Divorced

Iyanna and Jarrette are one couple who did decide to marry on Love is Blind season 2. However, they filed for divorce in September 2022. People reported irreconcilable differences as the reason why Iyanna filed for divorce after sticking it out with Jarrette for months post-filming.

Before that, the duo tried to fix their relationship via couples counseling. Danielle has not shared a new love interest on Instagram, though she still hangs out with her fellow Love is Blind cast members.

Despite initially keeping quiet about the reasons, Danielle clarified that their split was amicable and not due to infidelity. She admitted the divorce process was stressful and attributed their breakup to personality clashes rather than any specific incident.

Despite the challenges, they're grateful for the experience the show provided.

However, the couple announced their breakup three days later amid accusations of clout chasing from Shake. Shake later apologized to Deepti, though his sincerity was doubted.

He seems to have redeemed himself over the years, but his treatment of Deepti will never be forgotten. Happily, Deepti has long since moved on past Shake.
