Grab your gold-plated drinkware: The “Love is Blind” reunion arrives Wednesday.
The wildly popular Netflix series dropped a trailer for the reunion episode Monday, teasing all the storylines that have taken the internet by storm, including the fate of Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser’s relationship.
Here’s everything you need to know about the special reunion episode, including who will be there and where to watch.
When is the ‘Love is Blind’ season 7 reunion?
The reunion airs Wednesday, Oct. 30, at 9 p.m. ET.
Hannah, Tyler, Ramses, more set to appear in ‘Love is Blind’ reunion
Monday’s trailer for the reunion episode features all the cast members who got engaged during the show – including Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans, Ashley and Tyler, Hannah Jiles and Nick Dorka, Marissa George and Ramses Prashad, Monica Davis and Stephen Richardson, Tim Godbee and Alex Byrd, and Brittany Wisniewski and Leo Braudy.
Those who said “I do” at the altar appear to be sitting together in the reunion. Taylor has a gold ring on her left ring finger and at another point is seen with a hand on Garrett’s leg. Meanwhile, Ashley and Tyler are also side by side on a loveseat next to hosts Vanessa and Nick Lachey.
The trailer teases several tense conversations between cast members, including rehashing Marissa and Ramses’ breakup, Hannah and Nick’s turbulent relationship, Stephen’s infidelity with Monica and other storylines that attracted lots of internet attention.
Will Tyler’s kids be addressed?
One of the biggest revelations of the season was the fact Tyler has biological children − something that was not revealed to Ashley until shortly before their wedding. Although he said on the show he does not have a relationship with his kids, recent allegations have emerged online that cast doubt on this claim.
Though it’s unclear whether the Lacheys will dig into the nature of Tyler’s relationship with his children, both he and Ashley make statements in the trailer that could indicate a conversation on the topic.
“Who has better insight on what’s going on − social media or me?” Ashley says. Later, Tyler says, “I don’t owe anyone an explanation but Ashley.”

Is ‘Love is Blind’ filming in Cincinnati?
The details surrounding where in Ohio the show will film are not yet determined, but “Love is Blind” is currently casting singles in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus.
Donna Driscoll, head of casting for Kinetic Content (the company behind the show’s production), shared details about Ohio’s casting process with The Enquirer in September. The Buckeye State stood out because until now, they hadn’t searched for cast members in the Midwest. Plus, “Love is Blind” host and 98 Degrees boy band star Nick Lachey is a proud Cincinnati native.
The online application comprises over 60 questions on marriage and commitment readiness, and applicants are encouraged to upload a 15-second video sharing why they’re ready to find love in the pods. Following a successful application, candidates will have a phone interview that takes between 30 minutes and two hours. The next stage in the process involves a virtual Zoom interview with casting producer(s) that can take up to two hours.
The full casting process can take three to six months, Driscoll said. Looking for love? Visit casting.kineticcontent.com/LoveIsBlind/ to apply.
