Netflix stars expecting first baby together after meeting on reality show
Love Is Blind favourites Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton tied the knot after meeting on the Netflix reality show five years ago and have been going strong ever since. Love Is Blind's golden couple, Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton, have announced that they're expecting their first child - five years after falling in love and tying the knot on Netflix 's hit reality dating show. Lauren posted about the joyful moment she discovered she was pregnant on Instagram, sharing a photo of her holding a positive Clearblue pregnancy test with Cameron's arms wrapped around her. She added to that with a series of other tender snapshots where the couple could be seen holding up ultrasound images, kissing, and holding hands. Lauren told followers: "The moment that changed everything. After 4 years of prayers, patience, and a whole lot of love…seeing the word PREGNANT on our Clearblue test made it real! Now we finally get to share this joy with all of you." The announcement was met with a lot of love from fans, who have been following the couple's story since the show's first season aired. One follower wrote, "Congratulations, you all! You're going to be the BEST parents." Another gushed, "I absolutely love to see it!!! My favourite Love is Blind couple! I want to watch your season all over again!!!" This news comes after the couple faced the tough process of trying to have a child while struggling with fertility problems. In a recent interview with People magazine, they opened up about going through with in-vitro fertilization (IVF) after years of trying to conceive. Cameron shared: "We were counting down the days 'til we could test because we did IVF. We did the classic test and we both went into the bathroom to look. We saw the word pregnant - that was just a huge moment." Lauren, now 37, still remembers the emotional impact of realising she was finally pregnant. She added: "We just looked at each other. I fell to my knees and cried. It's been a long time coming. We've literally been trying to get pregnant for four years." Their IVF journey has been anything but easy. On their podcast The Love Seat, Cameron seemed to well up while speaking about how strong Lauren stayed throughout the whole process. He said: "Knowing that IVF wasn't something you naturally wanted to do but you did it for me - you showed me a new level of love that I'd never seen before." Lauren said that facing this challenge only brought them closer together, adding: "It's actually made us stronger. We support each other. We're more in tune now." The couple rose to fame in 2020 as one of only two successful pairs from the first season of Love Is Blind, which is a reality series where couples get engaged before ever seeing each other. They then have a matter of weeks to prepare for their wedding and decide if they are really ready to commit for life. Since the cameras stopped rolling, this couple have continued to inspire viewers with their lasting love for each other, and now they are ready to take on the new challenge of being parents side by side.

‘Love Is Blind' Alum Amber Pike Gives Birth to 1st Baby With Husband Matt Barnett
Love Is Blind alums Amber Pike and Matt Barnett are officially parents following the arrival of their first baby, a daughter. "Baby Barnett has arrived and is more perfect than anything I could've dreamed," Pike, 33, gushed via Instagram on Sunday, April 6. "If you hadn't guessed yet Baby B is a She, and I literally still can't believe the hospital let us take her home and that she is actually ours." She added, "It may be the hormones but @barnettisblind and our baby girl have my heart so full I can hardly function, I hope this feeling never goes away." The pair announced they were expecting during a joint appearance on fellow Love Is Blind couple Lauren and Cameron Hamilton's 'The Love Seat' podcast in October 2024. Love Is Blind's Matt Barnett and Amber Pike's Relationship Timeline 'I sent myself back to school because I felt like we were in a place where I could do that, like, I had the support and I was mentally there,' Pike said at the time. 'Then, over summer break, he just went and knocked me up,' she quipped, pointing to Barnett. Pike and Barnett also shared the happy news in an Instagram post at the time. 'Where it started. Where we've been. Where we're at…,' she captioned the video, which included photos from throughout their relationship and a glimpse of Pike's growing baby bump. The pair hit it off during season 1 of Love Is Blind, which was filmed in 2018. Barnett proposed to Pike sight unseen on the Netflix reality show, and they tied the knot during the finale, which aired in 2020. Pike was vocal about her desire to start a family with Barnett as the two settled into married life, but her epilepsy battle presented complications. 'Obviously, I wanted to have kids sooner. But also with everything that's been going on with me health-wise, it's scary,' she said during the first season of Love Is Blind: After the Altar. 'I feel like the longer we wait, the harder things are going to be on me physically to have kids. I just feel like shoes just keep dropping on us and he's more concerned about his own fears that he doesn't acknowledge mine at all, especially when it comes to how scared I am with having high-risk pregnancies and in his mind, I feel like he thinks he can put it off forever.' 'Love Is Blind' Couples Status Check: Who Is Still Together and Who Broke Up? Despite some hardships, Pike and Barnett's relationship only grew stronger over time. 'I know a lot of people have their opinions about Matt and I and how we live our life… but looking back at this past year only solidifies that… IDGAF,' she wrote via Instagram in January 2022. 'Every human being, no matter how caught up they get with society's expectations, has their own unique desire for what they want their life to be and the life I dreamed about was based off of my own expectations and nobody else's.' She continued: 'I have been nothing less than blessed to find a partner that looks at life the same way that I do, as an adventure meant to be lived out instead of just dreamt about. We have a full life that we get to share with each other and our family and friends, and if we had nothing else at the end of the day besides that, I would still say we have a life that's good.' Pike reiterated her point in October 2024 when she shared a selfie with Barnett and a quote that read, 'I'm more interested in how my life feels to me than how it looks to others.' She captioned the Instagram post, 'Mom & Dad(dy).'

