Love Is Blind star Stacy Snyder is dating after declining to marry Izzy Zapata at the altar, and her new man is a familiar face for Married At First Sight fans. Stacy, who met Izzy during the pod phase of Love Is Blind season 5, was one of the few singles to get through the experiment with her partner. Though her relationship was interesting to follow, the trust she felt with Izzy wasn’t enough to get her to say “I do” at the altar. Though the pair tried to work through their issues, Stacy left Love Is Blind alone.
In a post shared between Stacy’s Instagram and Ryan Ignasiak’s, the Love Is Blind star confirmed that she’s dating the MAFS season 13 alum. Stacy posted a video of the couple watching the new season of Love Is Blind, captioning it, “🍿 The Couple’s Couch! 🍿 Watch us drink and chat about the new season of Netflix’s Love Is Blind! Y’all voted for us to drink anytime someone said, “baby,” or, “connection.”
Stacy continued her post, “So yeah- we got wasted and only made it to episode 4…Oh yeah and I’m dating @ryanignacho.” The cavalier announcement was met with excitement from fans.
Oh yeah and I’m dating @ryanignacho
Stacy & Ryan’s Reality TV Pasts Explained
While Stacy was casual with her relationship announcement, Ryan’s response proved the couple is a great fit. “I’m just happy AT&T figured their stuff out today in time for me to know about this,” Ryan joked in the comments section, making it clear the couple share a similar sense of humor. While Ryan has been out of the public eye since his time on Married At First Sight season 13, Stacy’s season of Love Is Blind is less than a year old, keeping her on the radar of most fans who are currently watching Love Is Blind season 6.
Stacy’s Love Is Blind relationship was difficult for fans to watch crumble, as the pair’s connection seemed to be strong before it became obvious that Izzy was keeping things from Stacy. Izzy believed he was in the position to get married, but Stacy didn’t agree. On Married At First Sight season 13, Ryan was matched with Brett Layton, who he seemed to connect with, but the couple found themselves in turmoil quickly, splitting up before the dreaded MAFS decision day. When Brett heard Ryan was on a dating app, the couple’s marriage splintered and they ultimately decided to split up.
While Stacy and Ryan’s past relationships on the two similar series didn’t work out, it appears the couple has been together for quite some time. Stacy, who revealed she was dating someone on the Love Is Blind season 5 reunion special, has clearly bonded over the experiences she had on the series with Ryan, who can likely understand where she’s coming from. As the MAFS and Love Is Blind alums continue their relationship, it’ll be interesting to see just how lasting their love can be.
