Spoilers for the first 11 episodes of Love is Blind season 10 ahead. There’s little doubt on Love Is Blind season 10 that participants Brianna “Bri” McNees and Connor Spies like each other. But the pair learn over the course of the Netflix reality show that shared affection and a built connection alone won’t carry a relationship into the real world. Though the two ultimately chose each other in the pods after both found themselves in separate love triangles, breaking off their other strong connections to pursue a potential future together in the outside world, “forever” ultimately wasn’t in the cards for them. Below, we’re breaking down Bri and Connor’s relationship on Love Is Blind season 10, and if they might have stayed together once the cameras stopped rolling.

What happens in the pods between Bri and Connor on 'Love Is Blind' season 10?
Brianna McNees, a 34-year-old senior merchant nicknamed “Breezy” by her friends, enters the 10th season of Love Is Blind boldly, brightly, and with tons of spunk. She immediately finds connections with 33-year-old account executive Chris Fusco and 32-year-old account manager Connor Spies, both of whom have additional connections. (Connor is also interested in 28-year-old retail merchandiser Emma Betsinger, while Chris has a spark with 39-year-old infectious disease physician Jessica Barrett.)
Connor and Bri slowly work through their individual relationships in the pods for the first half of the season. “When am I going to find someone that does everything?” Bri asks fellow contestant Ashley in the women’s lounge in episode 3 as she contemplates her two connections. But ultimately, Bri and Connor choose each other, ending their other relationships with Chris and Emma, respectively. “You’ve been my slow burn from the start, but falling in love with you more and more each day has been my favorite part,” Bri tells Connor in episode 4.

Connor and Bri get engaged in episode 4.
Do Bri and Connor get engaged on 'Love Is Blind' season 10?
After they confess their feelings for one another in episode 4, Connor proposes, and the two finally meet.
“It’s definitely a fairy tale,” Bri says ahead of their first meeting. “But is this all going to come to fruition and be real life? Or are we just living in a fairy-tale world?”
At first, it seems the fairy tale is real. The pair happily embraces, with love in their eyes and smiles on their faces. When they go to Cabo with the rest of the engaged couples, they celebrate Connor’s 32nd birthday at a party where they meet with the rest of the cast.
Tensions start to arise between Connor and Br in Cabo, Mexico.
Bri, however, confesses feeling underwhelmed, expressing in a confessional that she’s a little confused why everyone appears so shallow in person, given the “deep connections” they’ve made. She seems, at least in part, to be referring to the lack of meaningful interaction between her and her former flame Chris, as well as Connor not engaging at all with Emma—something she expresses to Connor that night. Connor appears at a loss. When he asks if she hoped Chris would pull her aside, she pauses before admitting she doesn’t know, and then reveals she wants a “part two” so she can talk to Chris.
Bri gets her wish later in the episode, when the engaged couples attend a pool party together. Both Emma and Connor, as well as Bri and Chris, briefly chat about their abandoned relationships in the pods. While Emma and Connor have a perfunctory and mostly innocuous conversation, it’s hard to gauge the intention behind Chris and Bri’s exchange. It seems mostly friendly, with Chris expressing his commitment to his fiancée, Jess, while Bri—at times unsure of her own connection with Connor—wants to talk with the person she might also have left the pods with.
When she and Connor reconnect in their room later, she tells him she’s glad she got a part two and could even do a “part three.” “It’s not because I’m romantically interested in somebody, but there’s a lot to unpack,” she says. He, in turn, expresses it’s “weird” for him to see her “stumble” over a connection she’d cut off, especially when he found he could walk away from his past connection.
When they move back to Ohio, Bri tells Connor, "When you can close your eyes and envision who’s going to experience life with you, I envision you."
Do Bri and Connor stay together after the pods on 'Love Is Blind' season 10?
Despite Bri’s stumble, she and Connor move into an apartment together back in Ohio and begin to assimilate their lives. At the start of episode 7, Bri even tells Connor she fears they may separate and asks him why he chose her. He reflects, saying she’s confident, goal-driven, strong, and goes after what she wants—giving everything to the people and things she cares about, including him. They both leave the conversation reassured, Connor especially.
This energy carries them into the next few episodes, in which they visit each other’s homes and meet Bri’s mom and Connor’s family. Though they seem bonded, Bri seems a little stuck on Connor’s less composed lifestyle, at least as it compares to her own. At first, she just jokes about it—ribbing him for his disorganized, messy apartment with his family. But she does tell her mother about her uncertainties in episode 8, wondering whether he has the same drive as her.
This sticking point comes to a head when Chris, Bri’s other connection in the pods, who left engaged to Jess, breaks up with his fiancée in episode 9. Unbeknownst to Connor and Bri, Chris told Jess how he’s been thinking about what life would’ve been like if he’d gone with his “number two” option, Bri.

