From pods to parenthood: finding real love and building families
Since its premiere, the hit Netflix series Love Is Blind, which is rooted in the age-old idiom of forming emotional connections sight unseen, tests whether true love can thrive without the influence of physical attraction.
Over the years, Love Is Blind has not only sparked whirlwind romances and dramatic break-ups but has also led to the creation of real families as couples transition from pod dates to parenthood.
One of the most heartwarming stories comes from season 4's Bliss Poureetezadi-Goytowski and Zack Goytowski. The couple tied the knot on May 9 2022 after connecting on the show and became the first Love Is Blind couple to welcome a child. Their baby boy Galileo Terri Rayne Goytowski was born in 2024.
In an interview with People in November 2023, the couple shared their excitement about starting a family. 'We've been so open to sharing our journey and relationship with the world, and this is our next beautiful thing. I'm really happy, and I hope that it brings joy to other people,' said Bliss.
Alexa and Brennon Lemieux from season 3 also welcomed a daughter, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, in 2023. The couple married in June 2021 and celebrated their second anniversary last summer.
Alexa has been candid about her fertility challenges, sharing on Instagram that she had experienced two failed IUI treatments and had to make lifestyle and dietary changes to conceive.
