In the world of reality TV shows, where many emphasize looks and appearances, Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind: Mexico‘ focuses on fostering soulful connections. The show challenges contestants to get to know their partners solely through conversations, meeting in person only when they are ready to get engaged. During the first season, Irais Ramirez and Rene Angeles discovered each other just as they began to doubt the experiment. They found companionship and a mutual understanding of their desires and future aspirations. Fans of the season quickly recognized their potential and hoped for a happy ending.
Irais and Rene Gave Their Relationship a Second Chance
Irais Ramirez began the season with a strong connection to Fernando Hernandez, competing against Alejandra Caletti and Silvia Alejandra for his affection. When Fernando chose someone else for his future, Irais was heartbroken. Despite having had a few conversations with Rene Angeles, she hadn’t given him much thought. Nevertheless, Irais decided to take a chance and asked Fernando if he could see her with Rene since he knew her better. Fernando encouraged her to pursue it, believing it could be a good match, and Irais proceeded to meet Rene across the pods.
During their first conversation, Rene addressed Irais’s recent absence, and she responded with complete honesty. She expressed concern over his enjoyment of drinking and partying, which reminded her of past issues with an ex-partner who struggled with alcohol dependency and had subjected her to domestic violence. Irais feared falling into a similar pattern with Rene. Rene reassured her that drinking was simply a social activity for him and that he had no intentions of controlling her. Feeling more at ease, Irais found their conversation to flow naturally. They both felt their visions for the future aligned well, and Rene gifted her a beaded necklace, which she saw as a meaningful affirmation of his feelings. Not long after that, they decided to get engaged.
When Irais and Rene finally met face-to-face, she was initially surprised by his appearance. The piercings and his overall look led her to view him as a potential “player,” which unsettled her. Her nerves took over and she decided to exit the season but soon decided that Rene needed another chance. She reevaluated her priorities and the two of them met off-camera. They surprised the other couples at a gathering and told them that they had decided to give their relationship a chance and were thinking of a future ahead. From meeting each other’s families to living together and finding a daily routine, they decided to give it all and make it work. However, by the time the wedding day approached, many questions arose in Rene’s heart. At the altar, he told Irais that he could not get married, especially since his father was not there.
Irais and Rene Are Not Romantically Involved Anymore
Although Irais and Rene did not end up getting married, they both expressed interest in taking things slowly and dating for a while to see where their relationship might go. Rene had mentioned that if the marriage proposal had been directed at her first, she would have confidently said, “I do,” without any hesitation. However, despite their genuine efforts to build a meaningful connection outside the show’s cameras, their relationship has not blossomed as hoped.
The couple continues to follow each other on Instagram, but their online interactions have been minimal. Both Irais and Rene genuinely invested their efforts into making the relationship work, but the physical distance and demanding real-world schedules created barriers to their reconnection. As a result, they have chosen to lead their lives independently of each other. During the reunion they shared that Irais’ life in Mexico City and Rene’s work in Guadalajara was the biggest problems and there were times when they felt they could not be there for each other in difficult times. Irais shared that life in the real world was very different and they had different ideas if what it would look like. She apologized for judging him on his looks and explained where she was coming from, as an abuse survivor. The two of them are on friendly terms and there is no bad blood between them.
