All of the Love Is Blind season 8 exes — and the sole married couple — will come face to face during the tell-all reunion.
This post contains spoilers for Love Is Blind season 8.
“The night before the wedding, I saw a note from his ex-girlfriend on his nightstand,” Virginia Miller tearfully said during the official teaser for the reunion.
While the footage cut before Virginia, 34, could explain more, then-fiancé Devin Buckley later claimed that her behavior was “manipulative.”
Devin, 29, and Virginia were one of five couples who got engaged sight unseen in the Love Is Blind pods. After the pair met in person, they appeared to hit it off even more. Devin even agreed to sign a prenuptial agreement that Virginia requested.

We just didn’t get there, and even our sexual relationship, we didn’t get to it. So, I just think we should be all the way there before we decide to spend the rest of our lives together.”

Virginia and Devin weren’t the only couples to break up during season 8. Joey Leveille and Monica Danús, Ben Mezzenga and Sara Carton, as well as Dave Bettenburg and Lauren O’Brien all left the show single. Daniel Hasting and Taylor Haag, meanwhile, were the only pair to tie the knot.
All of the past and present Minnesota-based couples — plus fellow pod participants Madison Errichiello, Alex Brown, Mason Horachek and Meg Fink — returned for the season 8 reunion to rehash the drama. According to the trailer, Madison, 28, even brought “screenshots” to prove one point.
Love Is Blind is currently streaming on Netflix. The reunion drops Sunday, March 9 at 9 p.m. ET.
