Who were you rooting for?

Let's face it, reality dating shows are not designed to find a perfect match for all of their contestants. They are more about money and fame. Especially Love Is Blind, which features a social experiment where single men and women get engaged before meeting in person and decide whether to marry on their wedding day.

Such a format inevitably leads to many dramatic moments, as some brides and grooms leave their show partners standing alone at the altar, and takes a toll on the participants' lives after the show. Even those who tie the knot on camera don't last long. As a result, we have plenty of real-life drama to dive into.

Here are five of the most scandalous breakups in Love Is Blind history.

Carlton Morton and Diamond Jack

The Season 1 couple had one of the most epic moments in the show's history. Initially, the two had a strong chemistry together, but during their post-engagement trip to Mexico, the two had an explosive argument over Carlton's surprising confession of his bisexuality. Diamond was frustrated by the revelation and felt that Carlton was hiding something from her, so they broke up.

Later, at the reunion, Carlton tried to reconnect with his ex-fiancée, but Diamond remained adamant and blocked him on social media.

Giannina Gibelli and Damian Powers

This Season 1 couple had many viewers on edge with their tumultuous relationship and dramatic finale. But that was not the end. After Damian left Giannina at the altar, they got back together and dated for two years.

However, the second chance did not work out either. The two pulled the plug on their relationship again in 2021.

Kyle Abrams and Shaina Hurley

Season 2 couple Kyle and Shaina broke off their engagement for a dramatic reason: their opposing views on religion. While Shaina is a devout Christian, Kyle is an atheist. This led to some harsh conflicts between the two and divided viewers.

Although the couple reportedly tried to reunite after the end of Season 2, their differences were too great to give this relationship a real chance.

Raven Ross and SK Alagbada

The Season 3 couple broke up on-screen before their wedding day. However, they reunited after the show and appeared very loving and happy on social media. This paradise was soon interrupted when several women came out and accused SK of being a cheater.

This turned into a huge scandal and helped to reveal that SK and Raven had broken up some time ago.

Nick Thompson and Danielle Ruhl
