Season 1 of Love Is Blind was a fascinating ride, as the premise was brand new and fans didn't know what would happen. It seemed possible that none of the couples would fall in love or even say "I do" at the altar, but since two couples are still married, it turns out that this social experiment was successful for some.

While the cast members were real, honest, and brave, as they shared their deep emotions and thoughts throughout the whole unique process, there were some things that the cast kept hidden and fans only learned these secrets when filming had wrapped.

Jessica Didn't Want To Remain On The Show

Fans would have been shocked if Jessica Batten and Mark Cuevas had gotten married, but it was even more surprising to learn later on that Jessica wanted to quit the show. Jessica explained that she didn't want to finish out the whole season, but she was told that remaining on the series was the only thing that she could do.

It would definitely have been shocking if Jessica had quit halfway through the season, and it's interesting to imagine what the show would have been like, as the Jessica and Mark drama made for some compelling episodes.

Amber Was In $20,000 Of Debt

Fans debated Amber Pike and Matt Barnett, and it was not always smooth sailing in this relationship. In one memorable scene, Amber let Barnett know that she was $20,000 in debt and that she hadn't been paying off her student loans. In the Netflix special After The Altar, fans found out that Barnett sold his house and he and Amber were living in her apartment so he could pay her loans.

It made sense that Amber didn't tell Barnett about her debt right away, as money can be tough to talk about, especially in this kind of unique setting. Barnett was concerned but supportive.

Mark Dated People Other Than Jessica During Filming

Fans later found out that Mark was cheating as he was dating other people while filming season 1. When Jessica was told that Mark had been dating several people, she said that she was aware that there was one person, not many.

This is huge news, as Mark always told Jessica that he didn't worry about their age difference, and he always said that he was fully in their relationship and wanted to make it to the altar. It did seem like he really cared about her and wanted to make this commitment.

Someone Else Liked Jessica In The Pods

The Love Is Blind creator and producer Chris Coelen said that someone else liked Jessica: according to Metro, he said, ‘Taylor Lupton, that guy who talks about being a virgin early on, he actually had a strong connection with Jessica. But ultimately she really zeroed in on being interested in Barnett and Mark."

While Jessica had embarrassing Love Is Blind moments, she was genuinely looking for love and while she didn't find it with Barnett or Mark, it's interesting to hear that she might have been drawn to someone else. Fans didn't get to see this pod date.

Kelly And Kenny Agreed Not To Get Married

Love Is Blind fans though that Kenny Barnes and Kelly Chase were adorable, and Kelly called him her best friend on the series, which suggested that there was some hope that they would end up together.

The couple didn't tie the knot on the show, and it turns out that there was more to the story. Kenny said that he and Kelly weren't going to get married and they had made this decision together ahead of time. This was surprising to hear, since it seemed like he was confused when she said that she couldn't marry him.

Amber And Barnett/Lauren And Cameron's Marriages

The Love Is Blind cast followed rules, and that meant keeping the entire show a total secret until it began streaming on Netflix in early 2020.

Amber and Barnett couldn't publicly share that they had gotten married, and Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton couldn't either, since that would have spoiled the whole premise of this brand new concept. This must have been tough and strange, as it was such an exciting moment in their lives, but this secret does make sense.

Kelly And Jessica Knew One Another

The women and men were separated on Love Is Blind, and they got to know each other, talking about which dates they had been on and who they were most interested in. It seemed like everyone was a total stranger, but it turned out that Kelly and Jessica knew each other for a decade.

Fans were definitely surprised to learn this fact, although it's logical why it wasn't mentioned, as there might not have been a good time during season 1 to bring it up.

Jessica's Dog Had A Health Crisis

Viewers kept talking about Jessica giving her dog some red wine, but there was something else going on with her dog during the filming of season 1. After the show had aired and people were discussing her time in the pods and afterward, Jessica also explained that her dog had surgery after eating a stick.

Jessica explained that while people saw her arguing with Mark and wondering about their age gap, she was deeply concerned about her dog and it was a really awful time.

Barnett Had Student Loan Debt As Well

According to Entertainment Weekly, Barnett also had some student loans that he had to pay off, a fact that wasn't part of the show. As he told the publication, "When I was on the show, I think I had almost $30,000 in student debt." Amber said that was higher than her debt, and her debt is what was talked about on the show.

While there were many Love Is Blind: After The Altar updates, fans didn't learn about Barnett's finances during this Netflix special, making this a big surprise.

Another Couple Got Engaged

While fans did see several couples celebrate their engagements and go to Mexico, another couple got engaged in season 1. Rory Newbrough and Danielle Drouin's love story didn't end up on the reality series, however.

As it turns out, Danielle dated both Rory and Matt Thomas, as she and Rory decided that things weren't working out and then she began dating Matt, who starred on the reality show with. It's fascinating to learn that there was a lot more going on behind the scenes of Love Is Blind than fans knew about.
