Love Is Blind star Marissa George confirmed multiple intimate encounters with ex-fiancé Ramses Prashad following their failed engagement in Season 7. The revelation came during the reunion special aired on October 30, 2024, as Marissa discussed relationship patterns with fellow contestant Nick Dorka.

The 32-year-old law clerk admitted these meetings stemmed from drunk texts while she was in Washington DC, occurring several times over early 2024. These encounters happened during her six-month emotional recovery period after Ramses ended their engagement days before their planned wedding.

The meetings started through late-night messages and never developed into a regular arrangement. Marissa emphasized both parties maintained strong feelings during this period despite knowing their interactions prevented proper healing.

The Washington DC-based Love Is Blind Season 7 couple maintained contact through multiple channels after filming ended in late 2023. Their most significant interaction stretched across an eight-and-a-half-hour phone conversation, where they examined their relationship thoroughly.

Love Is Blind Season 7 star Marissa used these discussions to suggest continuing their connection without marriage pressure. These attempts at reconciliation met consistent rejection from Ramses, who maintained his decision to end their relationship permanently.

Their post-breakup physical encounters emerged from late-night messages when Marissa visited DC. In an interview with US Magazine, Marissa explained,

"I'd be in DC, I'd get drunk somewhere. I was drinking a lot more than I should have, and I would drunk text him and one thing led to another.”

She emphasized these meetings never became a regular arrangement, occurring "only a few times." Both acknowledged maintaining strong emotions during this period.

"We both knew that wasn't good for us because I still had such strong feelings and he also had his strong feelings regardless if he wants to be in a relationship or not," Marissa shared.

This phase of their relationship lasted several months into early 2024, with both parties recognizing these interactions hindered their ability to move forward effectively.


Initial breakup

The relationship initially ended when Ramses called off their engagement days before the planned wedding ceremony in Love Is Blind Season 7. During the pivotal conversation, Ramses shared concerns after speaking with family members about his previous marriage.

"I just learned that my ex was hurting much more than I realized after the divorce. And I'm just scared that something may happen where I'd end up hurting you," Ramses explained to Marissa during their final pre-wedding discussion.

He expressed worries about their daily compatibility, specifically mentioning feeling overwhelmed by their living dynamics. Marissa's mother intervened the night of the breakup, visiting Ramses's room to understand his sudden decision.

The conversation remained private until its reveal at the Love Is Blind Season 7 Reunion, where Vanessa admitted wanting to "punch him in the throat" for hurting her daughter.


Current status

The former couple's last meaningful interaction occurred at the Love is Blind Season 7 Reunion, marking their first substantial meeting since ending all communication. Ramses addressed the group during the reunion special, explaining his decision.

"There was one day where it really hit home for me, and I realized and recognized if I move forward with Marissa, every day I would be in a place where I would feel exhausted and overwhelmed," he stated.

The law clerk confirmed she no longer holds deep feelings for her former fiancé. Marissa’s mother expressed relief about the relationship's permanent end, suggesting Marissa would have carried most responsibilities had they married.


The reunion marked the final chapter of their Love is Blind Season 7 journey, with both parties now pursuing separate paths forward. Currently, Marissa is in a new relationship as per her Instagram updates. However, the identity of her new partner is yet to be revealed.
