The Love Is Blind: Italy Reunion episode brought a clear answer to the most asked question. When hosts Benedetta and Fabio asked if they were still a couple, Alessandro Bianchin and Hyoni Song responded by showing their wedding rings to the cameras. The reunion, which Netflix released on December 22, 2025, confirmed the pair has stayed together since their televised wedding. They are the only couple from the first season to have a lasting marriage.
The Reunion Reveals and Emotional Flashbacks
The special episode featured new footage from the couple’s life after the show ended. This included intimate scenes from their legal marriage ceremony and a subsequent vacation to Egypt. Watching these clips made both Hyoni and Alessandro emotional. Hyoni shared that seeing those moments reminded her of everything they had to overcome to find happiness together.
The trip to Egypt highlighted their different personalities. Hyoni joked that she prepared a detailed PowerPoint presentation to plan the journey, while Alessandro preferred to be spontaneous and adventurous. They shared a lighthearted memory from the desert, with Hyoni saying, “We made love in the desert under the stars, it was very nice”. Following Egypt, they traveled to South Korea so Alessandro could meet Hyoni’s parents.
Navigating Real-Life Challenges and Arguments
During the reunion, the couple openly discussed the difficulties they faced after the fairy-tale wedding. The biggest issue was deciding when to move in together. Hyoni felt strong external pressure to cohabit immediately from friends and family who kept asking about their plans. Alessandro, however, wanted to wait before taking that step.
This disagreement led to significant conflict. Alessandro admitted it resulted in “one or two major arguments a day”. Seeing how this was damaging their relationship, he changed his position. He told Hyoni, “Come live with me. Just come”. They eventually moved in together and renovated a new home, a process Alessandro described as “very challenging”. Hyoni added that they had to remove all the wallpaper because she is allergic to dust.
Alessandro also mentioned that visiting South Korea helped him understand new aspects of Hyoni’s personality that were not clear to him before. He emphasized that doing things together, even in difficult situations, was crucial for their bond.
The Reality of Building a Lasting Love
In the reunion, Hyoni reflected on the difference between falling in love on the show and building a real marriage. She explained that the initial attraction in the pods was “blind,” but true love begins when you see your partner’s imperfections and face hard situations together.
“Despite all this, if you can love that person, if you can accept that person for who they really are, then you can finally love that person deeply,” Hyoni said.
Alessandro agreed, stating that their marriage works because of daily dedication and effort. He added, “It’s that dedication, day after day, that makes you love the other person more and more and makes you feel so good. That’s love”.
Updates on the Other Couples
The reunion provided updates on the rest of the cast, with several major reveals. Karen and Nicola, who married during the finale, shocked everyone by announcing they split up just days after the wedding. Gergana and Parmi, often called the “Romeo and Juliet” of the season, tried to reconnect after the show but ultimately decided their paths were no longer aligned.
Ludovica, who was left at the altar by Davide, spoke about her recovery. She reflected that she “dodged a bullet” after learning more about his behavior. Davide faced questions about a female friend who had a key to his house during the experiment, which he admitted he was “seeing… occasionally”.
Giovanni brought his signature chaotic energy to the reunion, offering defensive and opinionated responses to questions about his on-screen behavior.

Life After the Reunion and Social Media Presence
Since the reunion aired, Alessandro and Hyoni have maintained a relatively private life. On December 22, 2025, the day the reunion released, Alessandro posted an Instagram Reel with the caption “Expectations? Aspettative?” using show-related hashtags. This has been his only direct social media post about the reunion. He has not announced any new television projects, partnerships, or agency deals, focusing instead on his life with Hyoni.
Hyoni has also shared her positive feelings about the experience on social media. In one post, she wrote about “Knowing, meeting and saying yes at the altar to a person you know in total darkness. It was such a wonderful experience”. Their ongoing social media activity suggests they continue to support each other.
The complete first season of Love Is Blind: Italy, including all main episodes and the reunion special, is available for streaming globally on Netflix.
