In this day and age, popularity among certain celebrities can be defined by social media reach. Such is the case with reality TV show stars, some of whom start with thousands of followers (or more) and others who amass such large numbers after appearing on their respective shows.
When it comes to Love is Blind, some of the cast had social media followings before the show, but in some cases, it was clear an account was opened recently. Whatever the case, the ones from season 2 with the most Instagram followers might be surprising. Note these numbers are averages and will likely continue to climb as new episodes of the season are released.
Nick Thompson – 6.3K Followers
Nick talked a lot about his dog on the show, and indeed, his Instagram is filled with photos of him with his furry friend as well as photos of his dog on its own doing everything from playing in the snow to chilling on the couch.
He also posts photos with family and friends, vacation pics, and more. The resident "nice guy" on the show also promotes his desire for "no GMOs" in his profile, something Nick mentioned to Danielle in Mexico when revealing that he makes his toothpaste.
Salvador Perez – 8.3K Followers
Another "nice guy" on the show and one of the most likable cast members on Love is Blind season 2, Salvador is relatively new to Instagram, with only 24 posts, mostly featuring friends and family. He does, however, follow more than 500 accounts.
Salvador won the hearts of fans with his beautiful singing voice and sweet demeanor. This is reflected on his Instagram, with plenty of happy and smiling photos as he attends events and enjoys the company of others. One of the main couples on the show, fans are excited to find out if he and Mallory make it official.
Abhishek "Shake" Chatterjee – 8.8K Followers
Shake revealed that he is an animal lover and a veterinarian and expressed to Deepti that he had a desire to start his clinic. While he initially didn't come across as the nicest guy, fans warmed to him when he owned up to his behavior and tried to become a better person.
With 155 posts to date, Shake heavily promotes the show on Instagram and, not surprisingly, posts several photos of himself with various animals. He's also a fan of funny memes.
Kyle Abrams – 9.4K Followers
Kyle has amassed an impressive number of followers given that he only has 176 posts to date. Also promoting his TikTok account via his Instagram profile, Kyle's posts include plenty of adventurous ones, many beautifully composed.
Fans are on the fence about Kyle, both rooting for him but also wishing he wouldn't pursue Shaina as hard as he is knowing about their fundamental religious differences and her feelings for Shayne. Similar to how saying yes to Mark's proposal was one of the things Jessica from Love is Blind season 1 will never live down, Kyle still pursuing Shaina after knowing she has feelings for Shayne would be a big mistake.
Jarrette Jones – 10.5K Followers
Jarrette found himself in a precarious position when he felt strongly about two women. When he broached the topic of proposing to Mallory and she revealed she felt more strongly about someone else, he decided to propose to Iyanna instead. He was open and upfront, however, about how he had felt very strongly about Mallory as well and was going back and forth between the two.
On his Instagram, Jarrette lists himself as a podcast host, investor, barber, and sneaker dealer, just as he explained during his conversations in the pods on the show. He features a lot of self photos on his profile as well as videos.
Shayne Jansen – 10.8K Followers
Lively and outgoing, Shayne is the typical "guy's guy" on the show, full of life and excited to get out and enjoy it. He encountered some drama on the show when he fell for two women and, after deciding he would propose to Natalie, Shaina revealed that she had deep feelings for him.
He also seems relatively new to Instagram with only 32 posts to date, though he follows more than 700 accounts. Noting his occupation in real estate in his profile, he posts a variety of current and throwback photos, many of them shirtless. He also sports a longer hairdo in many of them.
Deepti Vampati – 11K Followers
Deepti has been posting on Instagram for some time, with close to 350 posts. A world traveler, she has photos from a variety of places she has visited, including Banff, Alberta, Canada, Hawaii, Singapore, and India.
Featuring a variety of posed photos on her account, her bubbly and outgoing personality shines through via her account. She also posts several scenic photos from a variety of destinations and throws in an inspirational quote or two every few posts for good measure.
Danielle Ruhl – 11.8K Followers
The first to get engaged on the show, Danielle instantly clicked with Nick and he with her - they knew they wanted to be with one another. It's bonds like theirs that make Love is Blind one of the best reality dating shows. Open about her insecurities and her past on the show, Danielle has been somewhat active on Instagram with 143 posts.
She has tons of posed photos, both on her own and with others. Plenty of her photos feature beaches and stylish outfits, and a few are of her with a cute pup, suggesting she'll get along just fine with Nick's best friend.
Mallory Zapata – 12.1K Followers
A fan favorite on the show, it's no surprise that Mallory ranks near the top when it comes to Instagram followers. She also only has 177 posts to date. Describing herself as a mom to her dog Rosie and a youth advocate in her profile, Mallory posts a mix of photos with friends and family, posed photos while out and about, and scenic images.
Mallory found herself capturing the attention of two men, but ultimately chose Salvador. While she was broken up about hurting Jarrette and torn knowing that he was more like other guys she has dated, her relationship with Sal may have the chance to blossom.
Shaina Hurley – 12.5K Followers
While she might not be a fan favorite on Love is Blind season 2, being set up to look like the villain, Shaina is quite popular on Instagram. She is also new to the platform with only 35 posts to date.
The woman who fell in love with Shayne but didn't tell him until it was too late has had one of the most tumultuous relationships on the show thus far. She agreed to marry Kyle despite her reluctance then abandoned him in Mexico. She posts plenty of posed images on Instagram doing everything from eating to drinking, enjoying the outdoors, and even riding a horse.
Iyanna McNeely – 14.2K Followers
With only 21 posts so far, Iyanna is new to Instagram, yet she has amassed a healthy number of followers since making her appearance on the show. Describing herself in her profile as "exceptionally adaptable," she proved this when she decided to accept Jarrette's proposal even after knowing he was interested in proposing to someone else as well.
Iyanna sports a much longer hairdo in the photos on her profile than she does on the show and showcases a side of her beyond her self-professed introverted personality.
Natalie Lee – 15K Followers
Vivacious, witty, and even a bit snarky, Natalie has fans wondering whether she's one to root for or not. While she has obvious chemistry with Shayne, she also constantly delivers playful but insulting jabs, even after he made it clear he doesn't like it.
Their future remains uncertain, but despite that, she is the cast member fans want to know the most about. Despite only having 40 posts to date, Natalie has the most Instagram followers of all the cast. With plenty of posed beach photos, selfies, and travel, an eye-catching image on her profile is that of a ferocious lion. While Natalie's number of followers still lags far behind that of Lauren who has the most followers from season 1 of Love is Blind at over 2 million, chances are that she, along with the other cast members, will continue to see their followers' numbers soar as the new episodes air.
