The Love Is Blind Season 11 reunion revealed a surprise rekindling between Michaella Giorgio and Matt, but what exactly happened after cameras stopped rolling?
When viewers completely fell out of love with Michaella and Rob’s “love story,” they soon turned their attention to beekeeper Matt, who was also a potential suitor for the fashion consultant.
The duo reconnected on screen during a mixer later in the season.
However, during the Season 11 reunion, which aired Sunday, Nov. 8, we learned that this connection probably should have never left the friend zone.
“Michaella and I did have a relationship after the experiment ended,” Matt revealed at the reunion.
From Matt’s perspective, the two fell hard… and quickly. They even introduced each other to their respective families.
“Ultimately I did fall in love with you during that time,” the beekeeper continued, “and I’m sorry that I’m the one that ended it.”
Meanwhile, Michaella argued that their relationship shouldn’t have “crossed friendship” and called his retelling “exaggerated.”
From her POV, they only dated for a few weeks, and she only met his mom by chance.
And she especially didn’t “love him,” despite professing her love for him while on mushrooms.
Matt and Michaella also both spoke to Netflix’s Tudum, where they expanded further on the drama.
More Tea
According to the outlet, Michaella reached out to Matt roughly six months after filming wrapped.
“He’s a really nice guy, and I think what drew me to him is that he was the exact opposite of Rob,” she told Tudum.
“I felt like I needed to self-correct a little bit after being so blindsided by what happened with Rob.”
On the other hand, Matt admitted it hurt to hear Michaella recall their time together as something far less meaningful than it was to him.
“Sometimes two people can share the same experience and walk away with two different memories,” he said. “My love for her certainly was real during those times we dated.”
Since taping the reunion, neither has spoken to the other.
