Love Is Blind star is engaged following season two split
She found love after appearing on the dating show
Last updated 16th Mar 2022
Love Is Blind fans were thrilled to get a second season of the hit show and to meet the new couples looking for love. We got to know Shaina Hurley as she explored her connections with Kyle Abrams and Shayne Jansen, and it turns out that although she didn't find love on the show she has found her match outside of the pods!
In the reunion episode which aired on 4th March, Shaina revealed that she was in a relationship and it has now been revealed that boyfriend Christos Lardakis proposed to her on 10th March.
Shaina went Instagram-official with Christos this week, sharing photos of the two of them on holiday together, with the caption: 'My ride or die forever ♾ ❤️🔥 ✞'
According to People, they plan on getting married in Greece this summer. While Shaina has not publically addressed the reports, People shared a photo of the pair cuddled up together with Shaina wearing an engagement ring.
While on the Netflix show, Shaina got engaged to Kyle, but while on their honeymoon in Mexico decided they were too different. When the pair got back to Chicago she ended the engagement.
Kyle has since been rumoured to be dating another singleton from the show. He and Deepti Vempati have been seen out together and after Kyle admitted at the reunion that he should've proposed to Deepti in the pods, fans are suspicious that the pair are dating.
However, Deepti has denied that their relationship is romantic. She said: "He's my best friend, biggest support system, and I am grateful for him and the rest of the cast for supporting me. I don't know about anything more at this stage because we're just good friends."
