Love is Blind star Micah Lussier is opening up about her friendship with Irina Solomonova, who was seen flirting with Micah’s fiancé Paul in front of the camera.
Irina’s engagement with Zack broke just days after the proposal as the couple was unable to connect on a deeper level. She found a 5-minute conversation with Paul more interesting than spending so many days with her own partner.
While Paul has made it clear that he does not like Irina, Micah was “unsure” if she should continue being friends with her. She added:
"In the moment, everything is so heightened. I felt so betrayed by my friend. So, I took a step back."
Eventually, the 27-year-old Marketing Manager was able to move on and forgive her. She explained that Irina had “always tried to be a good friend” besides those moments, and that she had a big heart “that's not being seen.” Lussier also said:
"What the future has in store for our friendship? I don't know. But it is hard seeing her go through this, too."
On the morning that the couple were going to leave Mexico, Irina confessed to Micah that she had talked on camera about her feelings for Paul. Micah was unsure if that was to warn her or share that she was interested in her partner. She said:
"I'm not sure. It all happened really fast. But I think it was an attempt to be honest."
Getting emotional, Micah acknowledged that watching herself on TV made her realize that she needs to be careful about who she surrounds herself with. She agreed that she needed to work on herself.
It is unknown if Micah Lussier will marry Paul in the final episode of Love is Blind, which will be released by Netflix on Friday, April 14.

In an Instagram statement, Micah said that she showed “emotional immaturity” on the show and would grow from it.” She apologized for triggering the viewers with her behavior and stated:
