What Happened Between ‘Love Is Blind’s Jimmy & Chelsea? A Guide to Their History

Now that Jimmy Presnell is heading back to our screens for Season 4 of Perfect Match, it’s time that we look back at one of the most dramatic relationships in Love Is Blind history: Jimmy and his once-fiancée, Chelsea Blackwell.

Jimmy and Chelsea appeared on Love Is Blind Season 6, where he proposed to her after she made a now-infamous self-comparison to Megan Fox in the pods. Even though they didn’t say ‘I do,’ anyone who’s kept up with the duo knows that they have kept in touch far more than most Love Is Blind exes. They even lived in the same apartment building!

Below, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about Jimmy and Chelsea’s complicated relationship, from Love Is Blind to what she’s said about his Perfect Match debut and the possibility of getting back together.

Are Jimmy Presnell and Chelsea Blackwell still together?

Let’s get this one out of the way right off the bat: No, Jimmy and Chelsea are not still together. The two have not dated since their engagement ended in early 2023, and since then, a lot has changed for them as individuals. Jimmy underwent a massive hair transplant in the fall of 2025, revealing that he spent $11,000 on his new look. At the same time, Chelsea told her followers that she lost over 30 pounds on GLP-1 medication.

What happened between Jimmy and Chelsea on Love Is Blind?

Jimmy and Chelsea instantly connected in the pods, despite having connections with both Jess Vestal and Trevor Sova, respectively. Calling things off with Jess, Jimmy told viewers, “My emotional connection with Chelsea is unmatched. She understands me, she loves me, she checks every box I’ve ever looked for.” After making the tough decision to call things off with Trevor as well, Chelsea said yes to Jimmy’s proposal, despite him telling her that he was thinking of leaving that morning, having been “drained” by the process.

Once the duo left together, Jimmy confessed to feeling that Chelsea lied to him about her looks with her Megan Fox comparison. As soon as they left their romantic getaway, things got even more complicated when Jimmy told Chelsea she was too “clingy” after she told him she wasn’t feeling the love.

Why did Jimmy and Chelsea break up?

Jimmy and Chelsea made it all the way to the altar, despite multiple fights along the way, namely about his friendship with an ex. There, Jimmy told Chelsea that he had “no doubt” that they were right for each other, but that he couldn’t marry her yet. In response, Chelsea explained, “I feel like you weren’t even trying to get married … I feel like you’ve known you were going to say no this entire time and you just wasted my time.”

Are Chelsea and Jimmy dating anyone now?

Chelsea and Jimmy have become very close friends over the past three years, and even lived in the same Miami apartment building for a few months. While this sparked reunion rumors last year, the two maintain that they are just friends. During a recent Q&A, Chelsea was asked if it hurts to be friends with Jimmy after breaking up. She responded, “There’s no denying that at all. What we had was very real of course and on a silver platter for the world to see.

She continued, “But we also filmed three years ago. There is so much space where we both really have worked on ourselves and it’s really special to be able to have each other. This industry and wild and we went into it together. So forever grateful for that.”
