”Jarrette and Iyanna – As you start the next chapters of your lives, thank you for opening your hearts to the Love is Blind experience and sharing your journey with all of us,” the show tweeted.
While some fans felt they would go the distance, many fans already had a hunch it wasn’t going to work since Jarrette TOLD Iyanna that she was his second choice. He developed a connection with Mallory Zapata during the vetting “pod phase,” but after she turned him down, Jarrette put his focus on Iyanna, and they got engaged.
Fans felt Iyanna should have declined his engagement and never married him after he told her she was his second choice.
Peep the unsurprised reactions below:
Jarette straight up told Iyanna she was the second choice and she still married him #LoveIsBlind

Sad for Iyanna & Jarrette but not at all shocked. We all were screaming at her to not go through with it while watching. She was his second choice and she knew #LoveIsBlind

“Love is Blind” also taught us to beware of men of color in their 30s who’ve never dated someone of their own race/ethnicity.
Lemme shut up.

And this is quite interesting…
“Right before the divorce announcement,” Mallory posted a meme that reads. “The reality is. None of us are easy to be with. We all suffer from something. So when you meet someone who’s willing to stay committed to understanding you & actually wants to grow with you. Don’t let something silly like ego & pride ruin it..”
