‘Love Is Blind’s Chelsea Blackwell Gives Rare Relationship Update After 30-Lb. Weight Loss
Chelsea Blackwell found fame while looking for love on Love Is Blind Season 6. Although her relationship with match Jimmy Presnell wasn’t meant to be, she’s now in a happy relationship.
Having found love with her partner, Tim Teeter, Blackwell is no longer on the hunt for her soulmate. The Season 6 star recently opened up about their special bond and plans together as they conquer their health goals.
The 32-year-old shared with Us Weekly that the two have started a journey together. Beginning their courtship in 2024, the couple hard-launched their love story with the world last October. Now, five months later, they have become each other’s support system. Talking about her experience with the weight-loss drug GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1), an injection made for individuals to manage their Type 2 diabetes and obesity, she divulged, “He’s doing Optavia [a GLP-1 brand] with me.”

She continued, “We work out together and plan our meals together. He’s the best motivator, supporter, and partner in this journey.”
Blackwell started using Optavia four months ago and has lost over 30 pounds. Prior to that, the Netflix reality TV star had gone under the knife for a tummy tuck.
“Deciding to undergo surgery was a no-brainer, but you must take care of your body after a surgery like that,” Blackwell explained. “A lot of people are unaware that if you don’t work out or eat healthy the weight goes to other parts of your body — and that’s no good.”
To help maintain what she calls a “healthy lifestyle,” she works together with her coach, Tiffany. “My coach is the best. She is always accessible, knows the answer to every question, and holds me accountable,” Blackwell said. “With my busy schedule, she’ll give me the best takeout or restaurant options if I’m not able to cook a healthy meal at home.”
