In the latest episodes of Love Is Blind Season 9, engaged couples faced the tough transition from pod fantasy to real-world reality. For fan favorites Megan Walerius and Jordan Keltner, their biggest test came during a house-hunting trip, where a discussion about a $2 million home revealed their different financial situations and left Jordan concerned about his role as a provider.
House Hunting Highlights Financial Differences
In Episode 9, which aired on October 8, 2025, Megan and Jordan began looking at properties in Denver. The episode showed them touring a spacious home with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, spread across about 5,600 square feet. The realtor, Beckett, informed them the property was “in the two-million range.”
Megan was immediately taken with the house. She explained her vision to Jordan, suggesting they could sell her Los Angeles home and use the $1.5 million from that sale as a down payment. For the remaining $500,000, she proposed they “go in together” on a loan.
Jordan’s reaction was one of clear surprise and concern. He confessed to the cameras,
“I think anyone would be so lucky to live in this house, you know? That s*it was so fancy.”
However, he was worried about the financial implications. He expressed his unease about not contributing equally, telling Megan,
“Cause I’m, like, bringing essentially nothing to the table, you know? I wouldn’t say I’m strapped for cash, but I’m being very financially conscious.”
He later concluded that he felt it was “a little too much house for what we need.”
Megan tried to reassure him, stating she didn’t want him to feel he was spending beyond his means. She emphasized her desire to build a real future together, but the moment highlighted a significant hurdle for the couple.
Jordan’s Life as a Single Dad
A major part of Jordan’s story on the show is his role as a single father. He has a four-year-old son named Luca, and his journey as a dad has been a central part of his pod connections. He even brought a photo of his son to the pods.
Jordan’s decision to join the experiment was heavily influenced by the challenges of dating as a single parent. He has been open about Luca’s health, sharing that his son was born with Type 1 diabetes. This created an emotional bond with Megan, who lost her own father to diabetes-related complications.
Professionally, Jordan works as a service manager. He is also a children’s author, inspired by his son. Through his brand, Luca’s Brand, he writes stories designed to spark meaningful conversations with kids and donates a portion of the sales to support children living with Type 1 Diabetes.
A Rocky Road After the Pods
Megan and Jordan, often called “Sparkle Megan and Tattooed Golden Retriever” by fans, got engaged in the pods after Megan chose Jordan over another suitor, Mike. While their initial reveal was full of chemistry, real-life tensions began to surface after they left the pods.
Previews and earlier episodes hinted at conflicts, including Jordan admitting to the other men that he and Megan have communication issues. He mentioned that because he sometimes annoys her, their differing work schedules might be a good thing. The financial discussion about the house is their most significant public challenge yet, forcing them to confront their different lifestyles and financial backgrounds head-on.
Other Couples Face Pod Ghosts
Episode 9, titled “Ghosts of Pods Past,” also featured a reunion party where the engaged couples met with the other singles they dated in the pods. This led to several dramatic revelations:
- Patrick and Kacie: Patrick revealed that he and Kacie had not seen each other one-on-one since leaving the show, despite him believing they were still engaged. He explained that Kacie had told him to inform everyone they were broken up and had refused to return his engagement ring.
- Patrick and Anna: Patrick also reconnected with Anna, who had unexpectedly ghosted him during the pod phase. He admitted that if Anna had stayed in the experiment, he would have gotten engaged to her instead of Kacie.
New episodes of Love Is Blind Season 9 are set to release on Netflix, with Episodes 10 and 11 arriving on October 15 and the season finale on October 22.
