Kwame Appiah and Chelsea Griffin knew they would each say “I do” before the Love Is Blind season 4 finale.
“A couple days before I knew that I had to make up my mind because I felt like if I was on the fence on that day, I would’ve made a decision and regretted it later,” Kwame exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2023. “We went ahead and actually got a lease to an apartment in Seattle a couple days before … to know, like, ‘Hey, at least we’re willing to take this next step and see how it goes from here.’”
Kwame, who was previously based in Portland, met Chelsea during the Seattle iteration of the Netflix pod experiment. While connecting sight unseen, Kwame also developed feelings for Micah Lussier. Micah, however, ultimately dumped Kwame in favor of ex-fiancé Paul Peden. Kwame was initially heartbroken before realizing that Chelsea was The One.
After Kwame and Chelsea conquered a love triangle, they faced further challenges on the home front when his mother wouldn’t approve the union. Kwame’s mom ultimately came around after their May 2022 wedding.
“It was an amazing first visit. I went in with little expectations,” Chelsea told Us in March 2023. “I knew she was gonna be very observant of me, but it was a great experience. When I stepped foot into their home, I felt at home.”
