Are Jordan Keltner and Megan Valerius leaving season nine of Love Is Blind a married couple?
When Jordan entered the Love Is Blind dating group as a single parent, his criteria for finding a wife were slightly different from some of the other season nine contestants.
Finding “the one” isn't easy for anyone, but Jordan's experience quickly showed that dating can be even more challenging when you're looking for someone to double as a spouse and stepparent.
As Jordan began talking to Megan, he began imagining their future together and envisioned her as a stepmother to his 5-year-old son, Luca.
After getting to know each other, the singles got engaged and met in person for the first time. What happened when they put their relationship to the test in the real world?
Below, we look back at Jordan and Megan's journey on “Love Is Blind,” which ended with the Oct. 22 finale.
What happened between Jordan and Megan in the pods?
Jordan, a 30-year-old service manager, wasn't so sure about Megan, a 35-year-old entrepreneur, when they first started talking. He was initially put off by her nickname “Sparkle Megan”, but soon learned that she had a deep personality.
Megan and Jordan's bond grew stronger when Jordan opened up about his son Luca. who has type 1 diabetesa condition that Meghan's late father also had.
When Jordan announced that he had previously had a vasectomy following the birth of his son, he assured Meghan that he was willing to call off the surgery if they decided they wanted to have children together.
While Jordan and Megan were getting to know each other, Megan was also involved with two other men—Mike Brockway, a 38-year-old real estate investor, and Blake, a 34-year-old accountant.
After Blake decided to quit the dating experiment, Megan had to choose between Mike and Jordan. Mike tried to convince her that they were a better fit, but she decided to follow her intuition and get engaged to Jordan.
Did Jordan and Megan get married?
In the season nine finale, “Love is Blind,” Jordan and Megan never made it to the altar. During the serious conversation, Meghan told Jordan that they were “two different people” and had major differences in their lifestyles.
Meghan detailed how the men she previously dated had “flexible” schedules and said she still had “reservations” about how compatible they were with Jordan.
Jordan reminded his fiancée how he warned her that life with a child requires order. Unlike Megan, who said she received a windfall after working in the oil and gas industry, Jordan also has to work for a living and can't take money and travel on a whim.
Meghan expressed her love for Jordan but said their relationship “didn't feel right.”
In a confessional interview, Jordan said he regretted introducing Meghan to his son and suggested their financial differences led to the end of their relationship.
“I think if I had enough money and didn't have to work, I think we would get married,” he said.
Jordan went on to say Meghan “doesn't love me for me” and said “this is the closure I need.”
Meanwhile, Meghan reflected on her journey in Love Is Blind and admitted she went into the engagement a little naively.
“In the pods, I was really leaning into him being a single dad and the excitement of it, but I don't think I thought about how difficult it would be and how I would have to make a lot of concessions to the way I live my life now,” she said.
“I mean, maybe I'm just not cut out to be a stepmom. Honestly, it makes me wonder if I'm even cut out to be a mom. Maybe I'm too caught up in my own life.”
