René and Irais: Bond Tested in the Real World in Love is Blind: Mexico

Episode 3 of Love is Blind: Mexico took a dramatic turn after René and Irais, who had a strong connection in the pods, seemed to face unexpected challenges. Initially, they began to like talking to each other, and René told Irais that she could count on him. They both decided to be exclusive with each other.

Later in the episode, René proposed to Irais, telling her that she had made him "see and believe in love again." He asked her to be the yin to his yang.

"You are the person I choose to share my joys and my sorrows with. So I'm asking you, Irais, will you marry me," René said.

Irais agreed and they decided to meet each other. Although René loved Irais in her person too and told her she was exactly how he imagined her to be, Irais felt a disconnect. She claimed to have felt a disconnect between the person she spoke to and the person she met. Her realization resulted in the elimination of both contestants from the show.
