Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind: Mexico‘ encourages contestants to break free from their usual dating patterns and trust their instincts in finding true love. The couples communicate through separate pods and only meet in person when ready to get engaged, presenting a unique and daunting challenge that only some people dare to face. In the first season, Francesca Oettler and Willy Salomon took the plunge by opening their hearts to each other. They decided to build a future together and worked toward achieving it. From understanding each other’s backgrounds to meeting their expectations, they maintained the season’s rhythm and didn’t hesitate to reveal their vulnerable and authentic selves.
Francesca and Willy Had a Complex Connection
Francesca Oettler and Willy Salomon began having serious conversations later in the season. Francesca hadn’t yet found a partner, but when she met Willy, she felt he was someone she could genuinely explore the experiment with. Willy shared that, for reasons he couldn’t fully understand, he had never been able to fall in love, which was an inhibition he hoped the experiment could help him overcome. From the start, Francesca clarified that she and her 11-year-old daughter, Mila, were a package deal, and her honesty deeply resonated with Willy. The two of them could discuss their future in just a short time.
Francesca appreciated Willy’s honesty when he admitted that his old patterns were emerging, making him hesitant to take the leap. She assured him that her feelings were genuine and that it would be him if she were to move forward in this experiment with anyone. Her directness was crucial for Willy, who realized he could see a partner in her. He mentioned his 2-and-a-half-year-old nephew, whom he adored, reassuring Francesca that being around children wouldn’t be an issue and that he looked forward to joining her and Mila’s life. This heartfelt connection made their day, and the next time they met, Willy brought a pendant made from a cedar tree his father had planted, symbolizing his acceptance into her family. From then on, everything flowed naturally as they got engaged and embarked on their honeymoon.
Francesca and Willy discussed their future further but never missed out on having fun. On their first night together, Francesca felt like she was sleeping next to her husband, not a stranger. As they moved on to the real world, to test their connection and compatibility together, there were some obstacles that both had to overcome. Francesca quickly realized that Willy had trouble communicating, and the latter felt too burdened by the expectations that were placed on him.
For their last date before the wedding, he took her out for a private dinner in a theater, a gesture that made her feel as though he was opening up to her without her having to ask. On their wedding day, he looked at ease, but at the altar, Francesca told him, “Today, I have decided not to marry you because my wings are telling me to fly much higher.” He agreed, realizing that they had very different personalities, and they both decided not to go through with the wedding.
Francesca and Willy Have Gone Separate Ways Since the Wedding
From the beginning, Willy’s persistent doubts about their relationship led many fans to question whether they could sustain a marriage. They shared that there were fundamental differences to the way they lived on basic issues like finances. While Willy had grown up seeing a working mother, Francesca was used to the idea of her father being the provider. Such differences made everyday life difficult for them and they could not see a future together. They are connected through social media, much like their interactions with the other contestants. There seems to be no indication of the two rekindling their romance, and they appear content with their lives. At the reunion, Francesca even tried giving Willy’s cedar tree pendant, his family heirloom but he refused to take it back.
