Who is Devonta Anderson? ‘Love is Blind’ Season 10 contestant breaks no phone rule after tragic incident
Netflix's hit dating reality show 'Love Is Blind' is back with Season 10, and six episodes have already been released. The early episodes feature budding connections, medical emergencies, and a shocking tragedy that led to the breaking of an important rule. In an unexpected turn of events, contestant Devonta Anderson broke one of the dating reality show's rules, and the reason behind it is truly heartbreaking.
During a pod date with his connection Brittany Wicker, Anderson shared that he had been pulled out by production after learning that his grandfather had passed away. He explained that while he considered leaving the show, he ultimately decided to stay, guided by advice from his brother and grandmother about what his grandfather would have wanted. Wicker then reassures Anderson that she would completely understand if he chose to leave the show to be with his family. After thinking on conversations with his brother and grandmother, Anderson decided to continue filming.
Notably, 'Love Is Blind' has a strict no phones, no internet, and no connection to the outside world rule. Talking about it creator Chris Coelen revealed, "We took away their devices so there wouldn't be distractions," as per Oprah Daily. Talking about Anderson's romantic journey on 'Love Is Blind Season' Season 10, from the very beginning, it was clear that the loan officer and registered nurse Wicker were strongly drawn to each other in the pods. Their emotional connection seemed undeniable, but once they met face-to-face, differences in what they were seeking in a partner became apparent, creating a sense of tension and uncertainty in their relationship.
Wicker enthusiastically joined the show, fully committed to finding love and her commitment was further cemented by the fact that she even bought a wedding dress before entering the pods. From Episode 1, she was focused on Anderson, and by Episode 4, the two were officially engaged. Before his proposal, Wicker even expressed gratitude for their emotional connection, and Anderson proposed, calling her his best friend. Brittany excitedly accepted, saying she couldn't wait to be his wife.
However, things quickly escalated between the couple, as at the end of Episode 6, Wicker walked away from a conversation with Anderson, expressing frustration over their lack of connection and questioning whether he truly wanted to be with her. Anderson felt they were in a good place but admitted he was distracted by family matters and adjusting to life outside the pods. Wicker also revealed she was in a "season of celibacy," wanting to wait until she knew Anderson was the one. Their disagreement over intimacy and emotional closeness ended with Wicker leaving, making us wonder whether Anderson will chase her or let her go for good.
