‘Love Is Blind’ Season 6: Are Johnny McIntyre and Amy Cortés Still Together?

We all enjoy Love Is Blind for the drama, but every season there’s at least one couple whose love story makes us all collectively swoon.

For season 6, that couple is definitely Johnny McIntyre and Amy Cortés. These lovebirds were the first to get engaged in the pods, and their journey has been (mostly) smooth sailing. Are wedding bells in their future? We aren’t sure exactly yet, but it’s looking good.

Here’s everything we know about the pair, including their backgrounds, current relationship status, and where they are now.

Who are they?Amy Cortés, 28, is an e-commerce specialist with a musical side; her Netflix bio states she learned to play the ukulele during COVID-19 lockdown. She also loves taking photos and is openly looking for an Instagram Husband who can snap a good pic. I mean, aren’t we all?

Johnny McIntyre is also 28 and is an account executive. According to Netflix, he loves to snowboard and wants to learn how to fly a plane. So maybe they can both take Instagram photos of each other? Sounds like a good compromise.

What went down on the show?This season McIntyre and Cortés have emerged as the clear winners for the title of “most stable couple” (although with all the drama this year that’s not exactly hard).

Still, these two are cute! They immediately connected in the pods over their shared interests like anime and focus on their families, both present and (hopefully) future. They were the first couple this season to get engaged, and McIntyre’s look of awe when he saw her for the first time could melt even the coldest of hearts. Then they made out, naturally.

Their bliss has continued pretty smoothly so far during their Love Is Blind journey, with Cortés hitting it off with McIntyre’s two sisters and the couple attending dance classes for their upcoming wedding (they even talked about finances without fighting).

However, one issue between them has raised eyebrows among viewers: birth control.

In episode seven McIntyre told fellow podster Laura Dadisman that the couple had not had sex yet because Cortés was not on birth control, and he was worried about an accidental pregnancy. In the subsequent episode, the couple discussed his fears about having kids too soon, and Cortés’s reluctance to get on birth control. But even this wasn’t really a fight, with the couple agreeing they just needed to keep talking about it to work it out.

When viewers saw the episode, though, they had a lot of thoughts. Like, condoms exist? And it shouldn’t all be on her, right?

McIntyre responded to the backlash in an interview with Us Weekly, admitting he needs to read up on his contraceptives.

“We wanted to make sure we’re on the same page,” he told the magazine. “Me really not knowing a lot about birth control, contraceptives, things of that nature made it difficult to really have a good conversation right away because I was uninformed.”

Cortés also defended McIntyre in a post on her Instagram stories, saying that her fiancé had a
“fear of an unplanned pregnancy that is rooted in his upbringing, which is more his story.”

“He never pressured me into taking birth control in that scene or off camera, he simply expressed how he thought women did it and even admitted that he had never thought much of it,” she wrote. “We live in a country where sex education is not the best, sadly. His willingness to learn and explore more options without any pressure was something I respected and appreciated as a woman.”

We will see if they work it out in the final episodes.

Did they get married on the show and are they still together?They seem to have a decent shot! Also, both of them are posting pretty loved-up photos of each other to Instagram, which to me, seems like a good sign!
