Izzy Zapata, 32, a sales associate from Corpus Christi, Texas, returns in the latest episode of Perfect Match season 2 on Netflix. He got previously eliminated in episode 2 after being dumped by Tolú Ekundare.

Izzy also appeared on Love is Blind season 5. He revealed he's an insurance sales agent not making much money, which led to Stacy Sydney leaving him at the altar.

Perfect Match season 2 is currently streaming, with Izzy and other contestants reappearing before the finale on June 21. Fans are eagerly anticipating the season's outcome.

Izzy Zapata's career explored

Izzy Zapata started his career in insurance sales before gaining fame on Love Is Blind.

Before that, he was involved in business sales at AT&T. According to his Facebook, in February 2022, Izzy was working at Globe Life Liberty National Agency Division.

Izzy Zapata seems to have a flavor for playing golf and often posts fitness-related posts on his Instagram account too. He enjoys little things in life like a good sunset, parties clouded with loved ones, and posting pictures of his day-to-day life for his 218k Instagram followers.

Love Is Blind season 5 premiered on Netflix in September 2023. Izzy was genuinely committed to finding authentic love and a deep, meaningful connection when he joined the show.

He found himself engaged to Stacy Synder during the show. Unfortunately, their relationship did not stand the test of time, as Stacy harbored concerns about Izzy's financial situation. This ultimately led to Izzy being left alone at the altar.


Izzy Zapata's journey on Perfect Match season 2

During his time on Perfect Match season 2, Izzy formed a match with Tolu Ekundare but did not survive too long in the show. In the second episode Tolu chose not to redeem her match with Izzy and Izzy faced elimination.

Izzy's elimination didn't end his quest for the Perfect Match. In a recent episode, he made a comeback and was seen flirting with Micah Lussier, a former Love is Blind season 4 contestant. Izzy was clearly fanboying over Micah.

Izzy said:

"My god, this is so awkward! I'm like, fanboying over here. I don't try to like, spit some game at you. It's just like, I'm going to come talk to you."

Micah Lussier did not receive this attention very fondly. She was creeped out by his overwhelming reaction and in a confessional called him ‘so cringe’. Izzy seemed nervous and awkward during the whole conversation with Micah.

He tells the camera:

"Oh god. I don't even want to think about it. It's so cringe. Probably gave her the ick. What the heck.”

He said to Micah:

"Yes, it's crazy to see you here. This is crazy. I've seen you, and so, like Love Is Blind, you see everything. So I followed you 'cause we went through the same thing."

As of now, Tolu is matched with Chris, and Izzy is still searching for his perfect match navigating through his awkward flirting skills.


The finale episode of The Perfect Match season 2 is going to premiere on June 21, 2024, on Netflix.
