <a href="https://comicvibe.com/shibuya-codes-november-2026-shibuya-roblox-guide/” title=”Shibuya Codes (November 2026) – Shibuya [Roblox] Guide”>November 2024, but she confirmed in July 2025 that the pair had called it quits.
“I hope I didn’t ruin anyone’s day by existing,” he wrote on Instagram Stories in October 2024, “and if I did, I’m sorry you had to wake up this morning. I wish you didn’t have to either. But I’ll love you all the same.”
And it all came to a head when Hannah decided they wouldn’t make it down the aisle. As for Nick, he called their breakup “one of the worst feelings of my life.”
Since then, Hannah has admitted the show forced her to do some self-introspection.
“I’ve learned a lot, I’ve learned there’s things I need to work on,” she said during an October 2024 episode of The Viall Files podcast. “For example, I am a very direct person. I know that but I think my delivery is rough. And I’ve learned that delivery is everything.”
“I’m very grateful to have a life partner like my husband because no matter where we are in the world you make it feel like home,” Taylor wrote in a November 2025 Instagram post marking their second anniversary. “I admire how much we have grown to build a life together and much of that has been because of you.”
“We have a great future ahead of us, I want to marry you,” Marissa told her fiancé after a sit-down to which he responds, “I understand falling in love is a risk, I understand that.”
However, he noted their differences—which have included his stance on the military—may be too tough to work through. “After being married and seeing other marriages and hearing from other married people,” he added. “I just don’t think love alone is enough…I think there needs to be other things that are also working.”
As for Marissa, though she tried to navigate past their perspectives, once she confirmed it was over, she broke down into tears. “I don’t think you should’ve come to this experience,” she tells him. “How could I feel so sure? And you’re not? It sucks, I want you to choose me,” adding of their split, “This is the worst day of my life.”
She announced her marriage to former partner D. Johnson in May 2026.
By the October 2024 reunion episode, Ashley and Tyler were able to move past this fact and went on to not only reconnect—but in fact, become husband and wife.
“We started this journey two months ago and this changed our entire lives,” Tyler says while sitting alongside Ashley after their wedding. “Now, we get to spend the rest of our lives together.”
However, Ashley later shared that the pair had called it quits following over one year of marriage.
“After much reflection, I want to share that Tyler and I have been separated for several weeks and have now made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” she told People in a January 2025 statement. “While I had hoped for mutual understanding and transparency in our relationship, it has become clear that our paths are no longer aligned, making it impossible for me to continue in this marriage.”
However, after Alex met with Tim’s family, they got into yet another argument and Tim ended their engagement by telling Alex that he didn’t ever want to see her again. Since then, both have spoken out to defend themselves after the breakup, with Alex noting that their split was not “a mutual decision.”
