As featured on 'Love is Blind: Argentina's reunion, Santiago opened up about how reality was "totally different" compared to the couple's time in the experiment.

"Reality is totally different from what you feel in an experiment. We were together 24 hours a day. In the real workd, we have jobs, friends...We needed a pause to say, "Hey, do I miss you? Are we in love?" Time ended up telling us. Our talks, our dynamic, we were in love," shared Santiago.

Further on the episode, when the show hosts discussed receiving "online comments," Santiago shared his side. He revealed how such comments affected him, which was because of his parents, who worried about him.

However, the 'Love is Blind: Argentina' star recalled how he and Emily talk about such things, and then it saves them in their time of crisis.

"Seeing it from a distance made us say, "That wasn't very nice, Emily." And now we say, "Look how we changed things." Our talks, of course we make mistakes. But it's good to learn from mistakes. And it's even better with her by my side," revealed Santiago.

The hosts also mentioned Emily's mother, who was sitting in the audience.

Emily got emotional as the host mentioned how her mother has supported the couple, especially Emily, since the beginning. Emily shared that seeing her mom was incredible.

"When she saw the comments online, she got really worried. She knows that in past relationships, I've been in strange, nasty situations," shared Emily.

The female cast member added that her mother was worried and didn't want similar incidents to repeat with her.


Fans can now stream 'Love is Blind: Argentina's first season and the reunion episode on Netflix.
