Tensions reached a boiling point in Episode 7 of Love is Blind: Germany when Alina confronted her fiancé Ilias about his lingering feelings for fellow contestant Hanni, declaring:
"I don't think anyone deserves this, and I would never do this."
The episode, which was broadcast on January 10, 2025, depicted the devastating consequences of a private talk between Ilias and Hanni during a celebration for engaged couples.
The reality dating program, which explores whether emotional bonds formed in isolation may lead to long-term love, featured contestants planning weddings while managing complex relationship dynamics. This episode of Love is Blind: Germany pushed Alina's relationship to a critical juncture as she battled with Ilias' unresolved emotions.
What happened between Love is Blind: Germany’s Alina, Ilias and Hanni?
The issue escalated when Ilias and Hanni were observed having an intimate talk during a group gathering. Ilias tried to minimize his sentiments, defining them as "curiosity" rather than love, but the exchange made Alina clearly uncomfortable. Alina clarified her views to Jen, another contestant:
"I definitely won't say yes at the altar if I feel like the door is still open."
This episode of Love is Blind: Germany had a key face-to-face conversation between Alina and Ilias, during which she challenged him about his emotions for Hanni.
Despite Hanni's assurance to Ilias that she was dedicated to her fiancé Daniel and could not sustain a friendship with him, the event caused Alina to question the validity of her own engagement. She cautioned Ilias that his activities may lead to the loss of both her and Hanni.
Against the backdrop of relationship instability, the show followed the couples' wedding preparations as they approached the last 12-day countdown. Ironically, as Alina was shopping for wedding clothes with her closest friend Janik, Ilias was ecstatic about her meeting with his family, calling it an "amazing" opportunity.
His brother Dimos even commended their relationship, saying they "complement each other" perfectly.
Love is Blind: Germany's Hanni’s side of the story
While Alina and Ilias' drama took center stage, other couples faced their own challenges. Hanni, despite her involvement in the triangle, seemed focused on her future with Daniel.
During her dress fitting, she moved from initial uncertainty ("What am I doing? It's not that I'm thinking, 'Oh god, he's not the right man.' It's more, 'Oh, my god, we're getting married!'") to confidence ("I don't want to take it off. Let's get married").
Her fiancé Daniel shared this optimism while choosing his suit, expressing:
"I feel really, really good. Not just from the suit, you know?"
As this episode of Love is Blind: Germany concluded, the future of Alina and Ilias' relationship hung in the balance. While other couples moved forward with their wedding preparations, supported by friends and family, their storyline highlighted the show's central question: Can love truly be blind when other connections remain in sight?
The drama sets up what promises to be an intense lead-up to the weddings, with Alina's ultimatum leaving viewers wondering whether she and Ilias will make it to the altar, let alone say "I do."
