Why did Amber and Jordan break up? 'Love Is Blind' reunion drops bombshell as contestant walks off stage

A ‘Love Is Blind’ marriage that once looked promising crashed fast, and the reunion revealed the messy truth behind the split

When the ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 10 reunion episode dropped on March 11 on Netflix, the Ohio cast gathered to talk about life after the experiment. However, one marriage in particular barely made it past the honeymoon phase. Viewers were first introduced to Jordan Faeth as someone who openly admitted he did not want to date a single parent. That stance changed after he connected with Amber Morrison in the pods. Amber, a nurse practitioner and mother of a young daughter, formed a strong connection with Jordan early in the process. By the time the finale aired, the two surprised viewers by standing at the altar and saying yes to each other. But the reunion revealed a very different ending. 

During the conversation, host Nick Lachey asked the couple the obvious question: how had married life been after the cameras stopped filming? Jordan didn’t take long to answer. He revealed, “It lasted four months. So we’re not together anymore.” According to him, lingering fears from Amber’s past relationships complicated things between them. He explained, “I was constantly trying to repair a trust that I didn’t break. For me, it took a toll.” But Amber had a very different take on the situation. One of the main disagreements between them was where they would live after getting married. Amber hoped Jordan would move in with her and her daughter so they could begin building a life together. Instead, the two spent most of their time living separately, meeting on weekends while maintaining their own homes during the week.

Amber said, “I don’t think he was ready to be honest. It’s really difficult to trust somebody when they are only coming up on the weekends, or I’m going down there, and they want to be at home in Columbus like five, six nights a week.” Then Jordan brought up a specific incident. He recalled attending a wedding where he served as the best man. Amber arrived late to the event according to Jordan and he claimed that during the celebration, she drank so much that she eventually passed out at a table. He also said the night involved an argument between them, which left him embarrassed in front of guests. Jordan added, “Those things pushed me away.” Amber didn’t deny that she had struggled with anger in the past, and she acknowledged during the reunion that she wanted to work on those issues for the sake of their relationship.

Amber also shared that one part of the breakup hurt especially deeply. Jordan left without saying goodbye to her daughter. For her, that moment mattered because her child had begun forming a connection with him. At one point during the reunion, the conversation became overwhelming as Amber said, "Don’t f*cking come into somebody’s life if you’re gonna do that! I told you!" She then stormed off the stage for a moment to gather herself before returning. Jordan responded to the situation by clarifying that his decision to walk away wasn’t related to the child. He said he cared about her but felt the marriage itself wasn’t working. Despite everything that happened, Amber said the experience still brought some positive things into her life, particularly the friendships she built with the other women from the cast. Amber also surprised viewers by speaking kindly about Jordan in the end, describing him as a “good guy.”
