While love does not follow a single predictable path, Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind’ demonstrates that when people look beyond physical appearances, they can discover deep and meaningful connections. In the eighth season, many singles took a chance in the pods, but one couple that stood out from the start was Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley. The camaraderie between them was undeniable, and every time they appeared on screen, it felt like something special was unfolding. Their love story developed gradually yet steadily, culminating in a rare and remarkable romance.
Virginia and Devin Connected Over Their Values, But a Lot Remained Unaddressed
The first thing Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley connected over was their shared love of food. However, as they delved deeper into their conversations, they realized they had much more in common than they initially thought—they had attended the same high school and shared similar life experiences. At the same time, Devin also formed a connection with Brittany, drawn to their mutual love of basketball. This left him feeling torn between the two women. While speaking with Virginia, he admitted that he felt they were both holding back in their conversations, which might have been preventing them from getting closer. Virginia gradually opened up about the painful experiences she had endured in past relationships and how they had shaped her outlook on love. Devin listened with genuine empathy, and in one of their heartfelt conversations, he shared his own struggles.
He revealed that after sustaining an injury, he had relied on Ibuprofen for pain relief but eventually became dependent on it. During this difficult time, he lost touch with his faith, but rediscovering it was what ultimately helped him heal and regain control of his life. Feeling a strong sense of trust and understanding with Virginia, Devin decided he wanted to pursue a future with her and told Brittany the same. When it was time to exchange gifts, Devin gave Virginia a necklace with his initials, along with a personalized cutting board engraved with heartfelt words. In return, she gifted him a passport cover that matched hers, hinting at the adventures she hoped to embark on together. She also gave him a camera to capture their journey and her grandmother’s cherished ring, a gesture that spoke volumes about how much she valued their relationship.
When they finally met in person, their excitement was undeniable. They couldn’t stop gushing over each other, and the chemistry between them lingered through the retreat and the real world as well. What truly stood out about them was how they were able to discuss some of the more practical and day-to-day aspects of life, like their finances. They even opened up about their political stands, and it really felt like communication was the key to their relationship. When Virginia mentioned that she might want to get a prenup, Devin did not seem too reluctant. He went through the document and had no hesitation in signing it. However, on their wedding day, after Devin said “yes” to marrying her, she responded with a “no.” She admitted that she wasn’t ready yet and chose to walk away. Although she deeply apologized for hurting Devin and his family, she felt that they hadn’t had enough deep discussions about important matters. She was uncertain about the man she was marrying and decided not to go forward with it.
Virginia and Devin Have Drifted Away From Each Other
It seemed that both Virginia and Devin were genuinely looking forward to building a happy future together, but things ultimately fell apart. While it was a painful decision, Virginia followed her instincts and chose what she felt was best for her. During the reunion, she shared that many of their core values did not align, though she chose not to speak on Devin’s behalf. However, she emphasized her strong support for the LGBTQ+ community, women’s rights over their own bodies, and people of different faiths. Additionally, just before the wedding, she discovered a note from Devin’s friend and ex on his bedside table, along with the fact that he hadn’t shared information about some financial gifts with her. While he reassured her that his ex was now just a friend and clarified the gift situation too, Virginia iterated she would have preferred if he had told her about it himself beforehand. Ultimately, unable to reconcile, the two have gone their separate ways and are now focusing on their individual lives.
