'Love Is Blind's Micah And Paul Tried Things Out Again After Filming (2024)

Netflix's mega-popular reality dating show, Love Is Blind, is back with perhaps its most jaw-dropping season yet. The season 4 finale dropped on April 14, and the live reunion hit the streamer two days later, so if you’re looking for drama, love, and hilarious made-for-TV moments, you’re going to want to carve out some extra time for a proper binge-watch.

In case you haven’t watched any of the previous season (and if not—what are you doing!?), the show asks the question: is love really blind? Thirty singles, this time hailing from the Seattle area, enter dating “pods” where they open up their hearts, minds and souls to a potential life partner in a different pod.

Here's the catch: They aren't allowed to see what the other person looks like unless they fall in love and decide to get engaged in the pods, sight unseen. This is truly the stuff made of reality television fans' dreams.

During season 4, the show follows five main couples who make it out of the pods, but only four make it down the aisle. And one couple that has certainly captured attention in the latest season is Micah Lussier, a 27-year-old marketing manager, and Paul Peden, a 29-year-old environmental scientist. If you're curious to know if these two made it work IRL, you're *definitely* not alone. So, let's get into it:

What happened during season 4?

Over the course of their pod dates, these two have what Micah calls a “slow burn." And while some viewers might see this as a lack of chemistry, these two prove that they really are in it for the long haul.

In one sweet scene, Micah tells Paul he has the same name as her father. (Fun fact: Paul’s father and grandfather also share the same name.) Then, they bond over their shared love of Italy, and Paul jokes that they will go to Positano for their honeymoon. Sounds like a match made in pasta heaven to me!

The lovebirds are definitely popular among the other contestants in the pod squad. Paul also hits it off with Amber, a 32-year-old flight attendant. And Micah really connects with Kwame, a 33-year-old sales development manager, who ultimately ends up with a different contestant, Chelsea, a 31-year-old speech language pathologist.

Ultimately, though, Paul and Micah have a major moment in the pods where they decide to go all in with each other, despite their other prospects. They agree to break up with the other people they are dating, which leads to a lot of heartbreak and tears.

They get engaged.

After their respective "breakups," Micah and Paul get engaged in the pods. Our guy Paul prepares a speech, where he compares Micah to the warmth of the sun, and it is truly a sweet moment. When they finally get to meet each other in person, the big reveal goes well, and they definitely seem to have good physical attraction to each other.

Micah and Paul get into some trouble in paradise. When all of the couples get together to meet for the first time in Mexico, it's clear that Micah and Paul have their eyes on other people from the pods. For starters, Micah and Kwame have a pretty flirty conversation. But this is nothing new to the franchise (must I remind you of Shaina and Shayne, and Mallory and Jarette from season 2).

Micah literally tells Kwame she loves him at one point, and all that tension comes to a head after Micah asks Kwame for tequila shots, cheers-ing to a failed proposal. This joke (obviously) does not go over well, and Chelsea, who is engaged to Kwame, storms out of the party.

Paul says "no" at the altar.

As Micah stands at the altar at North Fork Farms in Washington with Paul, the officiant asks for her answer. She defers to Paul. After a long pause, Paul said “I love you, but…” and the rest was history. Micah rushed back down the aisle with tears in her eyes.

They don't end up getting married at the end.

Are they still together?

Nope. Despite all those "I love yous," these two are not together right now. They shared at the reunion that they tried things out one more time after filming stopped, but it just didn't work out.

When asked if they still talk, Micah tells WH that “there was a lot to talk about, a lot to work through,” and that they “both have a lot left in our journey, separately, maybe together.”

One thing is clear, however. She is currently not dating anyone, and has no plans to go on another dating show. “Right now, I'm just working on myself and who knows what the future holds,” she tells WH. “I'm definitely single, so maybe I need something else to help me find my person.”

Micah posted an Instagram shortly after the finale release with the caption, "Listen, I've taken care of myself my entire life. I'll be ok." If that isn't powerful single girl talk, I don't know what is.

Here's to hoping these two both find lasting love in the future!
