Another Married Couple From Love Is Blind Bites The Dust
Though contestants Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson ultimately exchanged vows on Season 2 of the hit reality TV show "Love Is Blind," the significant decision didn't come without some hesitation for the two. In a March interview with Access Hollywood, Ruhl candidly shared, "We flip-flopped on this. There was times when I was 100% yes and he was 100% no and for me, it was because all of these emotions that came through during this experience made me realize — do I wait?"
And though the duo had their doubts about marriage, their instant connection and chemistry both on and off-screen seemed promising. At the beginning of August, as depicted in an Instagram post by Ruhl, the couple appeared to be in great spirits at Lollapalooza. But of course, social media doesn't ever tell the full story. Now, Ruhl and Thompson's relationship timeline has been cut shorter than some fans may have expected.
Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson have major relationship news
Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson's romance has come to an end, with Ruhl filing for divorce in mid August, per Page Six. After celebrating their first wedding anniversary in June, it may come as a surprise that the Season 2 contestants have already called it quits. On top of that, in a July Us Weekly article, Ruhl expressed her desires for another wedding reception down the line. She also envisioned a future family with her beau. Ruhl told the outlet, "I can't wait to have kids to embarrass the heck out of both Nick and them. Like, I can't wait. However, we got married really quickly and so it's not anywhere in the [cards for] next two years."
Ruhl and Thompson aren't the only "Love Is Blind" lovebirds to recently put their marriage to rest. There was just one other couple who said "I do" by the end of Season 2 — castmates Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones. This month, McNeely and Jones announced their split in a joint Instagram post. They wrote, "While we have love for each other, our lives are going in different directions, and that's okay. Coming to this decision was far from easy and we will always wish each other the absolute best." C'est la vie.
