Another Love Is Blind star who was first scouted for Married at First Sight? Kwame.
"The way that I ended up on Love Is Blind was because when I first got back to the States in I think 2018 [or] 2019, someone tried to recruit me for Married at First Sight," the athlete, who played soccer in Sweden, said on Reinvented With Jennifer Eckhart. "When they reached out to me, I remember the conversation was so funny: 'Hey, you don't know me, but I got your number from this person and I just wanted to ask you—would you think that you're ready to get married?' I was like, 'Woah!' I don't think so.' And then I just kinda moved on."
But after talking to his sister, Kwame continued, he decided to give Married at First Sight a try. However, he said he realized it wasn't a fit after a day or two of filming.
And while it wasn't at first sight, he did end up getting married to Chelsea Griffin on Love Is Blind.
