Are Ali & Anton Dating After 'Love Is Blind'? Here's What Happened

What began as an instant connection in the Love Is Blind pods ended in a brutal “I don’t” at the end of Season 9. But, even though Ali Lima wasn’t ready to marry her partner Anton Yarosh, does that mean their entire relationship had to end? The two former fiancés explained how they moved forward after the failed wedding while at Season 9’s reunion. At the start of the Denver season, Ali and Anton seemed like the strongest connection of all. But things hit a wall when Ali started noticing her fiancé drinking more than she expected, and heard his friends say he still frequented strip clubs. These were things that Ali said Anton had not told her about when they were getting to know each other in the pods, and it began to shake her confidence in their partnership. She still stuck things out until the wedding, though, despite her mom frowning on Anton’s drinking habits and Ali’s sister Naiara openly disapproving of the match. Although Anton was quick to say “I do” at the altar, Ali couldn’t ignore her intuition, telling him, “I can’t be your wife.” She explained that the person she fell for in the pods wasn’t matching up with the person she had walked down the aisle with. Ali may not have been ready to spend a lifetime with Anton, but maybe she’d be open to dating him in a less pressure-filled environment. The two came back together at Season 9’s reunion to explain what happened between them after they split in the show’s finale. It sounds like Ali and Anton fully left their relationship at the altar. At the reunion, Ali spoke about feeling like she never got to have any serious conversations with Anton after the pods. And Anton revealed he’s been seeing a new woman named Miranda since filming. “I’ve actually been in a relationship for about a year,” Anton said, calling Miranda “the person I’ve really been needing in my life.” Ali, however, decided to play it coy with her current relationship status: “I appreciate any interest in my personal life at the moment, but I do want to keep it personal.”

'Love Is Blind's Megan Walerius Addresses Dating & Baby Rumors

Megan Walerius is finally revealing what’s going on in her personal life about a year and a half after she ended things with ex-fiancé Jordan Keltner on Love Is Blind Season 9. After the tough breakup aired, in which Megan realized her lifestyle couldn’t coexist with Jordan’s responsibilities as a single father, speculation sprung up that not only had Megan moved on with a new man — she may have also had a baby herself. She didn’t address the rumors at first, but at the Love Is Blind reunion, Megan was forced to explain everything. Throughout Season 9, Megan struggled to break her old habits of dating wealthier, older men and try to go the distance with Jordan, a working father who didn’t share her desire for a large expensive home. Although the bond seemed strong for a while, Megan ultimately broke up with Jordan right before their planned wedding. What’s really caught fans’ attention, though, is Megan’s life after the show. A few days before the Oct. 29 reunion, Megan was photographed with an unidentified man outside her house, who was holding a baby. Eyewitnesses reportedly claimed the man seemed to be living with Megan. The pics caused people to wonder if Megan was in a new relationship, and if she had also become a mother since filming. Megan didn’t clarify the photos immediately, instead posting a message asking for fans to “be kind or be quiet” once they began going viral. It wasn’t until the reunion that Megan revealed her current relationship status... as well as her maternity status. “I am a mom now,” Megan confirmed in the reunion. “I had a baby boy two and a half months ago.” She went on to reveal that her son is named Brooks, and that she had him with her boyfriend Paul, whom she met a couple months after filming Love Is Blind through a mutual friend. The relationship moved quickly, with Megan saying that she got pregnant three months into her relationship with Paul.
