'Love Is Blind' is back again with a new season, and this time the action takes place in Ohio. The Netflix social experiment-based reality television show is famous for forging connections among prospective male and female bachelors in the famous 'pods'. The catch, however, is that they must develop a liking for each other without having seen each other in person. The 10th episode of 'Love Is Blind' premiered on February 11, as part of its first batch of six episodes. Among the other contestants on the show, 31-year-old day trader Alex Henderson has attracted considerable attention. 

Henderson is a former star college soccer athlete and previously lived in Florida. In the most recent batch of episodes, which dropped on February 18, Henderson opened up about seeing a woman from Chicago in a conversation with his fiancée, Ashley. He added that he had been seeing the said girl before joining the reality television show, and that there might have been another girl in Austin, Texas. Henderson then recalled that the relationship with the woman in Chicago turned out to be complicated, and, owing to the distance involved, it was sporadic at best.

The woman ultimately left Henderson, and the latter concluded by revealing, "there was cheating of some capacity involved from her end.” Although none of this was shown during the pod episodes, this revelation sparked several questions about Henderson's dating history. 'Love Is Blind' season 10 contestant Priyanka Gandhi (Image Source: Instagram | @loveisblindnetflix)

A Tiktoker by the name of @YourFriendEllen stepped in to sort out the mystery and dropped quite a few interesting observations. For starters, Ellen suggested that the mystery girl from Chicago might actually be Priyanka Gandhi, another contestant in the pods this season with very little airtime. Ellen went on to claim, "The Chicago relationship was on and off, and there was distance in the beginning. According to her Instagram, Gandhi was in Chicago from 2019 to 2022."

"He says that she eventually left him and that there was cheating of some capacity involved from her end." She further speculated that Henderson's relationship with Chicago could have ended right after he had to quit soccer. This would be in keeping with the time period in which Gandhi was posting from Chicago through her social media accounts. Ellen further added, "In my mind, if they were together or if there were group photos of them together, she might have taken them down.”

Moreover, according to her Instagram bio, Gandhi's currently in Austin. This fits with Henderson's earlier statement that he was seeing another girl in Austin. Certainly, all of this might just be a massive coincidence, or it could also be the truth. One would have to wait till the finale of 'Love Is Blind' Season 10 to find out more. The next batch of episodes drops on Netflix on Wednesday.
