Love Is Blind's Rob Feeley Opens Up About an Engagement That Did Not Last

Michaella Giorgio dated Matt Waldrip, a beekeeper, after filming wrapped on Love Is Blind Season 11. Matt revealed the relationship at the reunion, according to Netflix's own interview write-up.

The other storyline is the one that started in the pods. Pods are the private booths where cast members talk before they meet in person. Rob Feeley, a 40-year-old salesperson of AI infrastructure (the hardware and software that artificial intelligence runs on), got engaged to Michaella, a retail executive, in the Boston edition of the show. That engagement did not last.

People reported in late October that the two ended it after a heated confrontation at a cast gathering. Michaella later called Rob's behaviour before the split a "meltdown", according to E! News. Netflix's breakup interview links the split to a St. Patrick's Day mixer. Michaella also said, in deleted scenes Netflix released on 6 November, that Rob ghosted her.

Rob has now given his side. In an exclusive exit interview with Variety, he said he almost skipped the reunion. He also described what was happening in his life before filming. His long-term relationship had ended, he had lost his job, two of his best friends had died, and his father was in hospice.

Rob's 78-year-old mother nearly flew across the country to sit in the reunion audience. Rob also performed rap bars for Michaella at the reunion's virtual watch party, a livestream that fans could join, Netflix reported.

The reunion also covered another couple from the season. Netflix's recap says John and Sarah are divorcing.

For fans who followed the season, the reunion puts a name and a timeline to each of these moments. For Rob, it was also a chance to speak about a year that included losses well before the cameras arrived. The reunion gave him a place to tell that part of the story himself.
