Meet the Cast of 'Love Is Blind' Season 7

Spoilers for the Love Is Blind season 7 finale ahead. It is a truth universally acknowledged that every U.S. metropolitan area contains a couple dozen single residents willing to subject themselves to reality TV to find the love of their life (and maybe also some new Instagram followers). For Love Is Blind season 7, which premiered on Netflix on October 2, the central city is none other than the nation's capital, with this crop of cast members hailing from Washington, D.C. (and Maryland and Virginia).

As expected for a D.C.-based season, the cast includes multiple former military members, realtors, and scientists, all hoping to find love in the streaming giant's untraditional and controversial "experiment." It also includes LIB's first-ever set of sibling cast members, and an older-than-usual age range, with the participants aged 27 to 37. As usual, several couples made their way to the altar, while others broke up before saying, "I do," throughout the season, which wrapped up on October 23 before a reunion. And in an interesting post-season revelation, Vulture confirmed that two pairs left the pods as couples, but weren't ready to get engaged.

Below, read on to meet the hopefuls looking for love in the Love is Blind season 7 cast.
