Hannah and Nick broke up on ‘Love Is Blind’ — but their explosive exchange at the season 7 reunion brought new drama

In episodes eight and nine, Hannah and Nick meet members of each other’s families. Those meetings generally go well, but tension builds between them as they discuss their post-marriage living arrangements and finances: Nick still lives with his parents, and Hannah worries that he doesn’t know how to manage his money.

In episode 10, Nick tells Hannah that he felt she sometimes acted condescending to him, and he wanted to be treated as an “equal.” She tells him that she’ll treat him as such when he starts “contributing like an equal,” and says that his inability to execute certain day-to-day tasks is frustrating.

The cast party in episode 10 further strains their relationship when Nick reunites with Katie, one of his connections from the pods. During the conversation, Katie says she cut their connection off because she felt he wasn’t mature enough and encourages him to lead with his heart. At the same party, Hannah tells the other women that she feels Nick isn’t responsive to her sexual needs.

Hannah confronts Nick about his conversation with Katie in episode 11. When Nick asks if they’re “mature enough” to have the conversation, Hannah questions him back.

“Are you mature enough, Nick? Because I’ve taught you fucking everything that you fucking know. I’ve turned you into a boy into a fucking man,” Hannah says.

Nick reaffirms his commitment to Hannah and expresses his frustration with her doubting him. Hannah says that she’s ready for bed, and ends the conversation.

Things eventually fall apart later in that episode, after Hannah introduces Nick to her friends and learns that they don’t like him.

“I feel like I’m teaching him how to love, teaching him how to be in a relationship,” she tells her mother during a conversation that episode. “And that’s not very fair to me.”

She doesn’t go dress shopping with the other engaged women — at that point Taylor, Marissa, and Ashley — and eventually breaks off her relationship with Nick. During the conversation, she tells Nick that she still had many of the reservations about him that she had during their vacation in Mexico. Ultimately, she says that their relationship isn’t going to work.

“I was willing to give it my all to the last possible second, and then make that decision. But she felt that if she kept going, I would say no at the altar,” Nick says in a confessional. “I would never have done that. I didn’t come this far just to come this far.”

Hannah and Nick have reflected on their actions on the show — but another ‘Love Is Blind’ contestant says Nick pursued her

In the wake of the season seven reunion, it appears that Hannah and Nick no longer follow each other on Instagram.

While season seven was airing, Hannah reacted to moments from the series on TikTok, saying that she was putting herself in “a well-deserved timeout” after the first batch of episodes premiered. She also showed herself cringing at her “I turned you from a boy into a man” comment to Nick. She also posted a tutorial on how to boil water, seemingly referencing Nick asking her how to do so on the show.

Nick reacted to moments from the show as well — well, mostly his duck-riding moment from episode five.

Hannah told People that while she didn’t regret what she had said to Nick, she felt that she could have delivered some of her remarks better.

“The way I acted was very cruel and it was very demeaning towards him,” she said. “I wish I didn’t do it in that way.”

She also told Vulture that she felt she lacked “emotional maturity” while filming the season, and said that Katie had been able to deliver feedback to Nick in “the right way” compared to what Hannah told him.

Nick told Entertainment Weekly that he wished Hannah would have “given me a little more grace” on the series. He also said that he was “fully committed” to their relationship when she broke it off.

“We both were really invested in the relationship, and I wanted to try and get to the point where she was and use every moment with her,” he said. “Unfortunately it didn’t work out, but looking back on it, maybe it was for the best.”

Nick may be pursuing other connections now. On Thursday’s episode of “The Viall Files,” season four “Love Is Blind” cast member Micah Lussier said that Nick had messaged her on Instagram about a month prior (to be clear, that’s long after his relationship with Hannah ended in 2023).

Lussier said on the podcast that her assistants typically filter through her Instagram messages, but she realized they had missed a month-old message from a verified account — Nick’s.

“He slid in my DMs. He was like ‘I’ve had the biggest crush on you for so long,'” Lussier said.

“I was like, ‘I could have aired this man out,'” Lussier said. “I mean, he seems like a great guy.”

Lussier hadn’t replied to Nick’s message yet, but said that she wasn’t interested. “I think I’ll just reply out of like, ‘You shot your shot, good for you,'” she said.

Nick did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent via Instagram.

Hannah and Nick clashed at the season seven reunion

Lussier may not have been the only woman Nick reached out to after the show. Hannah said at the reunion that she had heard from a woman who said that Nick had offered to fly her out for the reunion.

“What are you talking about?” Nick replied.

When Hannah said that she had heard from other women whom Nick had contacted, he replied, “Okay.”

The couple had a tense exchange at the reunion that involved several other contestants. At first, things were amiable, and Hannah said she needed “to chill sometimes” while filming. However, she said that she still stood by her comments, even if the delivery wasn’t perfect.

Nick said that he respected Hannah sticking to her remarks, but said that he was “confused” by some of the things that Hannah said about him on the show. Still, he thought that Hannah was “getting way too much hate online” after the show started airing.

In return, Hannah questioned why he had liked negative comments about her on social media, and questioned his motivations for coming on the show. Hannah said that after she and Nick broke up, her friends were helping her pack up and encouraged her to go through Nick’s belongings. In the process, Hannah found his work notebook with a list of goals dated two weeks before they entered the pods. The third goal, she said, was to “be the most famous person ever on ‘Love Is Blind.'”

Nick said that he had written the goals three months prior to the day they were dated, and that he hadn’t been cast on the show at the time that he wrote them.

“I would never sit there on camera and say I love you 100 times to someone if I didn’t mean it. I was super genuine,” Nick said.

Hannah also confronted Nick after hearing from other members of the cast that he had spoken ill about her appearance — specifically, that he called her a “grenade.” Nick denied the “grenade” comment, but said that he was “underwhelmed” when he first saw Hannah.

Hannah also cleared the air with Katie after the cast watched a clip of Nick and Hannah’s argument after the cast party. During the argument, Hannah said that she wasn’t certain if she trusted Katie speaking to Nick. But at the reunion, she said that she had made the comment in the heat of the moment, and that she did trust Katie.
