Zack tries to get back with Bliss

Zack, the criminal defense attorney on 'Love Is Blind' Season 4, found himself in a love triangle with Irina Solomonova and Bliss Poureetezadi. As the two ladies exchanged words, Zack made a bold move and chose Irina, following his heart into the unknown. But when the newly-engaged couple finally met face-to-face, Irina's lack of physical attraction to Zack raised red flags. By the time they arrived in Mexico, the honeymoon phase had fizzled out before it even started. Their relationship quickly soured in the tropical paradise, with Irina showing more interest in fellow contestant Paul than in her fiancé. It was apparent that their compatibility was questionable from the start, and Irina made it clear that Zack was not her type. The pair mutually agreed to part ways. Zack also went to Paul, who is Irina's interest at the moment, to ask for relationship advice. He opened up by saying that with Bliss he feels a psychological connection, which is very important in a marriage. Zack later reconnected with Bliss, owning up to his mistake and admitting that she knew him better than Irina did. He cited Bliss's thoughtfulness on his birthday, which Irina forgot, and also expressed remorse for pursuing her before he was officially engaged. Although Irina initially claimed that Zack's proposal was the easiest yes of her life, their relationship ultimately did not work out.

Now, Zack is trying to win Bliss back, though it's unclear if she is willing to forgive him. Despite his admission that Bliss is a special woman, it remains to be seen if she will welcome him with open arms. But we put our detective hats on and did some digging ourselves. We saw that, according to the records on the King County website, the couple applied for their marriage license on April 26, 2022, and were confirmed on May 24, 2022, meaning they have been married for approximately a year. However, what's intriguing is that the certificate lists Bliss as the grantor and Zack as the grantee, which is the opposite of what we typically see for married couples. Could this mean that Bliss was the one who proposed to Zack?

Are Irina and Paul attracted to each other?

'Love Is Blind' fans know that the road to true love can be a bumpy ride, and Irina's journey was no exception. Despite initially fighting hard to win over Zack in the pods, Irina's doubts began to creep in when she met him face-to-face for the first time. She admitted in a new interview that her heart belonged to someone else, and that someone was none other than Micah's fiancé, Paul.

"I really like dark features," Irina gushed to Micah about Paul's looks. "And the moment I saw Zack, it was like, 'I don't know who this man is.'" Ouch. Irina even got a "major ick" when Zack touched her on their trip to Mexico. But things really heated up when she ran into Paul at the pool and they bonded over their shared love of Russian food. "Dab me up," Irina coyly asked, and Paul happily obliged. As we all saw, Irina and Zack eventually called it quits. But during their breakup conversation, Irina dropped a bombshell - she had also been thinking about someone else, and it wasn't Bliss. "The one that got away," she revealed to Zack, who was quick to guess that it was Paul. And he wasn't wrong. Irina later confessed that a five-minute conversation with Paul was all it took for her to realize that Zack was not the one for her. "I'm not blind," Zack admitted. "I could see it." But Paul does not feel the same way about Irina. He made it clear not to only viewers, but also Micah. Micah also confronted Irina outside the quarters and asked her directly if there is anything between them. To this Irina assured that there is nothing between them, but even that did not seem to cal Micah down.
