'Love Is Blind' Creator Says 'We Aren't the Police' in Defense of Casting


‘Love Is Blind’ creator Chris Coelen breaks down the show’s ‘rigid’ casting process

Terence Patrick/Netflix Love Is Blind participants undergo a thorough and “very rigid vetting process” ahead of the experiment kickoff in the pods, show creator Chris Coelen says, amid criticism surrounding certain conversations not making the final episode cuts. For instance, season 7 star Tyler Francis declined to tell now-wife Ashley Adoniser that he previously donated sperm to help a friend have children until they left the pods engaged. Love Is Blind has filmed eight seasons — the next journey premieres on February 14, 2025, nearly one year after it was taped in Minnesota — and Coelen’s team makes sure to allow contestants some levels of privacy.
