Out of the 32 single men and women who were cast in Love Is Blind season 8, only five couples actually left the pods engaged. This included Joey Leveille and Monica Danús, who were the first couple to make things official. Now, fans are wondering if Joey and Monica are still together.
Are ‘Love Is Blind’ Stars Joey and Monica Still Together?
Monica and Joey bonded over their light-hearted senses of humor while they were behind the wall, and it didn’t take long before they fell in love. Joey proposed during episode 2 of Love Is Blind season 8, and Monica was thrilled with the idea of spending the rest of her life with the physician assistant. Both Joey and Monica follow each other on Instagram which hints that they’re still together.
What Happened With Love Is Blind’s Joey and Monica in the Pods?
Joey’s thick Minnesota accent and the fact that he seemed to always be in a good mood was something that clicked with Monica early on in the Love Is Blind pods. Monica ditched her dating apps prior to filming and was keen on finding a man who fit in with her close-knit squad back home.
“Everyone says I give off Golden Retriever vibes,” Joey, who was seeking a partner that honors healthy boundaries and open discussions, told the cameras in episode 1. “But, now I’m ready to show who really Joey is. I’m excited for it.”
During their first meeting, Joey and Monica discovered that they both had a distaste for country music, and he revealed that he could pretty much dance to any song playing in a bar. When he revealed that he could swing dance, it was game over for Monica. She, too, swing danced as a hobby and they joked that they could “crush it” on the dance floor.
Monica also gave viewers some insight as to why she was single when she sat down with the Love Is Blind producers for a one-on-one.
“In my past, nothing has ever worked out and it’s exhausting,” Monica explained. “You have to start over and over and over before you even get a chance to start. I came here to something so drastically different to hopefully give me a chance to start the race.”
Love Is Blind’s Joey Revealed a Medical Condition to Monica
While fans saw Joey and Monica seemingly loving their time together in Honduras after they left the pods in the midseason trailer, it doesn’t look like it’s all playful conversations for them in the future. In one scene, Joey revealed that he had been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
“My OCD … everything’s done in, like, a numbered way,” Joey explained. “How many times I drink something. How many times I will pick something up.”
They also seemed to hit a rough patch when one of Monica’s family members admitted that she wasn’t sold on Joey being the right person for Monica to marry.
“I can see him being a really good actor,” the woman told Monica. “He knows what people want to hear.”
The midseason trailer also showed Monica and Joey standing at the altar in front of a crowd of wedding guests. However, fans will have to wait for the rest of the Love Is Blind season 8 episodes to drop on February 21, 2025, and February 28, 2025, to see if both of them say, “Yes.”
