The ONE Love Is Blind Season 7 Couple Still Married Today (December 2025) & The Shocking Paternity Scandal That Broke Another
The social experiment of finding love sight unseen returned with a bang for its seventh season, this time setting up shop in the political and romantic landscape of Washington, D.C. Now, over a year since the dramatic premiere on October 2, 2024, the dust has settled, the wedding confetti has been swept up, and the long-term reality of the "I do's" has come into sharp focus. As of this current date, December 23, 2025, the D.C. season has delivered one enduring love story, a heartbreaking divorce, and perhaps the most explosive post-show paternity scandal in the history of the Netflix series.
The D.C. singles entered the pods seeking genuine connection, but only a handful made it to the altar. The true test—life outside the experiment—proved too much for most. Fans have been eagerly tracking the cast's journeys, and the updates from the past year are nothing short of dramatic, confirming which couples truly found a lasting bond and which connections were simply a fleeting spark.

The Shocking Paternity Scandal That Ended a Marriage
While two couples—Ashley Adionser & Tyler Francis and Taylor Krause & Garrett Josemans—made it to the altar and said “I do,” only one of those marriages survived the first year. The split between Ashley and Tyler was one of the most talked-about divorces in the show's history, largely due to a shocking paternity scandal revealed after the show aired.
The Core Controversy: Tyler Francis, a Real Estate Agent, was revealed to have been a sperm donor for a couple, resulting in three children.
During the D.C. season, Tyler mentioned his past as a sperm donor to Ashley, but the full extent of his involvement—specifically the number of children and the nature of his ongoing connection to the recipient couple—was allegedly downplayed or misrepresented.
Ashley Adionser later stated that the revelation, coupled with what she described as Tyler's fundamental dishonesty and the shift it caused in their home life, was the primary catalyst for their separation.
The couple separated in January 2025, only a few months after their on-screen wedding, and finalized their divorce by June 2025. The dramatic fallout and Tyler's emotional breakdown at the reunion when addressing the issue solidified this as one of Season 7's most explosive post-show storylines.
Status Update: The Only Couple Still Married in December 2025
Amidst the drama, broken engagements, and high-profile divorce, one couple from the Washington, D.C. season has proven the experiment can work: Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans.
Taylor, a Marketing Manager, and Garrett, a Quantum Physicist, had a relatively smooth journey in the pods, forming an intellectual and deeply emotional bond. Their biggest hurdle came after the pods when Garrett briefly entertained a conversation with an ex-flame, causing a minor rift with Taylor.
However, the couple overcame the hurdle and made it to the altar, successfully saying "I do." As of December 2025, Taylor and Garrett remain happily married, representing the sole success story of Love Is Blind Season 7. Their stability and commitment to working through their issues post-show have made them fan favorites and a testament to the show's core premise: that love can truly be blind. Their long-term success provides a much-needed positive narrative for the D.C. season, which was otherwise plagued by scandal.
The Engagements That Fell Apart Before the Altar
The journey from the pods to the altar is famously difficult, and Season 7 was no exception. Several couples who left the pods engaged never made it to the wedding day, often due to shocking revelations in the real world.
Monica and Stephen: The Betrayal
Monica and Stephen’s engagement was one of the first to implode. Shortly after returning to D.C. from the Mexico trip, Monica discovered that Stephen had been sending explicit sexual messages to another woman. This betrayal, which happened while they were still engaged and living together, led Monica to immediately end the relationship. The incident highlighted the challenges of transitioning from the isolated environment of the pods back into real life, with social media and external temptations proving too much for Stephen.
Hannah Jiles and Nick Dorka: The Love Quad Fallout
Hannah and Nick's connection was complicated from the start, following a dramatic "love quad" in the pods that also involved Brittany Wisniewski and Leo Braudy. While Hannah and Nick ultimately got engaged, the relationship struggled outside the pods. The intense emotional baggage from the quad, combined with the pressures of real life, led to the couple ending their engagement before the wedding day, with Hannah confirming post-show that she is now "very single."
Marissa George and Ramses Prashad: The Unseen Split
Marissa and Ramses were another couple who found a connection in the pods and got engaged. However, their story was less prominently featured on the show. Like many other couples who don't make it to the wedding, they quietly ended their engagement shortly after the Mexico trip. The consensus among the cast was that their connection, while sincere in the pods, lacked the necessary foundation to withstand the realities of merging their lives in Washington, D.C. Their split, along with the other breakups, underscores the difficulty of maintaining a pod-born relationship under public scrutiny.
As Love Is Blind continues to explore the complexities of modern dating, the D.C. season serves as a powerful case study. It delivered one truly successful, long-lasting marriage in Taylor and Garrett, but also provided a cautionary tale about honesty and transparency through the Ashley and Tyler scandal. The long-term status of the cast, over a year later, proves that only the strongest, most honest bonds forged in the pods have a chance to survive in the real world. Fans eagerly await news on the next season, hoping for more success stories to follow in Taylor and Garrett's footsteps.
