Spoilers for all of Love is Blind season 9, including the reunion, ahead. Watching the first episode of Love is Blind season 9, you might not see a relationship between Jordan Keltner and Megan Welarius coming. Sure, there’s a connection between the two—though it appears somewhat lackluster for a woman who introduces herself to the camera and men as “Sparkle Meg.” Not to mention, for the first two or so episodes of the Denver, Colorado-set season of the hit Netflix reality show, Jordan’s just one of three connections for Megan—and he’s not even the frontrunner out of that trio. By the end of the first six episodes of Love Is Blind, which hit streaming on October 1, it’s hard to fathom a show without the couple. The pair’s love story is unconventional to say the least, so we’re breaking down Jordan and Megan’s relationship on Love Is Blind season 9—and whether they might still be together after filming.

What happens between Jordan and Megan in the pods on 'Love Is Blind' season 9?
If Edmond Harvey and Kalybria Haskin are the instant chemistry of Love Is Blind season 9, then Jordan and Megan bring the slow burn. In fact, much of the first six episodes weave a story around Megan. As she shares on the show, the 34-year-old is a striving entrepreneur with a taste for all that glitters, so much so that her friends call her “Sparkle Meg”—a fact she repeatedly tells all her dates the first day in the pods. But while her aesthetic sparkles, her general demeanor stays relatively low-key. She maintains a careful hand and level head when it comes to her emotions throughout her time in the pods, a quality that bodes well for the romantic journey she embarks on.
Megan quickly connects with three men in the pods: single-dad and service manager Jordan (30), real estate investor Mike Brockway (38), and accountant Blake Anderson (34). For the first two episodes, Megan’s desires seem set on Blake, with Mike a close second. She acknowledges she likes Jordan, but her feelings for the other men eclipse what she might feel for Jordan—until she learns Jordan’s son has the same type of diabetes her late father did. The two really bond over this, and, as they continue to grow closer, they discuss what falling in love should feel like. “Falling in love should feel like this,” Jordan says. Something undeniably pulls her to Jordan, but she still expresses reservations that their lifestyles wouldn’t match. Throughout all of this, her frontrunner remains Blake. Right when she’s considering breaking it off with Jordan, Blake abruptly leaves the experiment in a moment of what Megan interprets as divine intervention from her dad. Megan swiftly redirects her attention to her remaining connections.
At first, Mike seems the most obvious next choice. They both come from similar entrepreneurial backgrounds. He’s suave, older, and Megan labels him the exact sort of man she would normally date. But something holds her back, and she expresses that she can’t help wondering if her late father brought Jordan (and inevitably his son) into her life.
The couple seemingly experienced love at first sight before their proposal.
Do Jordan and Megan get engaged on 'Love Is Blind' season 9?
Megan navigates the push of Mike and pull of Jordan with remarkable emotional deftness and measured vulnerability. Where other Love Is Blind participants might become paralyzed by how overwhelmed they feel, or immediately express what they're feeling without thinking about the future consequences—as several this season do—Megan remains steady. She measures her words, but still maintains an open vulnerability and communication while carefully sifting through her feelings. Ultimately, the entrepreneur breaks up with Mike and chooses Jordan. She does express nerves leading up to their engagement, due to parting words from Mike that cast doubt on Jordan. Her worries disappear the minute the doors slide open to reveal Megan and Jordan to each other, and it truly seems like it’s love at first sight for the two.
The chemistry continues when the duo ventures to Baja, Mexico with the rest of the engaged couples. But then the pool party happens: After a bit too many drinks and some awkward, stilted banter at the bar with other cast members, Megan grows annoyed with Jordan’s drunken immaturity. “You’re annoying me,” she bluntly says, prompting him to sober up. When they return to their hotel room, the two share a productive conversation about communication and being there for each other, and the issue seems mostly resolved. Later, though, Jordan does share with the men that he found Megan’s bluntness a little abrasive. This only marks the beginning of Megan and Jordan learning each other outside of the pods, slowly working out how—and if—the puzzle pieces of their lives will fit together in time to walk down the aisle.
Jordan and Megan had their first major disagreement when they traveled to Baja, Mexico.
As the two move into their new apartment towards the end of episode seven, Megan grows understandably overwhelmed by the “unknowns”—stressed out thinking about how their lives will work, and the specifics of how she’ll meet Jordan’s son Luca. The two talk, and Megan visibly relaxes at Jordan’s words.
The couple takes a major step together in episode eight when Jordan meets Megan’s mom, Jayne, and sister Jessica over lunch to commemorate the anniversary of her father’s death. A lot happens during this lunch. In particular, the invisible string Jordan and Megan seem to think connects them tugs again when Jessica describes a dream she had in which their father seemingly referenced Luca. To the camera, Jayne and Jessica both express how “pleasantly surprised” they are by Megan’s new fiancé. Jessica even recounts the story of how her mother and father met, a tale that oddly echoes what their daughter would experience in the years to come. “I still remember him telling the story of the elevator doors parting and my mom being in the elevator,” Jessica says through tears. “And how he knew at first sight that that was who he was going to marry.”
Jordan and Megan back in Denver.
The momentum continues into episode nine, when Jordan and Megan tour a house the entrepreneur is considering purchasing. The house’s size and cost lead to a conversation regarding Jordan and Megan’s disparate finances, which they’d been tiptoeing around. While Jordan accepts Megan’s status as the breadwinner, he struggles to find where he and his son fit into it and how he can provide for her.
