When Iyanna began the pod process on Season 2 of “Love Is Blind,” she was committed to being as honest and open as possible with her potential love interests. As she grew closer to Jarrette, she shared some deeply personal experiences with him. This level of vulnerability and authenticity mattered to Iyanna when it came to finding love, even if it meant that she’d have to share these intimate details of her past with a wider audience.
Speaking exclusively with The List, Iyanna said, “I think it was something that I had to figure out if I was comfortable with before even going on the show. I just wouldn’t feel comfortable marrying someone who didn’t know those things about me. So, it was something where I had a ‘come to me’ moment and just said, ‘Iyanna, it’s something that needs to be done if you really want to find love on this.’ It was still nonetheless uncomfortable, but definitely necessary.”
Iyanna went on to say that the process of building a relationship through the medium of reality television taught her valuable lessons about herself beyond her capacity for being vulnerable.
