Mallory Zapata is coming to Love Is Blind season 2 with an open heart, and it's time to learn more about the soon-to-be reality star. Love Is Blind season 2 comes two years after the original show. While fans got to catch up with the original cast on Love Is Blind: After the Altar, season 2 starts with a brand-new cast and social experiment.
In many ways, Love Is Blind feels like Married at First Sight's sister show. Rather than featuring cast members going all-in on complete strangers, Love Is Blind has its cast get to know each other in intimate "pods" where they can hear but not see each other. The auditory speed dates eventually progress into proposals (or not). The show's already had one resounding success story, so there could be hope for future prospects like Mallory.
Love Is Blind 2's Mallory Zapata's Age
Mallory Zapata is 32 years old and hails from Chicago, Illinois. She shows that she loves her city by taking time for mimosa brunches and cocktails by the Chicago River. She also enjoys the city's historic architecture. Mallory clearly loves to travel, as she has taken trips to New Orleans and Paris, in addition to gorgeous beach getaways. When she's not on adventures, Mallory is adoring her dog Rosie, whom she probably doesn't give any wine, unlike Love Is Blind's Jessica Batten.

Love Is Blind 2's Mallory Zapata's Instagram
Mallory's Instagram shows her out and about all over Chicago, and lets followers know that she's a huge White Sox and Chicago Bulls fan. Her love of basketball even led her to get a photo with former Bulls player Joakim Noah at an event for the Noah's Arc Foundation non-profit. Mallory wrote, "If you know me, you know I'm a sports fanatic, and basketball is my first love" and "I love how he still gives back to Chicago even though he's not here anymore."
Her Instagram also shows her cast photo for Love Is Blind season 2. After that, it's all about friends and family. On her parent's fiftieth wedding anniversary, Mallory wrote, "I've seen how beautiful marriage can be but also how much hard work it takes to make it last. They sacrificed so much to give me and my siblings every opportunity possible to be successful in life." Her upbringing taught her what it takes to make a relationship worth having go the long run for life.
Mallory is clearly a highly accomplished woman with a fantastic job, loyal friends and family, a passion for adventure, and a beautiful puppy who makes her world. The only thing missing appears to be a partner in life. Time will tell if Love Is Blind is where Mallory found the one.
