The Lone Success Story: Daniel and Taylor
In a season marked by drama and doubts, Daniel Hastings and Taylor Haag emerged as the true beacon of hope for the Love Is Blind experiment. They were the only couple from the main televised engagements to officially say "I do" and remain together today.
Their connection was strong from the start, built on a foundation of shared values and a surprisingly easy-going dynamic. While they faced minor hurdles during the transition from the pods to the real world, their commitment never wavered, leading to one of the most heartwarming wedding ceremonies of the season.
The reunion special, which aired in March 2025, confirmed that Daniel and Taylor were not only still married but happily so, celebrating a full year since their wedding day. Daniel even revealed a new chest tattoo of his wife's name, a permanent declaration of his dedication to Taylor. Their success story is a crucial reminder that the core premise of the show—that love can truly be blind—is still possible.
The couple has since been active on social media, sharing glimpses of their married life, from traveling to spending time with family, solidifying their status as the longest-lasting couple from the Minneapolis season.
The Unaired Engagements That Are Still Going Strong
One of the biggest revelations of Season 8 came not from the televised weddings, but from the couples who got engaged but were ultimately cut from the final edit of the show. This season, two such couples were confirmed, but only one is still together, proving that sometimes, the best love stories happen off-camera.
Kylie Schuelke and Brian Sumption: The Secret Success
Kylie and Brian’s love story is arguably the most intriguing and unique outcome of the season. They connected and got engaged in the pods, but their journey was not featured in the main episodes. Despite the disappointment of being edited out, the couple confirmed on social media in February 2025, right after the premiere, that they were still together and in love.
A year later, the medical student and the wine buyer are still a committed couple. While they are not yet married, they have shared updates about their relationship, including moving in together and planning for their future. Their enduring relationship highlights a potential flaw in the show’s editing process, as their genuine connection was strong enough to survive outside the Love Is Blind bubble, offering fans a second, more private success story.
Brittany Dodson and Mo Ndiaye: The Controversial Split
The second unaired engagement was between Brittany Dodson and Mo Ndiaye. While they also found an initial connection and got engaged, they were not featured in the main season. Unfortunately, their relationship did not last. News of their breakup emerged alongside claims of controversy surrounding Mo, which reportedly led to their segment being cut from the show. This couple is definitively no longer together, making Daniel and Taylor’s televised success even more precious.
The Breakup Brigade: What Happened to the Other Couples?
The majority of the couples who left the pods engaged ultimately failed to make it to the altar or survive the post-show reality.

Sara Carton and Ben Mezzenga: The Altar Rejection
Sara and Ben had a passionate, if sometimes volatile, connection in the pods. Their journey was filled with highs and lows, and their differing approaches to conflict created tension. Despite their bond, Sara ultimately said "I can't" at the altar, leaving Ben heartbroken. While there was a brief attempt to reconcile and live together for a couple of weeks after the wedding, they confirmed at the reunion that they are no longer together. Ben, in particular, has moved on and is focusing on his entrepreneurial endeavors.
-
Devin Buckley and Virginia Miller: The Political Divide
Devin and Virginia's relationship was one of the most talked-about of the season, largely due to their significant differences in lifestyle and, notably, their political views. Virginia, a healthcare recruiter, and Devin, a youth director, struggled to reconcile their opposing perspectives on major issues. Their wedding was a dramatic affair, and they ultimately decided to part ways. They confirmed their breakup at the reunion, citing their core incompatibilities as the reason their love could not survive the real world.

David and Lauren: The Early Exit
David and Lauren were one of the first couples to break up after the pods. Their relationship did not progress far enough to be a central storyline, and they decided to go their separate ways before the wedding planning stage, confirming their split early in the series. This early exit is a common occurrence in the experiment, demonstrating that not all pod connections are strong enough to withstand the first few days of meeting face-to-face.
The Final Tally: Who Is Still Together?
As of the current date, December 23, 2025, the results for Love Is Blind Season 8 are clear. Out of the numerous singles who entered the pods in Minneapolis, only a select few managed to find a lasting partner.
The official married and still-together couple is Daniel Hastings and Taylor Haag. Their commitment to each other, despite the odds, makes them the sole success story of the televised season.
The second, and equally important, enduring relationship is the unaired engagement between Kylie Schuelke and Brian Sumption. Their private success proves that the experiment works, even when the cameras aren't rolling. These two couples represent the power of the pod process and the potential for genuine, deep connection in the most unconventional of dating formats.
