WARNING!!! SPOILERS FOR LOVE IS BLIND SEASON 5 AHEAD!

Love Is Blind season 5 ended dramatically for Stacy Snyder and Izzy Zapata, who decided not to get married on the Love Is Blind season 5 finale. It was apparent Izzy and Stacy weren't likely to get married, forcing the lovebirds to answer questions at the Love Is Blind season 5 reunion when it seemed like there were hints they dated after the show. Did Stacy and Izzy get back together?

Love Is Blind season 5 was a disaster. Only three couples were featured in Mexico due to Renee Poche and Carter Wall's cut from the show, and Taylor Rue left JP Pierce before the trip came to an end. Viewers were left to root for two mismatched couples: Izzy & Stacy and Lydia Velez Gonzalez & Milton Johnson. While Stacy ultimately said, "I don't" at the altar, Lydia and Milton tied the knot.

Izzy Hinted At Reconciliation On Instagram

While he was spotted with a mystery woman after Love Is Blind season 5 and even spawned rumors of filming Perfect Match season 2, Izzy appeared to confirm his relationship with Stacy on Instagram ahead of the season 5 finale. In now-deleted posts, Izzy assured he was "happy he met his fiancé" and responded with a "yes" when asked if he and Stacy were still together. It was unclear whether he deleted the posts because they were inaccurate or because he wasn't allowed to reveal spoilers. Still, after the reunion aired, the mystery surrounding Stacy and Izzy's relationship status finally came to light.

Izzy And Stacy Aren't Together After Love Is Blind Season 5

Izzy and Stacy revealed on the Love Is Blind season 5 reunion they are no longer together, but it was a tumultuous road to get there. The pair explained they took some time to simmer down and reflect on their feelings after Stacy said no at the altar but planned to come back together and see if rekindling their romance off-camera felt the right thing to do. Unfortunately, their initial connection was gone, and Izzy still felt too hurt to take a relationship with Stacy seriously.

A year after their failed wedding, Izzy and Stacy met up at a bar by circumstance. They had deep discussions regarding their past and worked through many unanswered and unaddressed issues. Despite still concluding they weren't meant to be together, Izzy and Stacy shared a kiss. That was ostensibly the end of their romance, but they appeared comfortable sitting next to each other at the reunion and consider each other friends.

Izzy Reconnected With Johnie After Love Is Blind Season 5

Izzy and Johnie revealed they reconnected after Love Is Blind season 5. After taking much-needed space from Stacy, Izzy and Johnie discussed their past issues when they met up at the bar. Chris had left Johnie for another woman, whom he is still dating today, and similarly to how Izzy and Stacy had problems in their relationship to address, Johnie and Izzy did the same. The pair also shared a kiss and tried dating, but it wasn't right between them. Johnie and Izzy are in relationships with other people now, but finding closure was good for them.

Izzy And Stacy Went On An Accidental Double Date

In a funny anecdote from the Love Is Blind season 5 reunion, Izzy and Stacy revealed they had an accidental double date with their current partners. Stacy bought a cooking class for her beau's birthday, and Izzy took his date to the class as well. Unbeknownst to them, the former couple was paired with their new significant others as they enjoyed a cooking class. While it almost sounds too good to be true, the story illustrates how far Izzy and Stacy have come and that they've been able to put aside their issues and become friends.

Izzy and Stacy may not be together after Love Is Blind season 5, but they were able to find closure and become friends. The savvy social media users are likely leveraging each other's fame to give the other a leg up in their influencer status, but that's often the way reality TV shows go. Izzy and Stacy weren't compatible for many reasons, and it's refreshing to see they chose not to get married or stay together. In a season marred by drama, messiness, and incompatibility, that seems the best Love Is Blind viewers could ask for.
