Hannah and Nick broke up on ‘Love Is Blind’ — but a season 4 star just revealed Nick slid into her DMs
Hannah and Nick from “Love Is Blind” season seven.
Warning: Spoilers ahead through the “Love Is Blind” season seven finale.
“Love Is Blind” season seven has finally come to an end — and not all of the couples who got engaged made it all the way to the altar.
Hannah, a 27-year-old who works in medical device sales, and Nick, a 29-year-old real-estate agent, were one of the couples who made it out of the pods to a post-engagement vacation in Mexico. But moving in with each other put a strain on their relationship, and eventually, Hannah called off their engagement before she picked out a dress.
“Love Is Blind” is one of Netflix’s biggest reality television titles: In addition to millions of hours watched, according to Netflix engagement data, the company has also spun it off into multiple international editions in countries like Japan and Mexico. Hannah and Nick were two of this season’s most prominent cast members, given that they were days away from getting married, and featured in 11 out of 12 episodes.
Obviously, the former couple is no longer together. But interestingly, one “Love Is Blind” season four cast member said that Nick had reached out to her months after his breakup with Hannah.
Here’s how Nick and Hannah’s relationship played out on the show, and what they’ve said since their storyline concluded.
Hannah has a connection with both Nick and art dealer Leo in the pods
Hannah has another strong relationship in the pods with Leo, a 31-year-old art dealer.
Ultimately, she chooses Nick, but her connection with Leo leads to Hannah rebuffing some of Nick’s early serious advances.
While Hannah continues to date Nick and Leo, Nick tells her that he loves her first, and she reciprocates. But when Hannah tells Leo that she and Nick have strong feelings for each other, Leo reacts poorly, demanding to know what she would say if he asked to marry her in that moment.
The conversation brings Hannah to tears, and during their next encounter, Leo apologizes for his actions and the two agree to cut off the relationship. In episode four, Nick proposes to Hannah, and she accepts. They meet in person in episode five and are selected to go to Mexico with five other couples from the show.
Unfortunately, things don’t get off to a particularly great start. In a confessional interview during the reveal, Hannah voices disappointment that Nick doesn’t look the way she expected him to.
Then, while in Mexico, Hannah and Nick have some more serious hiccups. First, Nick playfully races another woman on a plastic duck and gives Hannah “the ick.” But more importantly, Nick discovers that Hannah wrote a list of hesitations and questions she had about him, including the word “delulu.” Later, in episode six, they go over the list together.
“I have concerns for, like, our relationship, and what we need to address to make sure that we’re 100%, like, when we go to the altar,” Hannah tells Nick. “I just want to make sure we’re there.”
Nick and Hannah in episode nine of “Love Is Blind” season seven.
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 condescended toward 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 attend 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 still follow each other on Instagram — but another ‘Love Is Blind’ contestant says Nick pursued her
As of the season finale airdate, Hannah and Nick still followed each other on Instagram.
However, it doesn’t appear that Nick follows Hannah on TikTok, at least on his public account. Hannah’s following list on TikTok is set to private.
Hannah has 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 has been reacting 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 (i.e. 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.
The “Love Is Blind” season seven reunion will air on Wednesday, October 30 at 9 p.m. ET on Netflix.
