The Love Is Blind: Italy reunion confirmed Karen and Nicola’s breakup, but the most discussed moments were Nicola’s video messages to Karen, which viewers found strange and inconsistent. Fans on social media are questioning why he would send these emotional pleas for another chance after failing to give a simple apology in private. The December 24, 2025 reunion special offered closure for some couples and fresh drama for others, but Nicola’s public display has become the central talking point.
Karen And Nicola’s Relationship Ends After A Single Argument
Karen and Nicola’s marriage was one of the few success stories from the pods. Their wedding on December 15, 2025, was filled with genuine emotion and family support. Karen even joked with Nicola after the ceremony, telling him, “We’re married! With the ring and all! Don’t you ever take it off?”. However, the reunion revealed their relationship collapsed just days later. A logistical plan to spend time together in Rome after the wedding triggered their only major fight.
Karen, living in Rome, booked a five-star hotel for Nicola, who lives in Milan, to make their first days as a married couple special. Despite Nicola asking for something “normal,” Karen wanted to treat him. He interpreted her gesture as belittling him financially, leading to a heated argument where he said “very, very mean things”. What ended the relationship for Karen was not the argument itself, but the total lack of an apology afterward. She said she expected “at least a call to apologise,” but it never came.
Karen stated: “I needed him to understand what he did, not just move past it.”
The reunion also clarified a technicality: due to missing paperwork, their wedding was never legally finalized, meaning they were not technically husband and wife.
Nicola’s Video Messages: Public Pleas Versus Private Silence
During the reunion, viewers saw several video messages Nicola sent to Karen after their split. These clips showed him emotionally expressing regret and asking for another chance. This public display became the show’s most confusing element for fans.
Nicola admitted in the reunion that his approach to conflict was to avoid it. He told the hosts, “I thought letting time pass was enough”. This explains why he never made the private apology Karen needed. Instead of addressing the issue directly with her, he later sent these video messages, which were recorded privately but shown publicly on television. The contrast between his private inaction and his public expressions of remorse is what viewers find strange. He told Karen during the reunion, “I didn’t mean any of the words that I said… I really feel like an idiot”.
Social Media Reactions: Fans Call Nicola’s Behavior “Really Weird”
On platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, fans are dissecting Nicola’s actions. The overwhelming reaction is one of confusion, with many people using the word “weird” to describe his decision to record video messages instead of simply calling Karen.
- The Apology Gap: Many fans question why he could express regret so clearly on video for the cameras but could not pick up the phone to say “I’m sorry” when it mattered most. They see the videos as a performance, not genuine accountability.
- Questioning Intentions: Some viewers speculate that the video messages were a strategy to win back Karen, while others believe they were meant to shape his public image on the show. Comments suggest that if he truly understood his mistakes, he would have fixed them privately long before the reunion was filmed.
- Mixed Feelings on Reconciliation: During the reunion, Nicola said he still loves Karen and wants to “try to win her back”. Karen, however, stated that the relationship is a “closed door,” though she wants to keep him in her life “in what way, we don’t know”. This leaves their future very uncertain and adds to the public’s perception of their story as confusing and unresolved.
Other Reunion Revelations: Davide’s House Key Controversy
While Karen and Nicola’s story took center stage, other cast members had unresolved issues. The reunion revisited the controversy around Davide and a woman from his past who had keys to his house.
Davide was questioned about his emotional availability when he entered the pods, especially by Ludovica, with whom he had a connection. He clarified the nature of that previous relationship, stating:
Davide explained: “Absolutely, because the girl I was seeing before, who had the keys to my house, was someone I was seeing occasionally. I was never in a relationship with her.”
He confirmed this happened before filming and not during the experiment. Karen added a layer to the story, recalling a conversation in Milan where Davide told her he didn’t sleep with Ludovica because he wasn’t physically attracted to her. When Karen told her then-partner Nicola about this, he allegedly replied, “Yeah, but he has someone else”.

A Cast Member Criticizes The Show’s Production
The reunion was not the only source of drama. Before it aired, cast member Parmi publicly criticized the show. On his Instagram stories, he announced he would no longer discuss Love Is Blind: Italy, citing a need to protect his peace of mind.
Parmi claimed the show’s editing created “unnecessary discomfort”. He wrote, “I want to say this with respect and sincerity: I will no longer talk about Love Is Blind Italy”. He asked followers to stop contacting him about the program, though he remains open to discussions about general life topics. His comments add context to the intense reactions and complicated feelings some participants have after filming ends.
