Are 'Love Is Blind' Season 9 Stars Edmond Harvey and Kalybriah Haskin Still Together?

Spoilers for all of Love is Blind season 9, including the finale, ahead. In an installment full of love triangles and chains, few things feel more steadfast and sure in Love is Blind season 9 than the relationship between Edmond Harvey and Kalybriah Haskin. But, if the Netflix reality hit shows us anything, it’s that what was once a love story in the pods can quickly sour when exposed to the real world. As is the case for the Denver, Colorado-based contestants, we’re breaking down Edmond and Kalybriah’s time on Love Is Blind season 9—and any clues of whether they may still be together after appearing on the show.

What happened between Edmond and Kalybriah in the pods on 'Love Is Blind' season 9?

Edmond, 29, and Kalybriah, 29, establish themselves as characters in the show fairly early. She’s the gentle and nurturing yet hardworking and independent travel social worker who wants to one day open a non-profit group home. He’s the energetic, colorful, and exuberant realtor who loves roller skating, grew up in foster care, and dreams of becoming a substitute teacher. The two lock in on each other in the season 9 premiere, which hit streaming on October 1, after sharing an emotional, tear-filled moment when he talks about the fifth-grade teacher who inspired him to pursue elementary education.

Do Edmond and Kalybriah get engaged on 'Love Is Blind' season 9?

While Kalybriah and Edmond aren’t the first couple to exit the pods hand in hand (that title goes to Ali Lima and Anton Yaroush, they do get engaged quickly in episode 3). Their relationship hits all the right beats for the perfect reality TV romance: There’s instant chemistry that penetrates a wall, strong emotional bonding rooted in the tearful exchange of familial hardships, promises that the other person can always be soft with them, and an emotional proposal, capped off by al happy meeting in which both parties auspiciously wear red. They kiss. He cries. He runs off to grab the ring and a love letter (the first he’s ever written), they kiss again, and part with smiles on both their faces.

By the time they arrive in Baja, Mexico with the other engaged couples, all seems well in paradise. They embrace the honeymoon phase, as Edmond presents Kalybriah with sneakers and matching T-shirts, and they enjoy a helicopter ride.

Then comes the pool party the next day. Historically, this gathering—when all the engaged cast members meet in person—is manufactured in part to incite drama, and Kalybriah and Edmond fall prey. At the event, Edmond mentions to the other men that he and Kalybriah haven’t had sex, citing her desire to wait until marriage, which was a boundary Kalybriah has since explained in press interviews that she communicated before the engagement. Edmond expresses reservations about the boundary with the men. When Edmond and Kalybriah later talk in their hotel room, Kalybriah reveals to Edmond that they're the only couple who haven’t had sex yet, which he states he didn’t know.

Kalybriah explains that, though she has had sex with other men before, she doesn’t anymore and wants to wait until she and Edmond marry in 30 days because she cares about their relationship. Edmond, who wants to take that next step, can’t comprehend how she could love him but not want to have sex with him when he’s “giving you my all.” She expresses that, since Edmond already knew about her boundary, she thinks he’s only upset now because he’s the only man in the group who hasn’t had sex. The conversation nosedives into a full-blown meltdown, with Edmond crying and lamenting that he’s “too nice.” Kalybriah attempts to find a resolution and explain her side of things, but grows tired and ends the conversation.

We see Edmond and Kalybriah again the following morning in episode seven, where a contrite Edmond apologizes to an inscrutable Kalybriah for his behavior the night before. She expresses that she “struggles to get over things sometimes,” but wants to get over that, and they reaffirm their commitment to each other.

Eventually, it feels like they’re able to find their way back to the connection they found in the pods. Episode eight introduces Edmond’s mom, Kerry, to the couple, and she very happily gives her nod of approval to Kalybriah and the marriage. Edmond even buys roller skates for Kalybriah in episode nine, which they test drive right in their apartment—prompting a laugh-filled moment during which she repeatedly falls into his arms. However, disaster strikes in episode nine when the whole Pod Squad meets up at a rodeo bar.

All seems well at first. Kalybriah even enthusiastically cheers Edmond on when he rides a mechanical bull. When fellow Pod Squad member Annie gushes that her fiancé Nick is perfect, Edmond responds by saying, “Just to be able to hear that would be crazy!” As the camera focuses on Kalybriah, standing right next to Edmond’s shoulder, we see the comment immediately strike a nerve. “Are you comparing your relationship?” she asks, voice hard—an immediate reminder of the pair’s previous fight in Cabo. “You’re making it sound like I’m not doing enough.”

Edmond wants to move on, but Kalybriah presses him to tell her what he’s feeling. He reveals that he thinks she never says nice things to him, and only tells him what’s wrong. She grows angry that he bottled it up until that moment, when they’re in front of everyone, and leaves. When he comes up to smooth things over, she turns him away. “I need you to grow up and be an adult and talk to me about stuff,” she explains, emphasizing her need to work through conflict instead of avoiding and moving on. Kalybriah then retreats to the bathroom to “have a moment.”

