The Love Is Blind pods have left Denver, Colorado — and opened once again in a brand-new city.
For the milestone 10th season, Love Is Blind brought its famed pod dating experiment to Ohio.
“Every city has its own personality,” cohost Nick Lachey exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2025 about future Love Is Blind settings. “I think that’s what’s great about the show is that particular season, you take on the personality of that of that city and the people in that city. Minneapolis was a very different vibe than was D.C. than was Charlotte, than was Atlanta. So, every season is different.”
He continued, “There’s a lot of places we haven’t been yet that I think would be a lot of fun. You know, Portland would probably be a lot of fun. I think Austin would be great, [which is where] we shot season 1 of The Ultimatum, and it’s a fantastic city. I think Austin would be great for the show.”
Love Is Blind seeks to answer whether lasting romances solely based on emotional connections can be forged or whether physical traits are equally as important. In the show’s nine-season history, there have been 13 marriages — only four ended in divorce — and four babies.

“What my dad says is, I have a bad picker. So I always pick the wrong guy,” Ashley, 34, said in a trailer about her intentions for joining the experiment. “I just want to make sure that I am picking someone with a good heart, great morals and a family atmosphere that I can mesh with.”

Who Is Hosting ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 10?

How Did ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 9 End?
Love Is Blind season 9, which aired in 2025, made history after none of the couples got married on the show.
“While we’re always rooting for our participants to find a lifelong commitment because that’s what they all say they come to Love is Blind for, most importantly, we root for them to make the decisions they feel are right for themselves,” show creator Chris Coelen told Tudum in October 2025. “I think that’s what happened here.”
Despite the season’s outcome, Coelen still believes the series’ hypothesis was proven correct.
“The experiment is one of the most incredible things I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of, personally or professionally, and it’s amazing,” Coelen told the outlet. “Remember that the experiment is an experiment, and it’s meant to test two main questions: First, is it possible to fall in love with someone based solely on who they are? And second, if you do fall in love and get engaged, is that love strong enough to overcome the obstacles of the real, material world?”
He continued, “In season 9, at least one member of each couple felt their love was not strong enough to overcome the challenges of the real world, and they chose not to get married. That’s exactly how the experiment is supposed to work, so I would say not only is the experiment working, I think it’s working better than ever.”
