SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t seen the first nine episodes of season 6 of Love Is Blind, proceed with caution.
Love might be blind, but it doesn’t always make it in the real world. One particularly sweet pairing on season 6 of Love Is Blind was Brittany Mills, 25, and Ken Gorham, 26, a senior client partner and a middle school principal who bonded over their shared values and religious beliefs.
Knowing that they come from different races and backgrounds, the couple seemed undaunted as they moved forward and Ken popped the question to Brittany in the pods.
“I have no doubt in my mind that you are the one who I’m supposed to be with,” Ken declared. “When you speak, you immediately draw me in. When you laugh, I feel safe and secure.”
Brittany tearfully shared she doesn’t think she’s ever felt “so safe” in a relationship or “so loved.”
When they finally came face-to-face, their chemistry only seemed to intensify. Ken thanked the Lord, declaring, “God is good!” and Brittany confirmed that she liked her man’s long hair.
“I don’t believe it would have mattered what he looked like, but, he is very handsome,” Brittany confirmed in her confessional interview.
They then traveled on their romantic group getaway, and while the connection still seemed to be there, some concerns were raised. AD talked to Ken about the racial differences, questioning whether Brittany would be able to raise a Black child.
But in the new set of episodes, this once-perfect pairing falls apart once they return to the real world in Charlotte, North Carolina. Kenneth is shown on his phone numerous times while Brittany seems to be trying to connect with her man.
Finally, Brittany tells her fiancé that she no longer feels the “crave” for him that she once had. The two amicably decide to go their separate ways.
ET spoke with Kenneth and Brittany separately after their split, and the two exes are still great friends.
“We actually decided the night that we ended our intimate relationship that we would actually remain friends,” Brittany tells 360aproko. “Although we did drift apart, we learned so much. And I think I can speak for both of us, we’re so thankful for the process and how it went and how it was handled.”
“We’re still super close because we just have a larger understanding of who we are,” Kenneth adds.
New episodes of Love Is Blind drop Wednesday, Feb. 28 on Netflix.