The implications of Chris’s confession loom as the cast heads to a mixer with the entire Pod Squad at the end of the episode. Both Chris and Jess attend separately, and Bri tells the girls that Chris followed her and DM-ed her late at night on Instagram following his break-up with Jess.
Chris and Bri later talk one-on-one, leading to the highly anticipated moment teased in the last trailer in which Chris calls Connor too submissive for Bri, saying she needs someone more driven and focused—seemingly implying that she needs someone more like him. Bri remains inscrutable throughout the conversation, though at times seems at least intrigued to hear Chris’s assessments. She even engages a bit, at one point asking Chris why he didn’t tell her any of this in Cabo.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the bar, Connor tells Jess that he and Bri are driving to visit her family in Michigan the next day and that he doesn’t think she’s looking for someone to “outwork her, out-motivate her, out-alpha her.” It’s an ominous statement, given the conversation his fiancée’s currently having with Chris. Chris goes a step further, telling Bri he doesn’t think she and Connor will get married and that she needs someone more dominant to help her and guide her.

Bri has since contextualized this interaction in an interview with E! News, saying that Chris took her aback at the mixer. “Honestly, at this point, we have shown so much of ourselves,” she told the outlet. “And so anything that's to come, I'm like, 'I said, what I said. I did what I did.' That was my experience. And it's so chaotic in the moment, and you're doing the best you can.”
The conversation continues into the beginning of episode 10, with Chris revealing to Bri that he’d confided in Connor the night Jess told Chris he was her number one. In response, Chris claims Connor—who knew Chris was also dating Bri—said he would make Bri his number one, presumably since Chris was no longer interested. Chris implies that this domino sequence was what knocked him out of alignment with Bri.
Though the revelation catches Bri off guard, it doesn’t seem to change her mind about her engagement to Connor. “Honestly, I would not go through any of this with anybody but him,” she tells Chris, adding that she would have left if Connor had departed the pods. Her demeanor remains steady later in the night, even when she and Connor debrief together at home. He waves off Chris’s claims when she brings them up, and when Chris messages Bri, the two read his DM together.

Do Bri and Connor get married in 'Love Is Blind' season 10?
Despite Chris’s interventions, all seems well in paradise for Connor and Bri throughout episode 10. The day after the Pod mixer, the two go to Grand Rapids, Michigan to meet Bri’s dad and extended family. Everything seems fine heading into their final date, when Bri suddenly confesses to Connor that she finds it weird he’s falling in love with her because she “doesn’t feel” like herself and that he’s not “getting the best” of her. Connor attempts to soothe her, listing off all the moments that make him feel like their relationship is a “forever thing” and why she’ll make a good wife. “I feel like I fall more and more in love with you each day,” he says. In return, she tells him she had “butterflies, heart palpitations, everything in between” talking to him in the pods, and that he’s shown her what it’s like for someone to love every piece of her. “You really taught me what love is,” she says. It’s a bright, optimistic note to head into their wedding.
However, this conversation only marks the beginning of the end. When we return to Connor and Bri in their apartment later in episode 11, Bri reiterates to Connor that he’s not getting the best of her because she’s been so busy. She tells him how much she appreciates how he loves her for “the good, the bad, and the ugly,” but that she’s “so used to someone that’s out-alpha’d me.” “I just feel like I’ve been so critical and so analytical and trying to figure out if this is my husband that I’ve lost concept of ‘Is love blind?’” Bri tells Connor—confessing she’s not ready to walk down the aisle.
Connor appears at peace despite the break-up—clearly mournful that it’s a no from Bri when it would’ve been a yes from him, but content in the love they share. He says, in any other situation where the other person said they weren’t ready to marry him when he was, he would’ve freaked out. But when Bri asks why he thinks that’s different, he says, “Because of how much we do love each other. I am optimistic.” To the camera, he tearfully says, “I love her with all my heart, and I knew that before even seeing her. So yeah, I think love is blind.”
Connor ultimately respects Bri's decision at the end of episode 11.
Are Bri and Connor from 'Love Is Blind' season 10 still together?
Though the couple ultimately don’t make it to the altar on the reality hit, that doesn’t mean Bri and Connor aren’t still together. In their final conversation, both expressed plenty of love for the other person—which could leave the door open for the relationship to rekindle in the future. “You’ve told me your whys. You’ve directly communicated where you’re at. I’ve never had that in my entire life. And that’s why I’m more excited to continue to grow, continue to prove that I’m going to be there for you,” Connor tells Bri during their break-up, which seemingly insinuates he at least hopes to continue their relationship. Both still follow each other on Instagram, indicating an at least cordial relationship, though we’ll have to wait until the reunion, due out on March 11, for confirmation.
