The Love is Blind reunion debuts on Netflix today and Laura couldn’t be there in person because she was on a business trip in Barcelona, Spain, not because she didn’t want to be in the same room as Sarah Anne and Jeramy (but I wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t.)
As for Love is Blind season 7, all we know is that it is set in Minneapolis.
SCOOP: As I told him would happen, @donlemon, the owner of this platform Elon Musk sent a terse text to his reps: “Contract terminated” after an interview Lemon did with Musk last Friday that was not to the adult toddler’s liking, including questions about his ketamine use.

Again, this wasn’t a TV story, but since I included it here so much back when it happened, I feel compelled to add this update to the tragic Rust shooting: armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
