• 25-year-old Milton Johnson is one of the more mature cast members on Love Is Blind despite his age.
• Milton is engaged to 30-year-old Lydia Gonzalez and they are one of the two remaining couples on the show.
• Milton’s emotional maturity is evident in his reaction to Lydia’s previous relationship with Uche Okoroha.
Here is what happened:
In season five of Love Is Blind, viewers were initially skeptical of Milton Johnson, a 25-year-old participant who claimed he was ready to settle down. However, Milton has proven to be one of the more mature members of the cast, despite his young age. His immediate spark with 30-year-old Lydia Gonzalez, fueled by their mutual love for rocks, led to an undeniable connection between the two. Despite Lydia’s initial concerns over their age difference, Milton ultimately proposed to her, and they are now one of the two remaining couples in the experiment.
Milton acknowledges that it’s natural for people to be cautious of a younger person, but he believes that his accomplishments and character speak volumes about who he is as a person. He remains unaffected by Lydia’s previous relationship with Uche Okoroha, one of the men he had developed a friendship with during the early stages of the experiment. While Aaliyah Cosby left the show early due to her connection with Uche, it had no impact on Milton’s perception of Lydia or their engagement.
Milton explains that his attraction to Lydia was immediate, and he felt a strong connection with her. They share similar values and work in the same industry, which contributes to a harmonious work-life balance. As viewers await the finale, where the couples will decide whether they will get married, Milton’s unwavering commitment to Lydia suggests a positive outcome for them.
In the previous seasons of Love Is Blind, various couples faced different fates. Paul Peden and Micah Lussier broke up after Paul hesitated about marriage. Kwame Appiah and Chelsea Griffin managed to reconcile and are happily living in Seattle with their dog. Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi faced challenges but eventually tied the knot. Brett Brown and Tiffany Pennywell proved to be a perfect match despite a small sartorial hiccup on their wedding day. Raven Ross and Sikiru “SK” Alagbada briefly reunited before breaking up due to allegations of infidelity. Jackie Bonds chose Josh Demas over Marshall Glaze, ultimately leading to the end of their engagement. However, Jackie and Josh also announced their breakup recently, leaving their relationship status uncertain.
