Garrett from ‘Love Is Blind’ season 7 had a major glow-up, convincing fans he and Taylor got married — but she’s playing coy

• “Love Is Blind” season seven features singles from the Washington, DC area.
• Taylor and Garrett are one of the couples who get engaged and make it out of the pods.
• It’s not clear if they’re still together right now, but the show is approaching their wedding.

“Love Is Blind” is back — and this time, it’s tackling the famously difficult Washington, DC dating scene.

Luckily, some participants were able to find love in the pods. Taylor, a 30-year-old clean energy policy consultant, and Garrett, a 33-year-old physicist, became one of this season’s most compelling couples after hitting it off in episode one. Drawn by their similar backgrounds, they hit it off early in the pods — and despite some hiccups — manage to stay on track all the way to a proposal.

On TikTok, Taylor has joked about being in the television spotlight as “Love Is Blind” is Netflix’s flagship dating franchise. According to the company’s own engagement data, “Love Is Blind” regularly draws millions of views, meaning that the cast’s dating mishaps are displayed to a staggering global audience.

In one video, she lip-synced to a lyric from Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” while staring herself down in a mirror: “I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherfucker.”

Here’s how Taylor and Garrett get together, and what we know about their relationship today.

Taylor and Garrett bonded over a shared science background in the pods

On their first date in episode one, Taylor and Garrett learn that they share a scientific background. As a bonus coincidence, they also both have science-related tattoos: Taylor has a hydrogen molecule on her wrist tied to her work as a clean energy policy consultant, and Garrett has Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, a nod to a quantum mechanics concept, on his arm.

On another date in episode one, Taylor tells Garrett that she doesn’t want to tell him her mother’s name because it hints at her ethnicity. Garrett replies that he hadn’t thought at all about her ethnicity, but had previously only dated white women.

However, he also says that he has found her to be “calculated” in her communication with him — something he didn’t necessarily think was negative.

“And that’s good feedback to get,” she replies. “Just, like, I guess it’s hard to hear that it comes across, as, like, really calculated.”

The pair moves forward, however, and continues to develop their relationship. In episode two, Taylor reads Garrett a romantic confession that includes a love letter her grandfather once wrote to her grandmother expressing his intent to marry her. In response, Garrett proposes — and Taylor says yes.

The pair meet in person later in the episode. They’re also one of the six couples producers selected to go on a couple’s trip to Mexico. Compared to other pairs, their vacation is relatively drama-free.

In episode seven, Taylor and Garrett visit Garrett’s parents in Fredericksburg, Virginia. While his family has doubts about the speed of the process, the couple reaffirms their commitment to each other. In episodes eight and nine, they discuss moving to San Diego to be closer to Taylor’s family and their parents’ concerns.

In episode 10, Taylor and Garrett run into their first major hiccup when Garrett tells Taylor shortly before a party with the rest of the cast that one of his exes contacted him, and he had liked her message. Taylor makes it clear to him that if women from his past reach out, he needs to tell them that he’s engaged and shut it down.

However, during a conversation at the party with Ashley and Tyler, Garret admits that he hadn’t just liked the message, but he did tell his ex that he was engaged. Taylor is hurt by Garrett leaving out information and he apologizes for his actions. In a confessional, Taylor says that they had stayed up most of the night talking about it, but she wants to put it aside while they travel to San Diego to see her family.

The meeting with Taylor’s family goes well. At a dress shopping appointment in episode 11, Taylor’s mother says that while Garrett didn’t initially strike her as Taylor’s type, she can see how much he loves her. By the end of the episode, Taylor and Garrett both feel confident about their upcoming wedding.

Taylor and Garrett are both posting about the series on social media

A teaser hints at some potential wedding-day drama for Taylor and Garrett.

“I’m not going to say yes unless I mean it, and I mean it forever,” Garrett says in a voice-over during the teaser for the rest of season seven.

As of writing, Garrett still follows Taylor on Instagram. However, it doesn’t appear that she follows him. Garrett liked Taylor’s Instagram post about her cast portrait, but it doesn’t appear that she liked his.

Taylor has posted about the show on TikTok, reacting to a clip of her shooting Garrett down the first time he asked her to be his girlfriend.

After episodes 10 and 11, she also posted a series of photos on Instagram from the costume party. She did not tag Garrett in the photos, and she hasn’t tagged him in other Instagram posts she’s made about the show either.

“Ooof the NEW episodes are tough for me to watch :/ AND I’m in a costume getting upset,” she wrote in the caption. “Talk about insult to injury!”

Garrett has also been active on Instagram and posted a series of behind-the-scenes snaps. Like Taylor, he didn’t tag her in the posts, but he’s reflecting fondly on the show.

His recent appearance — compared to how he looks on the show — has also prompted some viewers to speculate that he and Taylor are still together.

“Garrett’s transformation from show filming to present time makes me think he got married & she got him together,” journalist Nina Parker wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

It’s worth noting, however, that Garrett may have another reason for his new look: He modeled for Stan Clothing at New York Fashion Week in September.

Taylor is playing into the bit, though. She posted a video on TikTok and Instagram showing herself superimposed over a recent photo of Garrett.

“Someone cooked here, but was it me?” she wrote in the caption.

Taylor also addressed Garrett’s glow-up in a recent interview with Glamour, where she played coy about what it meant for their relationship status.

“I think that it really could go either way,” Taylor said. “He could have had a breakup glow-up, or he has a really great lady in his life that could be me, could not be me.”

The “Love Is Blind” season seven finale airs on Wednesday, October 23, on Netflix.
