Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton found love on season 3 of Love Is Blind — but the journey wasn’t always easy.
The PR strategist and the sales executive connected late in the game after Colleen struggled to bond with a handful of other men, including Cole Barnett, who didn’t think she was “deep” enough. While talking to Matt in the pods, however, Colleen slowly got more vulnerable. Matt also shed his layers, opening up about his divorce from his high school sweetheart.
Throughout season 3, Colleen and Matt appeared to be hot and cold. They were faced with multiple conflicts before their wedding day — and Matt threatened to ditch the reality show more than once.
Before fans watched the couple exchange vows, the professional dancer opened up about reliving her journey with Matt. “These most recent episodes have shown some of our toughest moments but also amazing memories that I’ll forever cherish,” she wrote via Instagram in October 2022. “The yacht date was unbelievable and meeting each other’s family and friends was very special. We talked for hours about bringing each other into our ‘real world’ and when we eventually were able to do so, we realized quickly how much love and respect we have for each other. I’ll always love our story ❤️.”
Matt and Collen were one of only two couples to say yes during the season 3 finale, along with Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux.
However, their love did not last. Matt and Colleen announced their split in May 2025.
