The reunion episode of Love is Blind: Germany aired on January 19, 2025, hosted by Stephanie Brungs and Christian Wackert. It provided updates on the couples and revisited some key moments from the season. A notable segment involved Jen and Alina discussing their thoughts about Hanni, who had rejected Daniel at the altar.
The hosts addressed the online criticism Hanni faced, including accusations that she misunderstood the show's purpose and joined for a potential TV career. Jen agreed with these comments. When the hosts pressed Jen on what she specifically agreed with, she mentioned that Hanni’s actions and statements were contradictory.
She referred to Hanni's conversations, where Hanni had allegedly admitted to not having feelings for Daniel before the wedding. Alina supported this claim, saying it aligned with what Hanni had told them privately. Jen further questioned Hanni’s intentions and honesty throughout the process.
Fans of the show, Love is Blind: Germany have since taken to X, sharing their reactions to this exchange and expressing their views about the criticism directed at Hanni.
"i feel so bad for hanni. she should’ve been honest w the flirting but she was completely blindsided by her “friends”. i’m genuinely disappointed in alina and jen," one fan commented.
"I just finished #loveisblindgermany and I like Jen but it was wrong how her and Alina treat Hanni, doesnt matter if they are right or wrong. Whatever she said, she trust in her "friends" and they exposed her on TV. And Alina, should be mad with her cheating man not with the girl.," another user said.
"Hanni deserved to be held accountable . sure but where was the energy towards Illias?? idk why she was crying I would’ve been like be happy I didn’t want him, Alina," an X user wrote
"Now I’m getting frustrated! Why is everyone ganging up on Hanni including Ilias! Alina, deep down, your man don’t want you and your too blind to see it," one tweet read
Some fans of Love is Blind: Germany criticized Ilias for allegedly "disrespecting" his relationship.
"this reunion is boring, and terribly-run. never bring Love Is Blind back to Germany omg. Zero accountability to Ilias who disrespected his relationship the most - instead, everyone slutshamed Hanni for “testing” Ilias, which Alina asked Hanni to do!" one netizen tweeted.
"Alina was angry that her man was playing in her face and took it out on hani - weird behaviour," another user commented.
"Alina pardon hein but you are waisting our time. We don’t care," a tweet read.
