In Love is Blind season 6, the relationship between cast members, Chelsea and Jimmy, was seemingly beset with roadblocks right from the beginning. Their relationship started off well in the pods but consequently didn't work out and succumbed to the weight of their expectations.

Despite their profound declarations of love for each other, Jimmy and Chelsea had a bumpy ride on the Netflix show. In the aftermath, the duo is still not together as seen in the reunion episode that aired on March 13, 2024.

One of the contributing factors that led to the couple's fallout is believed to be Chelsea's blatant revelation of one of Jimmy's most closely guarded secrets. In episode 10, drunken Chelsea revealed that Jimmy was in the habit of "going out" with his friends and had once hooked up with one of his close female friends. This was before he and Chelsea came together.
