The reality dating show Love is Blind: Mexico premiered its first four episodes on August 1 on Netflix. The next four episodes (5-8) aired on August 8. The participants entered the show to find love through emotional connections as they wouldn't see each other until they decided to get hitched. Their final decision to marry or not will be made in the season finale on August 15, 2024.

In an unexpected event, Gerardo found himself reunited with his former flame, Mafer at Silvia's birthday party in episode 6. The surprise party was organized by Silvia's fiancé Chema, where all the contestants were present. Coincidentally, Fernanda didn't come to the birthday party, making it easier for them to have a conversation outside the pods. He said to Mafer:

"Like, if we put all this aside, I think we can be good friends."

Mafer's surprise visit on Love is Blind: Mexico

Mafer's surprise visit to Silvia's birthday party caught everyone's attention in episode 6 of Love is Blind: Mexico. Mixed emotions were visible on their faces; some were delighted to see her, while others, particularly Francesca, were unhappy because Fernanda was not present. They all started talking to her about her last date in the pod with Gerardo.

Franchesca said:

"I was not happy to see Mafer at all, Fernanda and I are really close friends."

When Chema inquired about her date with Gerardo, Leti mentioned that she had written a song specifically for him. Then, everyone asked her to sing. Later, Gerardo and Fernanda were seen having a private conversation; he wanted to talk to her and clear the air between them as the last talk in the pod was incomplete according to them.

Gerardo said:

"What we had in the pods was really good. For real. What we had was cool. My decision has no bearing on that."

Mafer replied:

"Listen, I know I was a little upset with you the last day. I mean I was angry and the reasons for it had less to do with you. What came to me was that, in the end, it came down to the guy's decision."

From pods to friendship: Their conversation in Love is Blind: Mexico

The initial connection between Gerardo and Mafer in the pods had been strong, with both forming a bond that she thought would lead to something serious. However, as the conversations progressed in Love is Blind: Mexico, circumstances led Gerardo to choose Fernanda, since he felt more connected to her. This caused disappointment in Mafer.

At the party, Mafer expressed her excitement about meeting Gerardo and also noted that she usually doesn't fall hard for people very easily. He responded with a smile, saying he was happy to meet her now and glad about having that talk. He told her about being nervous since Fernanda was not there. Mafer enquired about her and he said she was busy taking care of something.

The conversation was heartfelt and sincere, with both acknowledging the bond they had developed on the show Love is Blind: Mexico. They ended their chat on a positive note by raising a toast to their friendship and bidding goodbye to each other.
