Love is Blind star Marissa George announced her new relationship through Instagram on November 2, 2024, sharing a candid video with her boyfriend whom she met at Barcelona Wine Bar, a restaurant in Washington, D.C. The 32-year-old law school graduate started dating in April 2024, following six months of healing after her split from Ramses Prashad on season 7 of the Netflix show.
Marissa has yet to reveal the name of her new boyfriend. The announcement arrived days after the Love is Blind season 7 reunion aired, where she addressed her breakup with Ramses, who had called off their wedding during filming. In her social media post, she shared their first meaningful exchange.
Her new partner has gained strong family approval, with Marissa's mother, Vanessa, maintaining regular contact with him. According to US Weekly, the couple briefly dated before taking a break while Marissa processed her emotions from the show, later resuming their relationship with renewed clarity.

Marissa stated that her current relationship started at Barcelona, a Washington DC restaurant. Their early dating phase showed mutual understanding, but both agreed to pause as Marissa needed time to process her previous relationship.
During this break, they maintained a consistent friendship, which built a strong foundation for their future romance. When they resumed dating in April 2024, both entered the relationship with renewed clarity.
The couple faced an unusual challenge when Love is Blind season 7 aired. Her new partner watched every episode, including Marissa's relationship with Ramses. In her November 2024 interview with US Weekly, Marissa shared that watching the show together strengthened their bond.
“He did watch [the show] and it’s, obviously, hard to see your partner, like, in love with somebody else, but he knew what to expect and he knows the type of person I am. So he wasn’t too shocked I don’t think…I think we are definitely stronger because of it.” Marissa explained.
Present status
The relationship moved into public view with Marissa's Instagram announcement, which featured the couple's coordinated Halloween costumes in her stories before the official grid post. She stated that her new partner actively participates in activities that once created tension in her previous relationship.
In her interview, Marissa explained their dynamic differs significantly from her past experiences.
"I need a partner who anticipates my needs more and allows me to be the more emotional one without having to lead the relationship as much," she said.
Their relationship marks a shift in how Marissa experiences support. She said her new boyfriend takes care of her in ways she previously provided for others, including during her time with Ramses in Love is Blind Season 7.
The couple maintains open communication about their needs and expectations. According to Marissa's social media updates, they share morning routines, including her podcast sessions and shower singing moments, which she mentioned bring them closer together. Marissa also confirmed they plan to travel together in early 2025, marking their first extended trip as a couple.
Family integration
The most significant development in Marissa's new relationship involves her family's response, particularly her mother Vanessa's approval. During Love is Blind season 7 Reunion, Vanessa's strict evaluation of Ramses created notable tension. In contrast, her current boyfriend received immediate acceptance from the entire family.
"My mom loves him and it drives me insane…She's never loved a boyfriend more," said Marissa.
In her recent media appearances, Marissa revealed her mother and boyfriend maintain independent communication, often having private phone conversations without her involvement.
The family integration extends beyond maternal approval. Her boyfriend regularly texts with Marissa's siblings, creating a natural bond with her entire family unit. This differs from previous relationships where partners felt intimidated by Vanessa's strong personality.
Initial split
The Love is Blind season 7 relationship between Marissa George and Ramses Prashad ended when the latter called off their engagement days before the scheduled wedding. During their final conversation on the show, Ramses expressed worries about their daily compatibility. He mentioned specific concerns about morning routines, including Marissa's podcast listening habits and singing in the shower.
Marissa revealed she had suggested continuing their relationship without the pressure of marriage. However, Ramses declined this option, leading to a complete end of their romantic connection.
The aftermath stretched beyond Love is Blind season 7's filming. The couple attempted several conversations after the breakup. These discussions included one final attempt at reconciliation when Marissa asked about rekindling their relationship.
After Ramses' firm rejection, all communication between them stopped. Marissa spent the following six months focusing on personal growth and healing before opening herself to new relationships.
