Netflix's Love Is Blind shook up the reality TV universe with its unique premise and large overnight following. Thanks to its focus on cast members getting to know each other before ever seeing their counterparts, viewers got to know the stars of the series very well. From the start, the fans rooted for Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton, worried for Jessica Batten and Mark Cuevas, and watched Amber Pike and Matt Barnett with wide eyes. These stars' Instagram followers reveal which of them have been the most popular since season 1 ended.
Love Is Blind made it impossible for contestants to focus on attraction or looks when trying to find their match. Each pair sat in isolated pods and talked to one another through a thin wall. Lauren Speed was the first to prove that this premise could work when she told Cameron Hamilton that she loved him before she ever saw him. Cameron said it back, and things only got sweeter for the couple once they finally saw each other. Other couples, however, faced challenges when their partners were revealed. For instance, Jessica seemed to be much more attracted to Barnett than she liked Mark. All things considered, these contestants' popularity on Instagram reflects how the viewers felt about them on the show.
Giannina Gibelli (1.7 million followers)
Giannina has kept fans guessing on her relationship status with Damien. Even though he broke up with her at the altar, the couple got back together after the season aired. Overall, Giannina's Instagram profile is the most influencer-esque out of anyone in the cast of Love is Blind, which could explain her 1.7 million followers. She is a Savage x Fenty ambassador and often tags brands in her posts. When it comes to her love life, Giannina hasn't posted a picture of Damien in a while, but they do still comment on each other's photos on a regular basis. Giannina's tumultuous relationship on the show, along with her beautiful photos and mysterious dating status, definitely explain why she has so many followers on Instagram.
Cameron Hamilton (1.8 million followers)
Cameron Hamilton was loved by the fans for his sweet and supportive nature, as well as for the way how he treated Lauren Speed as a potential partner. He and Lauren had realistic conversations about what their life together would look like, including how Cameron could support Lauren as a Black woman if they were to have an interracial relationship. The viewers all went weak in their knees when Cameron showed Lauren his home and called it "our home." His popularity on the show transferred to Instagram, where he has 1.8 million followers. He recently announced that he and Lauren wrote a book about their journey on Love is Blind called "Leap of Faith." As a data science consultant, his followers also get investment and career tips as a bonus.
Lauren Speed Hamilton (2.3 million followers)
At 2.3 million followers, Lauren Speed Hamilton is the most popular star of Love is Blind on Instagram. Fans loved her on the show because she was down-to-earth, authentic, and open to finding love. She struggled at first with how much affection Cameron showed her, but she evidently got over it since she's now married to her blind date. The couple started a web series called Hanging with the Hamiltons, which follows their everyday life and features lots of jokes and insight into their relationship. Lauren has that "it factor" that viewers can't get enough of, and she's currently set to host a new MTV dating series called Match Me If You Can. This seems like only the beginning of Lauren's career in the media.
Besides Lauren and Cameron, Amber Pike and Matthew Barnett are the only other Love Is Blind couple who got married. They are both very popular on Instagram, as Amber has 1.2 million followers and Barnett has 1.1 million. In turn, Damien Powers has 840,000 IG followers. Mark Cuevas, who is having his first child with his fiancé Aubrey, is not too far behind him with 827,000 followers. The rest of the cast rank as following: Jessica Batten (573,000 followers), Kenny Barnes (496,000 followers), Kelly Chase (408,000 followers), Diamond Jack (226,000 followers), and Carlton Morton (106,000 followers).
