While no relationship is easy, one that begins sight unseen does have additional sets of challenges despite their early established emotional connection arguably being one of the strongest. This is exactly what Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind: Argentina‘ explores at every step, especially with couples like Emily Ceco and Santiago Martinez right at the forefront. After all, they had to navigate jealousy issues, physical attractions, outside influences, as well as their own insecurities, making their bond quite tumultuous.
Emily and Santiago Initially Seemed Like the Perfect Match
Having always wanted a love that lasts a lifetime, 24-year-old Emily Ceco stepped foot into this production in the hopes of finally finding the one for her. And just like her, there was also 29-year-old Santiago, who was more than ready to build a life for himself alongside a life partner with whom he could share all his successes. However, he never could have imagined he’d have a dream about a girl the night before the pods were to open – he couldn’t see her face, but he did hear her name, only to write it down on a piece of paper as soon as he awoke.
This name was Emily. So, of course, when she introduced herself to Santiago in the pods, he melted into tears, shared his story, and expressed he believed they were destined to meet. This understandably didn’t sit well with 29-year-old Agustina Pontoriero, with whom he had a speed date just minutes prior, especially because it felt like they were starting to build a bond. Nevertheless, with his dream raising expectations with Emily and her feeling like a second option, she called it off with him within two days despite him wanting to explore things, which neither of them ever expected.
However, Santiago wasn’t entirely heartbroken over this because the connection he had found with Emily was growing with each passing day. It wasn’t just about his dream anymore; it was about their real feelings. Their values, their future expectations, as well as their emotional availability matched to a tee, enabling them to fall hard and fast despite their age gap and love for rival soccer teams. Hence came the proposal, reveal, and their getaway in Tulum, Mexico, which reiterated every aspect of their connection before they came face to face with a major issue: his jealousy.
Emily and Santiago Seem to Have Parted Ways
While neither Emily nor Santiago has confirmed or denied anything as of writing, their social media platforms do indicate they are no longer involved in any way, shape, or form. Not only do either of them seem to be wearing a ring these days, but they also don’t seem to have any public contact – they do not follow one another, let alone leave likes or comments on each other’s posts. The reason behind all of this is unclear. Yet, it is highly likely they split over some serious trust issues – he is admittedly the jealous type who couldn’t even let a hug between her and his friend Tom Martorello go. In contrast, she has admittedly already had a rather controlling relationship and was quite cautious. Her caution also stemmed from her trauma of having been taken advantage of during a robbery, making it difficult for her to open up.
Emily Ceco is Just Beginning Her Career
While it’s true that when we first came across Emily in the show, she was just a journalism student dabbling as a make-up artist, she has since evolved into much more. In fact, from what we can tell, this Bachelor of Communication student has since begun exploring the professional side of her field, all the while making the most of her youth by exploring the world. It actually appears as if this beach lover is gradually building her profile as a full-fledged journalist, and it is undeniable that her exposure through this Netflix original production will only push her to new heights.
Santiago Martinez is Still Thriving as an Entrepreneur
As the proud owner-operator of a telecommunications company, Santiago is living his best possible life these days as he is surrounded by friends and family, as well as new experiences. It seems like this supposed singleton is making the most of his hard-earned success by focusing on not just work but also the many different areas of his personal life to have a great balance. After all, he has made it abundantly clear that while he does want to be comfortable and provide for his future family, he isn’t letting that ambition get in the way of not enjoying the present. As if that’s not enough, we should mention this travel enthusiast has recently also started dabbling in modeling, which, to be honest, is a great look for him. Honestly, we can’t wait to see what’s in the cards for him next.
