Johnie Maraist may not have gotten engaged on Love Is Blind season 5, but there's still buzz about her new boyfriend after the show. After developing a solid connection with Izzy Zapata and Chris Fox in the pods, Johnie ultimately prioritized Izzy, who chose Stacy Snyder. When Johnie tried to go back to Chris, he picked himself. However, they dated after leaving the pods.

While Chris and Johnie broke up after Love Is Blind season 5, they dated for a while, as seen in the disastrous BBQ episode of the show. Chris sheepishly defended Johnie's honor as Izzy and Stacy viciously attacked her. Izzy later apologized to Johnie, but Stacy claimed Johnie badmouthed her and acted like a bully toward her from the pods into the real world. It was a mess, and it's unsurprising that Johnie and Chris' relationship only lasted a few more weeks after that. However, after the reunion, Johnie unveiled her new boyfriend on Instagram. Who is he?

Who Is Johnie Maraist's Boyfriend?

After the Love Is Blind season 5 reunion aired, Johnie hard-launched her boyfriend, Alex Yovanovic, on Instagram. The photo was captioned with a Taylor Swift lyric, "hell was the journey but it brought me heaven," followed by a light blue heart emoji and the line, "happy one year, Alex - thank you for showing me what true love is." Alex's profile reveals he is a structural aerospace engineer at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX. He previously attended Texas Tech and has worked with NASA. The tall and handsome scientist seems to be the perfect match for lawyer Johnie, and their past year together has been filled with love and adventure.

Chris Cheated On Johnie After Love Is Blind

In a shocking twist revealed during the Love Is Blind season 5 reunion, Chris admitted he cheated on Johnie. It was confirmed at the BBQ that Chris and Johnie were in a relationship, but the weekend after, Johnie celebrated her birthday with friends, and Chris had a wedding to go to out of town. He met someone and began seeing her just weeks later. When pointedly asked if he cheated, he uncomfortably admitted he had. Chris and Johnie seemed to have no love lost or hard feelings between them, but it was difficult to watch a self-proclaimed "nice guy" admit on a Netflix reality TV show he would cheat on someone he loved.

Johnie endured mistreatment, heartbreak, and drama on Love Is Blind, but she ultimately found the love of her life outside the show with her astronaut boyfriend, Alex. The pair have been together for over a year and seem very happy. Hopefully, Chris also has a great relationship with his girlfriend, whom he has yet to reveal on social media. While Love Is Blind season 6 needs to make some changes, there were some happy endings in season 5.
