A new pod squad is upon us!
Love Is Blind season 5 may have come to an end last year, but Netflix wasted no time in finding a new group of singles looking to find love in the pods – and over here at RadioTimes.com, we can’t wait.
Thirty singletons are ready to take on an experiment like no other, with never-ending pod chats and bonding sessions, in the hopes it’ll end with finding their future spouse who will say ‘I do’ once they get down the aisle.
Hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey have returned to guide the men and women through the process, as they discover if they can form an emotional connection with someone, sight unseen.
As the first six episodes become available to watch on Netflix, get to know the cast of Love Is Blind season 6.

Brittany
Age: 25
Occupation: Senior client partner
Instagram: @brittanymills123
Despite being only 25 years old, Brittany sees herself as wise beyond her years, which has left her feeling frustrated in the dating scene.
As per the process, Brittany is interested in a serious relationship that could lead to marriage one day. “I am looking for someone who is strong and able to provide me with peace in a partner,” she said ahead of her appearance on the show.
“Life is tough, but being able to roll with the punches and continue to grow together is what I’m looking for.”
Alejandra
Age: 28
Occupation: Financial consultant
Instagram: @_alejthegreat
Alejandra refuses to settle when it comes to finding true love, and wants to make sure the partner she chooses will be someone that adds to her life.
Noting what she is looking for in a partner, Alejandra explains her ideal guy is “very strong, confident and a natural born leader” who is also emotionally intelligent and able to communicate. However, she accepts that everyone, including herself, is a work in progress.
“I’m most proud of the personal growth I’ve made over the last few years – to take care of myself first,” she said. “I’m constantly working on being a better version of myself.”
Amber Desiree ‘AD’
Age: 33
Occupation: Real estate broker
Instagram: @amberdesiree
Amber is looking for a forever type of love that stems from a “soul connection”, as she believes she has wasted enough time on men who haven’t been ready to commit.
“Timing just has not been on my side,” she said. “I’ve always been ready, and then I meet people who are either halfway ready, or lie to me.”
At the centre of her dream marriage is respect and friendship, as she is “not going to sacrifice [her] integrity for love”. “I stand strong in the things that I believe. I’m a strong, proud Black woman and these are things that I just will not bend on.”
Mackenzie
Age: 25
Occupation: Makeup artist
Instagram: @_mackjo
Mackenzie is looking for an “extremely caring and empathetic” man who believes in God and wants to have children some day, and if she does find that guy, she can’t wait to get sporty with them and sign up for a sand volleyball league.
“This experience is going to be so good for me because I’m going to genuinely fall in love with somebody for who they are and not what they look like.”
Amy C
Age: 34
Occupation: PR director
Instagram: @amy__cai
Amy is prepared to step out of her comfort zone on Love Is Blind, and is hoping her future partner will help her “be more vulnerable and let [her] walls down”.
What is most important to Amy is being on the same page about starting a family, noting that it would be a deal-breaker for her if her partner didn’t want children. “I definitely wouldn’t be willing to sacrifice having kids.”
Sarah Ann
Age: 30
Occupation: Customer support manager
Instagram: @sarah_ann411
Sarah Ann has never used a dating app in her life, and after being single for the last four years, she is ready to make the most out of the experiment and is looking to break some bad habits.
Searching for a “thoughtful, funny, extremely playful” partner in the pods, Sarah Ann hopes they will embrace her religious life, as faith is not something she can compromise on.

Occupation: Flight attendant
Instagram: @dcoombsss
Danette is seeking an extremely supportive person in the pods who can “cheer [her] on and believe [she] can do anything”.

Age: 29
Occupation: Executive assistant
Instagram: @jess.ves
If Jessica were to find love in the pods, her future husband must embrace her daughter as well as her. Someone who couldn’t accept her daughter would be a deal-breaker for Jessica, because they are a package deal.
As a single mother to a 10-year-old, Jessica is now ready to put herself first in the experiment to find the right person to join their family.
Danielle
Age: 30
Occupation: Corporate comms
Instagram: @danielledionnee
After relying on dating apps, Danielle feels frustrated by endless conversations that go nowhere, and is ready to start meeting people face-to-face – although in the case of Love Is Blind, that’ll take some time.
“Dating is really difficult in this day and age,” she said. “It is hard to find someone on the same page and [who is] as mutually invested in you as you are in them.”
