So, are Love Is Blind's Jimmy and Chelsea together now?
Netflix dropped the sixth series of Love Is Blind on Valentine's Day last month, and brought with it a brand new group of singletons from Charlotte, North Carolina, who headed into the pods in the hopes of finding their future spouse.
One couple that we were pretty invested in was Chelsea Blackwell and Jimmy Presnell, who seemed to have a fiery on-again-off-again relationship, with the pair often coming to blows over whether he was giving her enough attention.
As we now know, the pair didn't make it down the aisle, with Jimmy admitting he wasn't ready to say 'I do' to Chelsea before it got to their wedding day. It was one of the major bombshells the final Love Is Blind episode dropped, before the Reunion episode landed last Wednesday [13th February], giving us more insight into the participants' lives. But, where is Jimmy and Chelsea's relationship at now?
Are Chelsea and Jimmy still together?
Following the reunion Jimmy told Entertainment Weekly that the pair "are still really close", and "rekindled" their friendship months before Love Is Blind aired on Netflix, but that it hadn't worked out. The show was filmed a year ago. "It was more of, 'I don't want to go into this reunion cold turkey. If you don't want to be my friend, I totally respect it'," he said.
"After the show, she wasn't the biggest Jimmy fan for a while, after our breakup and after our second breakup... [Before the reunion] we were supposed to have an hour lunch date, and it ended up being five hours of us just catching up and talking and a reminder of why we were so close.
"And it sucks that we went that far without being friends, but we've both been dealing with a lot recently. I'm very thankful that she's in my life and we have a good relationship because I'm leaning on her as much as she's leaning on me at this point."

Chelsea and Jimmy still follow each other on Instagram, and the pair have liked each other's posts on the platform, but it sounds like they're not a couple right now.
Love Is Blind is now streaming on Netflix.