All the 'Love Is Blind' Couples Who Are Still Together
When the first season of Love Is Blind aired back in 2020, we're sure most people watching were skeptics. After all, while the premise of meeting someone without seeing them is interesting, how well could they really get to know one another in the pods? Plus, wouldn't looks become a factor whether or not they choose to delay it? Well, as it turns out, season 1 couples Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton and Amber Pike and Matt Barnett proved all the skeptics wrong. Not only did these two couples have a connection since the very beginning, but meeting each other in person for the first time made for some magical moments and walking down the aisle by the finale was, impressively, a no-brainer. Sure, not all seasons of the show have been that successful. Season 4 has three couples still together while season 2, sadly, made for no long-lasting duo. But, with a few successful marriages (and even some Love Is Blind babies!) over the years, we think the show has established that the experiment is indeed worth exploring. Check out all the Love Is Blind couples who are still together today! More from SheKnows Meghan Markle Reveals Why She's 'Missing' Prince Harry in Her Sweet Valentine's Day Tribute Best of SheKnows Everything You Need To Know About Elon Musk's Huge Family, Co-Parents, & 13 Children Every Glamorous Royal Family Appearance at the BAFTAs Through the Years 70 of the Longest Celebrity Relationships That Are Defying Hollywood Odds We couldn't start this list with any couple besides Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton. The pair, who are season 1's biggest success story, met on the pods, got engaged when they first met in person, and tied the knot by the end of the season. In 2023, they renewed their vows on their fifth wedding anniversary. 'It feels like a flash,' Speed told People. 'Even though I know for some people who've been married for 50 years, they're like, 'Five years? That's nothing. That's just the beginning.' But we feel so blessed and we're happy.''Every day feels like I fall more and more in love with Cam, which I didn't even know was possible,' she admitted. 'So I'm just happy to be where we are now and for our growth and proud of us.' Another major season 1 success couple is Amber Pike and Matt Barnett. The two also got engaged and married onscreen and have been happily together ever since. In October 2024, they announced in Lauren and Cameron's podcast The Love Seat that they were expecting their first baby. 'I sent myself back to school because I felt like we were in a place where I could do that, like, I had the support and I was mentally there,' Amber said when asked for a life update. 'Then, over summer break, he just went and knocked me up.' Skipping past season 2, season 3 had a few success stories too. Among the fan favorites were Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux, whose connection was undeniable from the moment they met. In January 2024, they announced they were expecting their first baby. 'The best of me and the best of you, baby Lemieux coming soon 🤍,' they wrote on Instagram. Six months later, they welcomed their first daughter together. 'Our perfect daughter, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, born July 31, 2024,' they wrote on Instagram. 'She has mommy's hair and daddy's dimples and we couldn't be more in love 🩷.' Season 3 couples Matt Bolton and Colleen Reed had some ups and downs on the show, but there's happy as ever now. Currently, they're enjoying married life and showing their appreciation for each other on social media. 'Matt, I met you in the most unexpected way and now I can't imagine a life without you,' Reed wrote on Instagram. 'We have gone through many challenges and I'm proud of much we learned from each hurdle that we have come across. A year and a half later and I continue to love you more and more each day.' 'You are my love, my person, my best friend, my chef, my dance partner, my world traveler, my movie buddy, my golfer, my lobster, my silly goose…my everything,' she continued. 'Quoting myself, 'Cheers to getting Litty as a Titty for the rest of lives!'' Moving on to season 4, fans of the show will be happy to hear that Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah are still together! The two had some issues, but they ended up saying 'I do' on the show that aired on Friday, April 14, 2023. 'The amount of stress you feel in deciding if you're going to marry someone you met in an experience like this is.. A LOT,' Appiah said of the process on Instagram. 