Jarrette Jones-Iyanna McNeely

Jarrette and Iyanna got married during season 2 of Love Is Blind. The couple lasted for one year and then decided to divorce, as reported by People. According to E! News, "irreconcilable differences" were cited as the reason for their separation.

They also witnessed roadblocks during the show's filming. Before getting married, as seen during season 2, the couple pointed out the difference in their lifestyle as a bone of contention. However, the couple sorted their way out to the aisle and got married. Iyanna expressed to Jarrette on the wedding day:

"I feel so understood by you, I feel so loved by you, and that never happens. I just feel like I'm supposed to be with you. You were made for me and I was made for you."

Soon after their first anniversary, the couple announced their separation. The couple also took to Instagram to share the announcement about their divorce on August 17, 2022. The now-unavailable statement read:

"What's going on, family. After much thought, we're saddened to share that we have separated and will begin the process of divorcing. While we have love for each other, our lives and going in different directions, and that's okay. Coming to this decision was far from easy and we will always wish each other the absolute best."
