After calling off her engagement to Jordan Keltner on Love Is Blind, Megan Walerius, known to fans as “Sparkle Megan,” appears to have started a new chapter of her life. Recent sightings and a telling reunion teaser have sparked widespread speculation that the wellness entrepreneur is now a mother. Megan has publicly addressed the online commentary, asking for kindness amid the rumors.

A Surprise Appearance

In the weeks following the Love Is Blind season 9 finale, rumors about Megan’s personal life began to circulate. These were fueled by photographs published by The Sun showing a mystery man and an infant at her Denver home. An eyewitness described the man’s frequent comings and goings, suggesting he might be living at the property. The photos specifically showed the man carrying a newborn dressed in a blue onesie and wrapped in a blanket. While Megan was photographed at her home around the same time, she was not pictured directly with the baby, leaving the child’s relation to her unconfirmed.

The speculation intensified with the release of a teaser for the upcoming Love Is Blind reunion. In the clip, co-host Nick Lachey references Megan’s on-screen doubts, asking, “Megan, do you still feel like youโ€™re not cut out to be a mother?” Megan’s reply, “Today, I actually have a little bit of a surprise,” was cut short, leaving viewers to wonder what news she was about to share.

Addressing the Backlash

The rumors emerged just after fans watched Megan’s breakup with Jordan Keltner in the October 22 finale. Her decision to end the relationship was heavily influenced by her reservations about becoming a stepmother to Jordan’s five-year-old son, Luca. In a confessional, she expressed deep uncertainty, stating:

โ€œI donโ€™t think I thought through how challenging it is and how I would need to make a lot of concessions to how I currently live. I mean, maybe Iโ€™m just not cut out to be a stepmomโ€ฆ Honestly, this has me questioning if Iโ€™m even cut out to be a mom.โ€

This context led to some criticism from viewers when baby rumors surfaced. In response, Megan took to her Instagram Stories on the day the finale aired with a clear message for her detractors. She wrote, โ€œI know yโ€™all have had a front row seat to my story through Love Is Blind, but thereโ€™s no room for hate hereโ€”today or ever. Zero patience for negativity, and the block button is putting in serious work today.โ€ She concluded her post with a firm request: โ€œBe kind or be quiet.โ€ She also disabled comments on her most recent Instagram post.

The Original Split with Jordan

Megan and Jordan’s journey on Love Is Blind season 9 ended before they reached the altar. Their connection in the pods was strong, partly built on the fact that Jordan’s son, Luca, has the same type of diabetes as Megan’s late father. However, once they left the pods and entered the real world, significant lifestyle differences became apparent.

Megan expressed concerns about their compatibility, citing Jordan’s “simple” routine, picky eating habits, and the constraints of his schedule as a single parent. She wanted a partner who could travel and have adventures with her, which she felt was difficult with his responsibilities. During their final conversation, she told him, โ€œI still have reservations, and thatโ€™s not how I should be feeling going into my wedding.โ€ Jordan later suggested that he believed their financial differences were a key factor in the split.

Life After the Pods

Filming for Love Is Blind season 9 concluded in early 2024, giving the participants over a year to move on before the show aired. Megan, a 35-year-old wellness entrepreneur, has a background in business marketing and runs her own wellness brand. She has not publicly confirmed the identity of the man seen at her home or the nature of their relationship. Similarly, the connection of the baby to Megan or the man remains unverified.

Jordan has also moved forward, recently focusing on promoting a children’s book he co-wrote, Dear Luca. In a podcast appearance after the finale, he spoke kindly of Megan, noting that she was able to bring out emotional vulnerability in him “in a way that no other woman has ever been able to do.”
