Season 4 of Love Is Blind concludes this weekend with a live reunion episode hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, catching up with this year’s cast of couples—some of whom are still happily married after getting hitched on the show, while others have split.
One of the more controversial members of the Season 4 cast is Irina Solomonova, who ruffled a lot of feathers with her behavior towards her fellow contestants, pairing up with fellow “mean girl” Micah to mock and bully the other women on the show.
Irina hit it off with Zack during the pod stage of the social experiment, but friction soon arose between the two when they met face to face for the first time and Irina described Zack as “creepy.” The pair eventually got together and joined Micah and her fiancé Paul on a couples’ vacation to Mexico, where things went from shaky to… well, shakier.
Clearly uncomfortable around Zack, Irina eventually admitted in a confessional—and in a conversation with Micah—that she was actually more attracted to Paul after brazenly flirting with him during a pool party. Micah felt understandably betrayed by this revelation from her friend, and it essentially immediately put an end to Irina’s relationship with Zack, who ended up getting together with Bliss.
Where is Irina now?
Following the abrupt end to her engagement to Zack and disastrous flirtation with Paul, Irina appears to be taking a break from romance and focusing on running her own events-planning business. We’ll find out more about what she’s been up to since the end of the show when the live reunion episode airs.