'Unloading all of our baggage, combining all the different parts of our lives, hoping it makes logical sense as people who truly love each other. Its hard for people to understand. It takes a lot of strength, courage and vulnerability to make it through this, and you embody all of those traits so well. I couldn't imagine going through this experiment with anyone else.' They've been shring their lives in Seattle and globe-trotting all over the world ever since! Another season 4 couple who is still together is Tiffany Pennywell and Brett Brown. These two were truly always meant to be. In Nov. 2024, she even gushed about her husband on Instagram for his birthday. 'Spent the evening celebrating the man who somehow keeps getting better with age (teach me your ways!) lol! 38 has never looked so good, and I'm lucky to be along for the ride,' she wrote in the caption. 'Here's to more memories together—I love you endlessly! Happy Birthday babe!' Season 4 stroke luck once again with Bliss Poureetezadi and Zack Goytowski. While Goytowski didn't initially chose Poureetezadi at first, they eventually worked it out and she gave him another chance. Luckily, that's all they needed to know they were meant to be. In the finale, the two also tied the knot. In Nov. 21, 2023, they announced they were expecting their first baby together. 'It's a little bit nerve-wracking, but I think it's also such a beautiful thing,' Poureetezadi told People. 'Babies are miracles and blessings, and I think we've been so open to sharing our journey and our relationship with the world, and this is our next big beautiful thing. I'm really happy and I hope that it brings joy to other people. It's definitely brought us a ton of joy.' On April 26, 2024, they welcomed their daughter, Galileo. 'We are so in love with our precious, beautiful baby girl,' the couple told People after their birth. 'We are forever changed and are so blessed to spend the rest of our lives loving her. She is our moon, our stars, the center of our universe.' Season 5's only successful post-show couple is Lydia Gonzalez and James 'Milton' Johnson IV. The couple had a rocky journey on the show, with Gonzalez interested in other contenders and old flames coming to light, but they still made it down the aisle and said their 'I do's' in 2021. 'Every day with you feels like a new chapter in the best love story ever told,' Johnson wrote on Instagram close to their second wedding anniversary. 'From navigating career changes and braving the challenges of graduate school to our playful debates about home decor, you've been my steadfast support and guiding star.' 'In my darkest hours, especially during the passing of my closest friend, your unwavering love became my solace,' he continued. 'Your love and strength pulled me through the pain I experienced. You've created a space for me to be vulnerable, authentic, and unapologetically me. Every sunrise begins with you on my mind, and every sunset finds you there still. I fell in love without seeing you, and I'd take that leap of faith a million times over. You're more than just my love; you're my heart, my strength, my everything. I am so proud and eternally grateful to call you my wife. I love you, always and forever. 🤍' Season 6's happy couple and most obvious connection was Amy Cortés and Johnny McIntyre. Soon, they'll be getting ready to celebrate their wedding anniversary in May 2025. On their first anniversary, the pair reflected on how easy and fun life had been away from the cameras. 'I feel like it has not been a year, I feel like it's been a month and a half,' McIntyre told People. 'Time has been absolutely flying and it's insane to think that's already been a year. I don't know, it just feels really good.' 'We've been enjoying our first year so much, traveling, seeing family,' Cortés added. 'We're enjoying every second of it, and it went by so fast. At the same time I feel like we've been together for ages in a weird way, if that makes sense.' Garrett Josemans and Taylor Krause are the latest couple to prove that Love Is Blind can really work. The couple met in season 7, got married in the finale, and have been gushing about each other ever since. 'On Nov 13, 2023, almost a year ago now, I married my person, and we've been inseparable ever since,' Josemans wrote in a tribute on Instagram in November 2024. 'When I did my exit interview with my producer the next day, I was asked if I had anything else I wanted to say and I broke down in tears; tears of overwhelming gratitude for everything that had just happened to me over the past 6 weeks.' 'I fell in love with Taylor in the pods for her humor and intellect, then I quickly found myself enamored by her looks, playfulness, and our partnership in the real world,' he continued. 'Every day with Taylor is the best day of my life. We never would have met in the real world and even if we had, it never would've worked. And for that, I'm forever grateful to @loveisblindnetflix for bringing us together and giving us a chance to fall in love before our pragmatic brains decided it'd never work. Because here we are making it work every day, and we wouldn't have it any other way.' How sweet is that?
