Many Love Is Blind viewers have accused Lydia Velez Gonzalez of joining the Netflix reality show for the wrong reasons. The popular dating show has always featured controversial cast members. However, Lydia has seemingly taken the top spot for being the most unlikable. The 32-year-old geologist joined Love Is Blind season 5 to find her true love, but her preferences made it clear she wasn’t there to fall for someone blindly. Lydia connected to a few men, mainly Uche Okoroha and Milton Johnson. Ultimately, she picked the latter as her significant other. The Love Is Blind season 5 finale was released on October 13 and featured Lydia and Milton’s wedding.
While the couple looked excited about their special day, many fans felt the opposite. Viewers took to Reddit in a thread started by Positive_Issue887 to discuss how Lydia’s actions prove her "desperation," that she didn’t want a marriage but, rather, a wedding. Redditors discussed how she was “desperate” and “immature” to have her TV ceremony, that she decided to tie the knot with a 25-year-old “child.” A Reddit user commented, “She’s just desperate for this as idk validation,” adding that Lydia's behavior was why Uche ran away. Another Redditor wrote, “When she said ‘I love you because you chose me’ It came off as soooo desperate.”
Lydia & Milton's Love Is Blind Relationship Explained
Love Is Blind fans are probably right to call out Lydia, as her connection with Milton did seem a bit odd. The Puerto Rican native initially fell for Izzy Zapata, who was perfect for her age. But the 31-year-old man dumped her mid-way, which pushed her to find another man. There was a drastic age gap between Lydia and Milton, but they connected anyway. Initially insecure about his age, she continued the relationship, despite the red flags. Milton’s family members also called out the Millennial woman and the Gen Z man’s connection. His mother said, “What someone 30 would be interested in a 24-year-old.”
Lydia and Milton did tie the knot during Love Is Blind season 5. However, it is unknown if they made their marriage work. The Puerto Rican reality star and her petroleum engineer husband have many differences. However, the biggest issue seems to be Lydia’s desperation to get what she wants. If the Love Is Blind star continues behaving like she does, it won’t be long before she loses her connection with Milton and his family. She may also end up divorced, like many other pairs. Love Is Blind’s relationships have a shockingly low success rate.
The wedding of Lydia and Milton was the only successful ceremony in Love Is Blind season 5. Therefore, there is a small chance that the pair can shock their critics by making things work. While Milton isn’t mature enough, he can potentially grow after marriage. Similarly, Lydia can also improve her personality. For now, neither Milton nor Lydia have posted anything suggesting they are together. Hence, it will be interesting to see what they post in the coming weeks and their reactions to their big wedding on Love Is Blind.
Love Is Blind season 5 is now streaming on Netflix.
