The meeting between Megan, Jordan, and Megan’s family provided one of the most heartfelt moments of Love Is Blind Season 9. The emotional lunch, which took place on the anniversary of Megan’s father’s passing, saw Jordan win over her mom and sister, who were pleasantly surprised by their connection and gave their full blessing for the marriage.
The Setting of the Meeting
Megan’s mom, Jayne, and sister, Jessica, met Jordan for the first time over lunch. The family brought balloons to mark the occasion, which Megan joked was “not subtle” as everyone laughed. The meeting was particularly significant for Megan, as it coincided with a difficult family anniversary.
Megan shared with the cameras, “It’s the fourth anniversary of my dad’s passing, and… that’s always heavy on my heart. And the fact that I get to spend that with my mom and my sister, and introduce them to my fiance, the man I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with, that’s huge.“
The conversation began with lighthearted moments, with Jayne noticing that Megan and Jordan had coordinated their outfits and complimenting Jordan on his tattoos. Jordan broke the ice with humor, joking that he had a 17-year-old son, which got everyone laughing.
A Connection That Feels Like Fate
The tone of the meeting deepened when the discussion turned to Jordan’s son, Luca. Megan explained how she discovered that Luca has type 1 diabetes, the same condition her late father had. This shared experience had been a pivotal moment in the pods, making Megan wonder if her father had brought Jordan into her life.
As Megan recounted this, both her mother and sister became emotional. Jessica then shared a powerful story about a dream she had involving their father.
“It was like I was talking with Dad, and he was just telling me, ‘His son is like me. His son is like me.’ Like, this isn’t just a coincidence. That’s the only way I could get her to know. And there you go,” said Jessica.
This sense of fate continued when Jessica recalled the story of her own parents’ first meeting, a tale that strangely mirrored Megan and Jordan’s experience. Jessica explained through tears how her father had described the moment he first saw her mother: “I still remember him telling the story of the elevator doors parting and my mom being in the elevator, and how he knew at first sight that that was who he was going to marry.“
Navigating Practical Questions
The family lunch also covered practical aspects of Megan and Jordan’s future life together. The couple discussed how they were navigating their different food preferences, with Jordan describing himself as “pretty simple” while Megan’s sister noted that Megan was more “adventurous.”
When Jessica asked Jordan to describe Megan in three words, he didn’t hesitate, calling her “Adventurous, ambitious, and beautiful.“
Megan’s mom emphasized the importance of communication in a relationship. Megan opened up about her past struggles, sharing, “In my past relationships, I’ve been so worried about bringing these things up that somebody’s gonna leave me.” Her mother became emotional as Jordan assured Megan he would not leave.
The couple also talked about how they handle disagreements. Jordan noted that when Megan had a hard day and waited before telling him, he didn’t like that she waited. He explained, “The two of them talked it through and that there was no yelling.“
A Blessing for the Marriage
The most significant moment of the meeting came when Megan’s mom and sister gave their official blessing for the marriage. Jayne told Jordan, “We are on board and thought he was awesome.” She then directly asked if he had asked for Megan’s hand in marriage.
Jordan revealed he was waiting for the right moment, which came when Megan went to the restroom. He then spoke privately with Jayne and Jessica, telling them, “I love her to the moon and back,” and formally asked for their blessing to marry Megan, which they gladly gave.
In a joint confession after the meeting, Megan’s mom shared her feelings: “I am just overwhelmed. I mean, I came into this evening not feeling like I was gonna come out this way. I am just pleasantly surprised what a nice fit they are.“
Jessica added that Jordan seemed “very down-to-earth” and “very humble,” confirming their positive impression of him.
A Strong Couple Facing Real-World Challenges
While Megan and Jordan, often called “Sparkle Megan and Jordan” by fans, have emerged as one of the strongest couples this season, they still face real-world challenges. Their different financial situations came to a head when Megan toured a house she was considering purchasing, with a budget of around $2 million.
Jordan, a blue-collar service manager, has struggled with how he would fit into Megan’s life as the primary breadwinner. He has expressed not wanting to feel like a freeloader or that she is compromising on the life she wants. Despite these normal couple disagreements, they have yet to have any major, relationship-ending fights like some of their fellow contestants.
The meeting with Megan’s family marked a crucial step forward for the couple as they continue to figure out how their lives will merge, especially concerning when Megan will meet Jordan’s son Luca off-camera.
