Megan Walerius Sparkles in ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 9: All About the Standout
[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers from Love Is Blind Season 9 Episodes 1-6.]
When Megan Walerius introduced herself as “Sparkle Megan” in the Love Is Blind Season 9 pods, no one knew what to expect. The nickname was quirky, a little over the top, and definitely made an impression. But against all odds, she quickly became a fan favorite — not just for her bold personality, but because she was juggling not one, not two, but three serious connections.
At 35, Sparkle Megan is a self-proclaimed girlboss who knows her worth. An Aries, a family-first girlie, and an entrepreneur, she’s not afraid to ask for a lot because she believes she has a lot to give. But who exactly is Sparkle Megan, and where does that nickname come from?! Did she get engaged to anyone? Let’s break down all the key facts you need to know.
Why is she called Sparkle Megan?
Early in the pods, Megan explained that her friends have long called her “Sparkle Megan.” The reason? She loves glittery, shiny things, such as sequins, sparkles, and rhinestones — you name it. She even showed up to the pods in sequined sneakers, fully living up to the brand.
It’s no surprise that her Instagram bio proudly reads: ✨ Sparkle is my love language ✨
Where does Megan live?
While Megan hasn’t shared specifics about her address (for obvious reasons), Love Is Blind contestants this season are based in Denver, Colorado. All signs point to Sparkle Megan living there as well. She did specify that she lives alone and owns her house.
What does Megan do for a living?
Sparkle Megan isn’t just a nickname; it’s a lifestyle. And yes, it comes with the kind of financial comfort that lets her roll up in a luxury car (one of her matches even tried to guess the make).

Before stepping into the pods, Megan built a successful career in the oil and gas industry, but the grind of her job took a toll on her health. About five years ago, she pivoted into wellness, becoming a Holistic Nutrition Consultant and founding Veyda, a brand centered on clean living and personal transformation.
On her website, Megan explains: “I partner with brands that align with my values—prioritizing wellness, clean living, and personal transformation.” She also holds a degree in business marketing from Arizona State University, is a certified yoga instructor, and continues to expand her footprint in the health and wellness space.
If we had to place a bet? Sparkle Megan is positioning herself perfectly to make the leap into wellness influencer territory after the show. Watch this space.
What car does Megan drive?
Speaking of her luxury car, Megan never actually revealed the make and model that she owns, despite her match throwing a few options out there. She also hasn’t shared any photos of her car on Instagram.
Maybe we’ll catch a glimpse of it in future episodes! Is it decked out in sparkles, we wonder?
Who did Megan date in the pods?
In a Love Is Blind first, Sparkle Megan found herself in a love square — yes, three matches at once. Megan was dating Blake Anerson, Mike Brockway, and Jordan Keltner in the pods, navigating a whirlwind of connections.
Blake exited first, leaving Megan with two options and the classic reality‑show love triangle. Her connection with Jordan deepened over heartfelt conversations, especially about his son Luca’s diabetes — a topic close to Megan’s heart, as her father also lived with the condition and faced serious complications. Alongside these meaningful talks, there were lighter moments, too, including Megan teasingly suspecting Jordan had BDE (Big Dick Energy). She even considered friend-zoning him, but quickly changed her mind.
Then there was Mike, the other corner of the triangle. Their conversations were lighter and flirtier, with Megan admitting he was very much her “usual type.” The pair bonded over shared values, especially around health and wellness, sparking a playful chemistry that kept things complicated. But in the pods, there could only be one fiancé.
Did Megan get engaged in the pods?
In the end, Megan chose Jordan. She ended things with Mike, even though she admitted in the real world she might have gone for him, and accepted Jordan’s proposal with tears, a grin, and a resounding yes. Jordan, clearly smitten, had already started calling her “Mrs. Keltner.”

Her reveal dress may not have had sparkles, but it was a bold, hot pink number we definitely approve of. Of course, Megan stayed true to her name with a pair of sparkly shoes because Sparkle Megan never disappoints. Jordan certainly agreed, describing her as his “ideal woman” and joking about “putting the vasectomy to good use.”
Things seemed rosy in Mexico for the newly engaged couple… at least until a group hang took a turn. After the guys got a little too tipsy, tensions flared, and Megan candidly told Jordan he was irritating her. Drama in paradise, indeed.
The preview suggests more to come for this couple, including differing expectations on money and perhaps an old flame from the pods… let’s wait and see.
