Where Are Bri and Connor From Love Is Blind Now? A Deep‑Dive Into Their Post‑Pod Trajectory

Brianna “Bri” McNees and Connor Spies were among the most compelling pairings in Season 10 of “Love Is Blind,” a season that delivered its usual cocktail of romance, chaos and sociological case‑study material. Their connection began with a mutual obsession for The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside,” a detail that now reads like foreshadowing for a couple headed straight into their own narrative arc of twists, turns, and emotional side quests. They left the pods engaged, optimistic, and ready to test whether love forged through a wall could survive the fluorescent lighting of real life in Ohio.

And then, two days before their wedding, everything changed.

The reunion on March 11 will give the official verdict, but the digital breadcrumbs scattered across interviews and social media suggest their story didn’t end at the altar. In fact, it may have just started?!

The Journey: From Pod Chemistry to Real‑World Lag

Bri, a senior merchant at Bath & Body Works, and Connor, an account manager affectionately (and somewhat unfortunately) nicknamed the “dumpster king,” built their bond on shared values, emotional fluency, and a mutual appreciation for early‑2000s alt‑rock. But once filming moved from the pods to Columbus, the friction of reality began to show. Bri’s demanding job collided with the show’s accelerated timeline, creating a pressure cooker that even the most stable couples would struggle to navigate. At the same time, she found herself uneasy about Connor’s living situation, which she described on the show as feeling a bit chaotic—something she worried might not translate well into married life.

The emotional noise only grew louder when Chris Fusco, Bri’s former pod connection, resurfaced with a last‑ditch attempt to win her back. He even went so far as to call Connor “submissive,” a comment Bri immediately shut down, but one that added yet another layer of tension to an already overloaded moment.

The real breaking point came during Bri’s dress fitting, where she experienced what she later described as a “gigantic menty b.” She hyperventilated in a corner with her mom, realizing the wedding felt more like a production deadline than a celebration. It was the moment she understood she couldn’t walk into a marriage without absolute clarity.

Bri and Connor: Why They Hit Pause Instead of Play

Unlike some of the franchise’s more explosive implosions, Bri and Connor’s decision to postpone the wedding wasn’t fueled by betrayal or theatrics. It was a rare moment of emotional clarity in a show built on accelerated timelines. Bri approached the wedding with skepticism, wanting to be absolutely certain before making a lifelong commitment. Connor approached it with optimism, trusting the process and the connection they’d built.

When Bri admitted she wasn’t ready to say “I do,” Connor had what he called a “small little panic attack,” but ultimately agreed. He didn’t want to drag her to the altar if she wasn’t fully in it. He even expressed a desire to propose again someday, with the exact ring she described in the pods. It wasn’t a breakup. It was a recalibration.

Are They Still Together? The Evidence Points to “Probably Yes”

Netflix won’t confirm anything until the reunion, but several clues suggest Bri and Connor are still very much in each other’s orbit. They still follow each other on Instagram, which—as of recent observation—indicates they haven’t publicly distanced themselves. Bri has also shared scrapbook‑style behind‑the‑scenes photos that include Connor, a choice that tends to signal ongoing warmth rather than a clean break.

Their interviews only reinforce that impression. Connor has spoken positively about their post‑show dynamic, saying he feels better about their relationship now than he did when they called off the wedding. He even floated the idea of a future proposal, which is not the language of a man who has moved on.

There’s also the matter of paperwork. Public records show they filed for a marriage license in March 2025, though it remains incomplete. They didn’t legally marry—but they got close enough that the documentation exists, a reminder of how seriously they took the process even as they stepped back from the ceremony.

Taken together, the clues paint a picture of a couple who stepped back from the altar not to end things, but to give themselves a fighting chance outside the show’s compressed timeline.

What’s Next?

All eyes are on the Season 10 reunion, where Bri and Connor will finally confirm whether they’re dating, engaged again, or simply two people who learned a lot from an unconventional experiment. If the hints are accurate, they may be one of the franchise’s rare “slow burn” couples—choosing to date at a normal human pace rather than sprint toward a wedding for the sake of television.

Sometimes saying “no” to a wedding is the most honest way to say “yes” to a relationship.
