Love Is Blind is back! Season 8 returned with the first six episodes of the Netflix dating show on the oh-so-appropriate Valentine’s Day with a new cast of men and women eager to find their perfect match. Devin Buckley is one of the hopefuls this season and fans are curious to know more about him.
Warning! Potential spoilers for episodes 1 through 6 of Love Is Blind season 8 ahead.
Who Is ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 8 Star Devin Buckley?
Devin is a self-described “sneakerhead” who works as a youth director and coach in Minnesota. According to his official bio, Devin “built his own basketball training business and mentoring program to help kids reach their goals.” He also works as a high school basketball coach and prefers a quiet night at home versus going out to the bars in town.
Devin wants to meet a woman who “supports him from the sidelines during big games and in the kitchen every night as his sous chef.”
“I would love to just be at home listening to music, partying and dancing,” Devin explained in his Love Is Blind bio. “And then cooking together before enjoying a meal.”
Where to Find Love Is Blind’s Devin Buckley on Instagram
Viewers who want to see what Devin was up to before he made his reality TV debut can find him on Instagram under the username @devbuck3. His love for basketball is clear on his page with several photos of him playing the game. Devin even got a chance to try out for a professional basketball team overseas.
“I was BLESSED with the opportunity to try out to play professional basketball in Germany this past week! It was such an amazing experience!” Devin wrote beside the carousel of pictures on August 20, 2019. “Just want to give a shoutout to my teammates on the tour and Ron Howard for making it happen! The rest is in God’s hands.”
Does Devin Buckley Make Any Connections in ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 8?
Love Is Blind season 8 features 32 singles, but not everyone’s story is followed by the cameras. However, Devin was one of the lucky few who was featured as he made connections during his time in the pods. He bonded with both Virginia Miller and Brittany Dodson early on in the season.
Brittany described herself as a sports lover and her job as a partnership executive has allowed her to work with the NBA, the NFL and the MLB. She and Devin instantly had their love for basketball in common.
On the other hand, Virginia’s kind demeanor seemingly spoke to Devin, and he felt a spark with her as well. By episode 2, Devin admitted he was struggling with choosing between the two women.
“Virginia is just such a kind, loving, genuine person. Every time I speak with her, I feel like I can just lay down and close my eyes and listen to her for hours,” Devin told the cameras during a one-on-one interview. “But between Virginia and Brittany, it’s very even right now.”
