SPOILER ALERT: Below are spoilers for the Love Is Blind Season 7 reunion, now streaming on Netflix.

Let's start with the positive: the two couples who tied the knot in the finale – Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans; and Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser – are both still together and going strong. The latter experienced a bit of turmoil during the season when he told her he had three “sperm donor babies.” Since the show began airing, Tyler has faced backlash online for not revealing the nature of his relationship with his three children, as photos of them all together were revealed. But during the reunion, the couple cleared everything up.

“These kids, this family, they didn’t sign up for this. I helped a friend and her wife start a family; Her wife eventually left her. I volunteered to step in and help,” he explained, adding that he has since spent the holidays with that family, as well as with many of his friends’ families. “Ashley knows all this. This is news to the world, this has never been news to us… I don't owe anyone an explanation except my wife and she's sitting here with me.”

After tearing up, Ashley added that the couple had had a lot of conversations about the situation and she knew he didn't want to reveal more on TV, which is why it seemed like he was keeping things from her. In reality, he was honest, just off camera.

Marissa George and Ramses Prashad

Marissa cried and talked about her relationship with Ramses, who explained that he broke up with her because their energy felt too different; He said he feared if they stayed together he would “feel exhausted and overwhelmed.” While he said he didn't want to change who she was, she whispered to Hannah, “I think I hate him.”

Marissa's mother was also present and said she spoke to Ramses the day he left Marissa and wanted to “punch him in the throat.” She said she was grateful he called it off because her daughter “would have carried that relationship.”

Later in the show, Marissa admitted to meeting Ramses after filming stopped.

The tension continued when Hannah revealed that she found Nick's notebook with his goals written down, including one that read, “Become the most famous person ever on 'Love Is Blind.'” He claimed that this was one of his 90 days -Goals was written “long before” he came on the show.

“I would never sit in front of the camera and say I love you 100 times if I didn't mean it. I was super sincere,” he replied. Hannah called Nick “very calculated” and revealed that she heard him saying things about her looks behind her back and that he called her a “grenade” – but was then extremely nice when the cameras were rolling.

The section then extended to the rest of the group as some of the men acknowledged Nick did Call Hannah a “grenade” to the guys who then told their partners. Nick denied this, initially saying: “I never once mentioned Hannah's looks.” Moments later, he admitted he was “blown away” when he saw her.

When he shared that he had written a letter to her parents apologizing, she became frustrated and replied, “Did you write that letter so you could say it?”

Stephen did again admit that he screwed up and went to therapy, but “at the end of the day, no one cares,” he said. “I understand that I completely screwed up. How much more responsibility do I have to take on?”
