Love Is Blind Creator Chris Coelen Defends Their ‘Very Rigid’ Casting Process

As a cinephile with decades of experience under my belt, I find myself often torn between the allure of reality TV and its glaring flaws. In the case of Love Is Blind, I can’t help but feel that the creators are skating on thin ice.


It appears that the evidence uncovered by TikTok investigators regarding the cast members doesn’t seem to trouble the creator of “Love Is Blind,” Chris Coelen. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he defended the show’s casting process, particularly after the controversy surrounding Tyler and his undisclosed family matters, as well as Stephen’s situation. Coelen emphasized that they have a thorough vetting process, which includes background checks and psychological evaluations. He stated, “Everyone in the world has a story, and we aren’t the police.

Coelen clarified more about the disconnect this season: “Our approach on ‘Love is Blind’ is that we strive to explain what truly happened, even if it can sometimes be frustrating for viewers who ask, ‘Why didn’t we see that?’ The reason might be because filming wasn’t taking place at that time or, as Alex recently stated, there were certain things Tim preferred to keep off camera. It could potentially benefit future cast members to openly discuss their feelings to minimize the disagreements during reunions.
