‘Love Is Blind’ Season 10 reunion reveals Jessica Barrett is dating a castmate but it's not Chris Fusco
The ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 10 reunion special, released on March 11 on Netflix, came packed with updates from the Ohio-based cast. But one reveal caught the audience completely off guard as it involved a romantic twist nobody predicted when the season originally aired. Jessica Barrett announced that she's currently in a new relationship, but it’s not with the man she was once engaged to. During the season, viewers watched Jessica form a connection with Chris Fusco in the pods, eventually accepting his proposal without seeing him face-to-face.
The relationship moved forward toward the altar like most couples on the show, but cracks began showing long before the wedding day. Their breakup became one of the most talked-about moments of the season as Fusco told her he wanted a partner who maintained a fitness routine. He specifically mentioned daily Pilates, a comment that didn’t sit well with Jessica, who eventually ended the relationship. But at the reunion, Jessica revealed that she did find love through the experiment. Instead of reconnecting with Chris, she found herself growing closer to another cast member from the same season: Haramol Gill.
The twist surprised fans because while the two originally formed a connection in the pods during filming, their relationship was not featured on the show. Looking back on the fact that they did not get engaged, Gill admitted he simply “wasn’t brave enough” when he had the chance. After the show wrapped filming, the two doctors gradually reconnected outside the reality TV bubble. What began as casual conversations slowly turned into a steady friendship. For a while, they stayed firmly in the friend zone. Eventually, Gill decided to make a move, as according to him, he didn’t want to miss the opportunity twice.
During the reunion, he explained, “If the universe gives you a second chance, you take that seriously.” The pair didn’t hold back when talking about their relationship during the special. They exchanged affectionate remarks that stole the show, and Gill spoke warmly about Jessica, saying, “You are everything, Jess. Every room you walk into gets brighter, every human you talk to walks away more whole, more seen. That’s who you are, and I’m proud to have you next to me. Also, the fact that you’re packaged like that — you’re so hot. I only have eyes for you.” Jessica smiled throughout the speech as the couple expressed their love for each other, winning the hearts of the audience.
