Season 7 of Love Is Blind introduced Marissa George, who connected with two men in the pods before choosing Ramses Prashad. Ramses proposed, and Marissa happily accepted. Their chemistry made them one of the show’s strongest couples in Mexico, with both claiming they were on the path to marriage.
But things changed when they returned to reality, and Ramses had a sudden change of heart. Just before they were set to tie the knot, he pulled back, saying he felt they needed more than love to sustain a marriage.
Marissa was left shocked by Ramses’ decision and struggled to understand what went wrong. Ramses expressed his doubts about whether he could handle Marissa’s energetic personality long-term, a revelation that hurt her deeply. Fans shared in her heartbreak as they watched the emotional finale, where she openly expressed her pain.
In the reunion episode, Marissa reflected on her experience and the pain she felt from Ramses’ last-minute change of heart. She got emotional while discussing the breakup and the disappointment of not finding lasting love on the show. But she also hinted that her journey didn’t end there—she had found someone new who appreciated her for who she is.

Marissa surprised fans by announcing that she was dating someone new. She told Us Weekly, “I’m currently dating someone right now, and he has those qualities that Ramses didn’t have for our relationship.”
On November 2, Marissa shared her new relationship publicly in an Instagram post where she appeared with her boyfriend in a Halloween costume. Her caption reflected her excitement: “Life has a funny way of surprising you. I never expected to fall in love again, let alone with someone who embraces all my energy and flaws.”

However, Marissa needed time to work through her emotions from her breakup with Ramses, so they took a short break but remained friends. They reconnected and officially started dating again in April.
A Supportive Relationship Built on Understanding

She described her new relationship as “going very well,” appreciating how her boyfriend embraced her personality without hesitation. So far, she has chosen to keep her boyfriend’s name and identity private, not tagging him on social media or sharing many personal details about him.
Embracing a Brighter Future