Episode 10 opens to the two sitting silently in their living room, until Kalybriah speaks, and we finally learn of the kindling that’d been piling behind the scenes and led to their explosion the night before. Kalybriah says that on the day leading up to the mixer, she’d been busy running errands all day. At one point, she called Edmond asking if he could run to the store to pick up some “Western things” for them to wear to the mixer, wanting to lean on her fiancé for help so she’d have time to eat and get ready for the party. Edmond said no, because he didn’t want to be late. When she told Edmond that he had hurt her feelings once she got home, he said his feelings were hurt. “In that moment, I called you in distress, and you just made me more stressed out,” Kaylbriah says to a stone-faced Edmond. By the time they’d arrived at the event, Kalybriah had mostly moved on—until Edmond brought up her not saying anything nice to him in front of the entire Pod Squad.

Edmond eventually apologizes and promises to work on his accountability, but circles back to his need to hear Kalybriah “say something nice.” Kalybriah, sitting on the couch and visibly working through her feelings, says that she still loves him and that she stays because she knows “there was a reason I said yes to you,” but expresses reservations that “potential” has “broken her heart” before. Despite their problems, they promise to be better for each other and continue working through things. They even officially file for their marriage license together later in the episode.

Another fight surfaces in episode 11, one that clearly pushes an emotionally tired Kalybriah to her breaking point. An off-camera argument and dismissal from Edmond to Kalybriah before a date raises tensions yet again. Kalybriah grows frustrated when Edmond, clearly in his own world of excitement over riding a snowmobile for the first time, once again doesn’t take ownership of his actions and acts like nothing’s wrong. Edmond, however, doesn’t think he’s done anything wrong. Kalybriah, meanwhile, feels defeated and exhausted, carrying the weight of adult communication and emotional intelligence. Edmond apologizes the next day with a bouquet of flowers in hand. The two go on a roller skating date together, and all seems well between the engaged couple going into the finale.

Do Edmond and Kalybriah get married on 'Love Is Blind' season 9?

Both Kalybriah and Edmond are emotional at the start of their wedding day; in their separate suites, they tear up as they see each other's rings. In a confessional, Kalybriah demonstrates her discernment once again, calling Edmond a "loving, trying, healing, growing, [and] stubborn" man who makes her feel loved. Kalybriah's mom visits Edmond before heading to the bridal suite and cries a bit when she gives him her blessing.

Meanwhile, Edmond appears to be alone in his groom's suite, as his mom couldn't attend the wedding due to "personal things." Edmond's obviously disappointed, but Kalybriah's mom comforts him while acknowledging how hard it is. His spirits lift when his fifth-grade teacher, Jessie, whom he'd mentioned in the pods, comes to visit him. He describes her as a "guardian angel" for offering him extra tutoring, meals, and emotional support when he was a hyperactive kid. Before she walks him down the aisle, Jessie tells him, "I will always be your constant...You made me the teacher that I am."

Once Kalybriah makes it up the aisle, she asks Edmond for a hug, and it's clear how much they love and care for each other. Edmond tells KB how much he's been praying for someone like her, and how he's ready to grow as a man. And KB praises his genuineness and positivity, saying how easy it was to fall in love with him. Edmond answers first with a confident, "I do," but when it's Kalybriah's time to respond, she shakes her head and begins to sob.

"You deserve someone that is 100 percent at the altar, and I'm not 100 percent right now," she tells him. "And my 'no' doesn't mean that I don't love you. It doesn't mean that I don't accept you."

It takes a bit for Edmond to collect himself; at first, he says that he has to be okay with it before he admits that he's not, and Kalybriah hugs him while telling him that it's alright to be emotional. After some tears, Edmond tells her, "I respect you no matter what," and begins to gush over her looks, adding, "I fell in love with you blindly, but dang, you had to be so beautiful." After they walk back up the aisle together, Edmond asks about "down the road," and Kalybriah says that she'll never "write him off," but she had to honor her doubt.

Back in the bridal suite, Kalybriah feels awful, but when her mom asks how she would've felt if she'd said yes, she answers, "I would have been miserable." Her mom points out that though KB didn't want to hurt him, "what would have hurt him the most is living a lie."

Jessie's there to support Edmond as he walks around the golf course at their venue. When Edmond says that this was his "best chance" to get married, Jessie points out how lovable he is. Her advice doesn't seem to sink in at the time, but hopefully it did a bit later.

Are Edmond and Kalybria still together after 'Love Is Blind' season 9?

Up until the finale, there were very few clues whether Kalybriah and Edmond had made it past filming. Both parties remained tight-lipped on social media—but they still follow each other as of the finale's release on October 22.

However, Kalybriah dropped a few hints in interviews throughout the season's airing that the two were no longer together. While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Kalybriah described Edmond’s reaction to her not wanting to have sex as “hurtful” and that it gave her the “ick,” especially considering she’d expressed the boundary before he proposed. She added that, following the argument in Baja, she slept on the balcony—which she volunteered to do—while he slept on the bed.

As for how they've been in the 18 months since the season was filmed, they're both expected to attend the reunion on Wednesday, October 29, at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT. We'll have to see if they rekindled things once the cameras stopped rolling.
