Now that we're all caught up (hopefully) with Love is Blind let's find out where the couples are now.

Who's still together, is Mark still pining over Jessica, and has Giannina taken up running as an official sport?

CAMERON AND LAUREN: STILL TOGETHER

Everyone's OTP (one true pairing) is still together. In an interview with Variety, the online content creator revealed that she is the happiest she has ever been in her life.

On what has kept them together she says: "Our love for each other. We genuinely made a real connection that’s bigger than us being physically attracted to each other. I have never been loved by a man the way that Cameron loves me."

In turn Cameron told the Washington Post that Lauren has made him more bubbly and more expressive.

AMBER AND BARNETT: STILL TOGETHER

Despite Barnett's cold feet at the altar (and Amber's debt) the couple is still married. In fact, the pair are planning a second wedding.

In an interview with Oprah Magazine, Amber said: "I still want to do the bridal showers and the bachelorette parties — all the traditional Southern stuff that we skipped over and rushed through."

Like any relationship they have their ups and downs, but they manage to laugh through it all.

"Even on rough days, we still pop jokes and get over it fast. Our relationship is a lot more fun than you guys could ever even see," said Barnett.

JESSICA AND MARK: NOT TOGETHER

The writing was pretty much on the wall for this couple, however, Mark seemed to be the only one who was surprised when Jessica said no at the altar.

Since the show Jessica took some time for herself, went for therapy and moved to Los Angeles... with her dog.

Mark on the other hand is still her number one fan. The personal trainer told ET Online he is who he is today because of his experiences on the show.

He told Jessica in the video clip, "Whenever you need something don't hesitate to call."

GIANNINA AND DAMIAN: STILL TOGETHER

During the reunion episode Giannina and Damian revealed that they are back together. 

In an interview with The Metro producer Chris Coelen said that the couple "attempted to re-engage".

"There was only one couple that broke it off that has attempted to re-engage and that’s Gigi and Damian. And we’ll see what happens with them. We’ll see," said Chris.

In an interview with Glamour Giannina said that she and Damian are in a good place and that there are no hard feelings, and that she is focusing on herself.

The 26-year-old to E News that she reached out to Damian. 

"And then we just talked it out, and we understood where the other person was coming from, 'cause there were so many beautiful moments, and that's the reason why we're still together now. We just snuck back into our apartment. He snuck us back in, and we like held each other and healed, and we haven't been apart since." 

KENNY AND KELLY: NOT TOGETHER

In a shocking twist that nobody saw coming Kelly left Kenny (and her mother) confused, when she said no at the altar. Also, this was probably the most exciting thing to happen to this couple (jk, jk).

According to E! News Kenny moved to North Carolina while Kelly is still based in Atlanta.

Kelly shared an Instagram post in January alluding that she is still single.

She wrote: "As we begin to love ourselves and bring awareness to why we feel sad, or defeated that we are in our 30s and no one has put a ring on it, we can truly understand that we need to change beliefs, stories, and actions to create a diff outcome. I know boundaries now. I love myself so much that I won’t just be with a guy because I’m lonely."

Just in case any other female needs this today ??. . I felt compelled to share a piece of me with a girl inside the Girls Gotta Eat (podcast) Facebook group as she questioned if anyone else felt defeated if they’re not married/in a relationship/ where they thought they’d be by now in their 30’s... . “It’s all about mindset...I’m 34 and It wasn’t until I was about 31/32 that I realized nothing was changing with my dating life, social life, career... I’d work aggressively m-f, then disconnect on the weekends by binge drinking, prob getting myself into situations that gave me temporary satisfaction, yet left me feeling more alone, and I’d just feel awful every weekend. (Mostly from drinking too much). . I realized if I ever wanted a diff outcome, I’d needed to change my actions. . So I set off on a spiritual journey, finding myself. Took solo trips, spent a lot of weekends by myself reading personal development books, listening to empowering podcasts, connecting with people who were living the lives I dreamed of (in person and on social media), learning how they got to where they are. . As we begin to love OURSELVES and bring awareness to why we feel sad, or defeated that we are in our 30’s and no one has put a ring on it, we can truly understand that we need to change beliefs, stories, and actions to create a diff outcome. . I know boundaries now. I love myself so much that I won’t just be with a guy bc I’m lonely. When we love ourselves fully and completely, we don’t NEED anything or anyone...they come to us by law of attraction. We radiate at a higher frequency and it’s our confidence, fearlessness, self love and self worth that attracts a man in. And we have to remember to keep vibing at a high level when we get into a relationship otherwise the energy falls and he becomes less attracted to you... . And this CAN happen if we aren’t respecting ourselves & our boundaries. . Take yourself on dates, buy yourself flowers, do all the things you want a guy to do for you. You go first. ???” Love YOU first! . And even when you are in a relationship, don’t forget to keep dating yourself then too.??? . #chaselifewithkelly #chaselifetogether #BecomeABetterYou

DIAMOND AND CARLTON: NOT TOGETHER

This couple didn't even make it to the end of the baecation in Mexico, let alone to the altar. After Carlton revealed to Diamond that he is bisexual the pair had an explosive fight - which included a drink in the face and Beyoncé lyrics. They ended things on a sour note. 

In an interview with People Carlton shared that they got back in touch after a year and that they have found common ground. 

"I’m glad that we were able to come to a common ground to still have respect for one another."

Diamond added: "I needed the time to heal. And then also I wanted to make sure I knew what to say and understand where he was coming from."

On whether they could one day be friends Carlton said it would be great but that it would take time. 

"We have a lot of growing, both of us, to do and I am willing to grow. I love growing but I feel like we can at least come now to a medium and be able to sit and now talk because this is a very touchy subject," added Diamond.
