‘Love Is Blind’ Season 6: Are Chelsea Blackwell and Jimmy Presnell Still Together?
Blackwell mentioned to Presnell that her friends said she looked like actor Megan Fox, which upon their first meeting he did…not agree with!
“She definitely lied to me about how she looked,” he told the cameras.
In an interview with Glamour, Blackwell said she regrets making the comparison.
“I obviously regret bringing it up, 100 percent,” she said.
Unfortunately, this rocky start was only the beginning of the issues they have faced. Since the pods the couple has fought over numerous issues, with Blackwell feeling insecure over Presnell’s attraction to her and Presnell not really helping himself by calling fellow pod-squad member AD Smith “stacked.”
The couple’s scenes have been so rocky, Presnell even put up an Instagram defending their relationship following the release of episodes 7, 8, and 9 on February 21.
“Chelsea is an amazing person and loves so hard. Due to time, a lot of the full story this far wasn’t shown. There are reasons we are both fighting for each other and sticking to our promise. It’s easy to make assumptions off of snippets of our relationship, but I wanted y’all to be easy on my girl,” he wrote in part.
However, in episodes 10 and 11, we see the couple appear to strengthen their bond. At a gathering for all the pod squad, Jimmy and Jessica finally meet face-to-face, as do Chelsea and Trevor. There are wandering eyes as each chats with their would-be picks, but in the end everyone seems to get along relatively well.
In episode 11, Blackwell gets emotional as she tries on her wedding dress with the rest of the women, and she and Presnell squeeze in one last date at an amusement park before their bachelor and bachelorette parties. Presnell tells Blackwell, “You’re my person,” before saying there is something they haven’t yet discussed—then it cuts to black.
The finale picks up right where episode 11 left off. Turns out, the “something” they hadn’t discussed was whether or not they were going to get married. “I haven’t got a grasp of where you’re at,” Presnell says.
Blackwell answers that at that very moment, she would say yes. However, if he had asked her a few days before, she wouldn’t have been so sure. Then it was Presnell’s turn to answer.
And his answer was…“I don’t want to go to the altar. I can’t.” Blackwell appears shocked by this revelation and asks Presnell why he had even taken her on the final date if he knew that he didn’t want to at least walk down the aisle.
Things go downhill from there, and they rehash previous arguments (about Jimmy’s friendship with an ex and Chelsea’s clingy-ness), and both say that they should have broken up earlier on in their relationship. The next day neither attend their respective bachelor and bachelorette parties, seeming to confirm that they’re no longer together.
Did they get married on the show, and are they still together?
Jimmy and Chelsea do not get married on the show. In the finale episode, Presnell says he does not want to go to the altar, and the two appear to breakup for good.
