The Pods
Get to Know Jordan Keltner, the Single Dad Turning Heads on ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 9
[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers from Love Is Blind Season 9 Episodes 1-6.]
Season 9 of Love Is Blind has had its fair share of lookalike guys — seriously, between Joe Ferrucci, Brenden Guthrie, Mike Brockway, and the rest, it sometimes felt like the Spider-Man meme where they’re all pointing at each other. But one contestant stood out from the crowd: Jordan Keltner.
Jordan isn’t just another face in the pods. He’s a single dad with sleeves of tattoos, an easy grin, and what Taylor Swift imagined when she sang “a tattooed golden retriever.” The 30-year-old wears his heart on his sleeve (literally and emotionally), and fans are already rooting for him to go the distance.
Whether he makes it all the way to the altar remains to be seen, but one thing’s certain: Jordan has officially stolen the spotlight., So, who is Jordan Keltner? Here’s everything you need to know about Jordan, his son, his relationship status, and more.
Does Jordan have a child?
Yes, and it’s a huge part of his story. From the very first episode, Jordan shared that one of the main reasons he signed up for Love Is Blind was the difficulty of dating as a single dad. It’s something he brought up quickly with his matches, who all seemed to take the news in stride (though Megan Walerius was admittedly a little surprised when he casually mentioned his vasectomy, but they’re hoping it’s reversible!).
Jordan’s son, Luca, was four years old at the time of filming. Jordan even brought a photo of his son to the pods and proudly showed it to his new fiancée at the reveal.
One of the most heartfelt moments came when Jordan opened up about Luca being born with diabetes and how they’ve navigated his diagnosis. This became an especially emotional connection point for Sparkle Megan, who lost her father to diabetes-related complications.
As for whether we’ll meet Luca onscreen? Jordan made it clear that the decision rests with Luca’s mom — and honestly, we respect that boundary.
Where does Jordan live?
Jordan hasn’t shared his exact address (thankfully, reality TV hasn’t gone that far yet), but all Love Is Blind contestants this season are based in Denver, Colorado. He even features Denver in his Instagram bio, so it’s safe to say that’s home base for this single-dad golden retriever.
What does Jordan do for a living?
By day, Jordan works as a service manager, though he hasn’t revealed too many details about that role on the show. But that’s not his only gig. Jordan is also an author of children’s books, inspired by his son, Luca.
Through his brand, Luca’s Brand, Jordan writes heartfelt Dear Luca stories designed to spark meaningful conversations with kids. Even better, the company donates $1 from every book sold to support children living with Type 1 Diabetes, a cause close to Jordan’s heart since Luca was born with the condition.
He’s also an avid supporter of Life For a Child, an organization that helps provide life-saving diabetes care around the world. In short: Jordan isn’t just looking for love in the pods, he’s out here trying to make the world a little brighter for kids, too.
Who was Jordan dating in the pods?
In a season overflowing with love triangles, Jordan’s approach was refreshingly straightforward: he zoned in on Sparkle Megan early on. The single dad wanted some of those sparkles! Their conversations ranged from deep (bonding over supporting loved ones with diabetes) to flirty (Megan suspecting he had BDE) to surprisingly practical (discussing his vasectomy and whether it could be reversed).

Still, even with his focus on Megan, Jordan inevitably landed in the season’s first love square, competing with Blake Anderson and Mike for her heart. Once Blake left, it came down to Jordan versus Mike, and in the end, Megan chose Jordan over Mike.
Did Jordan get engaged in the pods?
Yes! Jordan and Megan’s engagement was one of the final ones we saw before all of the couples jetted off to Mexico. After a long pod-courtship, his proposal felt like it came a little out of nowhere, but Megan was all in, laughing and crying as she said yes.
The reveal moment only confirmed their chemistry: Jordan beaming, Megan glowing, and both clearly thrilled to be taking the next step. They headed to Mexico as one of the season’s most promising couples.
Of course, previews hint at some storm clouds ahead, especially when it comes to tricky topics like income differences while house-hunting.