The issues plaguing their relationship don’t stem from whether they care for the other, but rather how their lives do or don’t fit together. Megan doesn’t waver in her decision to accept Jordan’s proposal—not even when witnessing her future husband consume his daily chicken smoothie (you read that right) or meeting her former flame Mike Brockway in person at the Pod Squad reunion in episode nine. The question with Megan and Jordan is never about the strength of their feelings for each other, but whether it’s strong enough outside the bubble of the pods for them to overcome the very real obstacles of their lives.
The couple got the stamp of approval from each other's families.
Episode 10 introduces three very important people to Megan: Jordan’s parents, Kip and Zann, and his son, Luca. Everything goes swimmingly with Kip and Zann, and they happily give their blessing. Megan’s meeting with Luca occurs off-camera, though she later gushes to the other engaged women at the wedding dress fitting that the arcade day and movie night went well and that Luca is a great kid.
Things start on a high note in episode 11 with a tarot reader telling Megan and Jordan they’re “soulmates.” As the episode progresses, though, the strain on Megan and Jordan’s invisible string becomes apparent. Jordan grows noticeably less talkative on dates. Megan gets visibly frustrated by how it feels like she’s talking to a wall sometimes—except, unlike in the pods, an energetic, jovial Jordan doesn’t sit on the other side, ready to talk about everything and anything with her.
One of the more intense conversations between the two.
Their communication and lifestyle issues come to a head in the last 10 minutes of the episode, and they finally start to communicate every seed of frustration or anxiety they’ve planted throughout the show thus far. They discuss how Megan wants more energy and engagement from Jordan, as he had in the pods, but the demands of Jordan’s life, with a job and a kid, sometimes mean he’s low energy. He mentions how Megan’s blunt communication can come off as abrasive, and how he doesn’t know how to support her when she’s the breadwinner. Perhaps most notably, they dissect how Megan wants to add Jordan to the colorful, sparkling life she’s built for herself, but how Jordan doesn’t want him and Luca to hold her back from living it.
It’s a hard conversation to watch, not because they’re angry or yelling at each other. They both clearly want to make this work. You can see them both dancing so close to meeting the other somewhere in the middle, and yet they’ve also never seemed further apart. Megan’s clearly articulating the big and small ways Jordan can show up for her, yet none of it seems to click with him. Meanwhile, Jordan’s afraid to show Megan the nitty-gritty of his life as a single dad, as if hyper-aware of what he already doesn’t bring to the table and therefore anxious about burdening her.
In episode 10, Megan told Jordan’s parents it would take something “catastrophic” for her not to marry him. While this argument doesn’t feel cataclysmic, it is something of a reckoning for the two and the inevitable fork in the road. With just a few days left until the altar and no pods to escape to, they can no longer run from it. Either they work past it and get married, or they break up because their puzzle pieces just don’t fit—no matter how much they care for each other.
Jordan and Megan ultimately couldn't make it work to say "yes" at the altar.
Do Jordan and Megan get married on 'Love Is Blind' season 9?
Jordan and Megan are the last of the remaining three couples shown in the Love Is Blind season 9 finale, but viewers don't get to see Sparkle Megan in her wedding dress. Instead, the couple meets up for a break-up talk in their apartment, where Megan says she woke up at 4:30 a.m. spiraling about how they're two very different people and live very different lives. Megan expresses that she wants to keep up her "adventurous" lifestyle with a partner, and she never realized how "rigid" Jordan's life is.
"You're very easy to love, and I think initially I leaned into opposites attract, but I just still have reservations. And that's not how I should be feeling going into my wedding, our wedding," she tells him, apologizing through tears for not "accepting [Jordan] the way he needed her to."
In a later confessional , Jordan says that he has gotten closure. "I didn't think we were different at all. I think the only thing is the lifestyle difference. ..I think if I had enough money that I didn't really have to work, I think we would be getting married." When asked if he had any regrets, he answered, "I wish I didn't introduce her to my son."
Meanwhile, Megan admits in her interview that in the pods, she didn't think through how marrying Jordan would be "challenging" and how she'd need to "make a lot of concessions to how [she] currently lives." She's emotional as she adds, "Honestly, this has me questioning if I'm even cut out to be a mom. Maybe I am too caught up in my own life."

Are Megan and Jordan from 'Love Is Blind' season 9 still together?
When Megan and Jordan reunited on Netflix for the Love is Blind season 9 reunion, the now-exes were quite cordial towards each other. Megan admitted that she wished she had given Jordan a bit more grace, while Jordan explained that his regret about introducing Luca to Megan had nothing to do with Megan as a person. It was regret that he had brought his son into the whole Love is Blind ordeal. (This is a good note to make for any single parents thinking of appearing on the show.)
More importantly, Sparkle Megan confirmed that she is now a mom! She welcomed a baby boy named Brooks just two and a half months before the reunion was filmed, and he is her "whole world." According to PEOPLE, the father of her child is Paul Wegman, an automation CEO and Air Force vet who's 11 years her senior. With Paul looking on in the reunion's audience, Megan explained that after filming wrapped in April 2024, she was introduced to him by a mutual friend in July, and they got pregnant three months into dating.
And don't worry, Megan did give Jordan a heads-up about her news ahead of the reunion. He was the only LIB cast member who knew, except for Kacie, and he thanked Megan for the "transparency [and] honesty." As for his dating life, Jordan is currently single and has no plans to introduce anyone new to Luca anytime soon.
