Leo Braudy and Brittany Wisniewski, former contestants on Love is Blind Season 7, will appear in the show's reunion special. The couple announced their return through a social media video on October 10, 2024. The reunion will air on Netflix on October 30, 2024, at 9 p.m. ET.
Leo and Brittany got engaged during the pod phase of the show. They left the series early after being excluded from the Mexico trip for engaged couples. Instead, they took a private trip to Miami where they ended their relationship. Their comeback for the reunion follows their absence from recent episodes.
The special will address their brief romance and subsequent breakup, providing new information about their Love is Blind experience.
Leo and Brittany return for Love Is Blind Season 7 reunion after early exit
This was the first public appearance the former couple made since their breakup. The video, shared across various social media platforms including Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, featured a lighthearted interaction between them.
In the video, Brittany initiates the conversation by asking Leo, "Do you know what time it is?" Leo took this question as an opportunity to make a lighthearted remark about his Rolex watch, a hot topic throughout his tenure on the show.
The playful banter between the two suggested a cordial relationship post-breakup, piquing interest in their upcoming reunion appearance.
Leo and Brittany's Love is Blind journey
Leo Braudy, a 31-year-old art dealer, and Brittany Wisniewski, a 33-year-old esthetician, began their Love is Blind journey in Washington, DC, where Season 7 was filmed.
During their time in the pods, Leo made a strong impression by emphasizing his financial success and discussing his career in art dealing. He notably mentioned his Rolex watch, which became a talking point throughout his time on the show.
Brittany, on the other hand, shared her passion for environmentalism and her involvement in beach clean-up efforts. She revealed that she had collected over 10,000 pounds of garbage through her Baltimore-based beach clean-up organization.
Despite their different focuses, the couple formed a connection strong enough to result in an engagement within the pods. However, things did not go as well as they had planned during their first meeting in person. Brittany noticeably withdrew from Leo's attempts at physical affection, and she struggled to express love for him during their initial in-person encounter.
This rocky start was followed by another setback when the show's producers did not select Leo and Brittany for the traditional honeymoon trip to Mexico, where other engaged couples from the season were sent to further explore their relationships. Instead, the couple opted for a private trip to Miami.
The couple's split
During their time in Miami, Leo and Brittany made the decision to end their engagement. This development was later communicated to the audience by the show's producers after the Mexico episodes had aired.
Following their breakup, Leo and Brittany gave a joint interview to PEOPLE magazine, where they provided insights into the reasons behind their split. Both described the breakup as mutual and respectful, citing a lack of romantic chemistry despite their initial connection in the pods.
Brittany explained that while Leo met many of her criteria for a partner, she ultimately did not see a long-term future with him. Leo, for his part, expressed initial disappointment about being excluded from the Mexico trip. However, he acknowledged that the time spent in Miami brought clarity to their situation.
As of the announcement, the first nine episodes of Love is Blind Season 7 were available for streaming on Netflix. The streaming platform scheduled the release of the remaining episodes for October 16, 2024, allowing viewers to catch up on all the developments before the reunion special.
The reunion, set to air on October 30, 2024, promises to be a comprehensive wrap-up of the season.
