Fans of Love Is Blind Season 8 might have been deprived of one of the season’s surprise love stories, but Kylie Schuelke and Brian Sumption are finally opening up about their journey. Although their engagement never made it to the final cut, the pair's romance is officially on, showing that love can flourish outside the limelight as well.
Each season, a handful never make the final cut thanks to editing constraints, and this time around, Love Is Blind creator Chris Coelen shared with EW that two couples were excluded. He did not name them, but recent social media posts from Kylie and Brian strongly imply they were among the couples who had been excluded.
The couple went Instagram official shortly after the season dropped, posting photos from a Love Is Blind watch party. Their posts reminisced on their whirlwind experience and thanked the journey as they each toasted with the show’s signature gold wine glasses.
It’s unclear if they’re still engaged or even married, but Kylie was clearly not wearing a ring in the pics. But that might also be because the show has such strict confidentiality agreements that contestants usually can’t reveal their status until the finale.
While fans didn’t witness their chemistry develop in real time on the series, Kylie and Brian have shown that Love Is Blind enchantment is just as possible away from the cameras. Fans will have to wait to see if they will open up more about their journey in the upcoming weeks.
