If you watched Season 7 of Love is Blind, you probably remember the absolute whiplash of the mid-season title card. One minute, we’re watching Leo Braudy—the art dealer who simply couldn't stop mentioning he was an art dealer—propose to Brittany Wisniewski. The next, a cold, black screen informs us they weren't picked for the Mexico retreat.
What happened to Brittany and Leo Love is Blind fans were left wondering? It felt like a glitch in the Matrix.
The Mystery of the Missing Mexico Trip
Most couples who get engaged in the pods get the all-expenses-paid trip to Cabo. Brittany and Leo got a "thanks, but no thanks" from production. Honestly, it was a first for the show to let us watch the proposal and then immediately boot the couple from the main narrative.
Series creator Chris Coelen eventually spilled the beans to Variety. Basically, it came down to a "gut level" feeling. The production team usually has the budget for five or six couples. Seven got engaged this season. When the producers looked at the lineup, they felt Leo and Brittany were the "least likely" to actually make it to the altar.
They weren't wrong.
Watching the reveal was physically uncomfortable. Leo was all over her, doing this intense horizontal cuddle on a couch that felt more like a wrestling match than a romantic meeting. Meanwhile, Brittany looked like she was trying to calculate the nearest exit. She couldn't even bring herself to say "I love you" back.
"Oh god, what have I done?" she whispered in a confessional. You could see the realization hitting her in real-time. The "energy" she felt in the pods didn't translate to the physical world.
The Miami Trip and the Quiet End
Even though Netflix wouldn't pay for their vacation, Leo and Brittany decided to try a "do-over" on their own dime. They spent a few days in Los Angeles and then headed to Miami.
They tried. They really did.
In Miami, the high of the show finally wore off. Away from the cameras, the reality of their compatibility—or lack thereof—set in. Leo mentioned in interviews that they were sitting at lunch one day, Brittany wearing the ring, and they just looked at each other and asked, "Do we really see this going to marriage?"
The answer was a mutual "no."
There wasn't some explosive fight or a dramatic betrayal in a South Beach club. It was just... flat. Brittany has been very open about the fact that the physical chemistry just never clicked. Sometimes you can love a person's brain but your body just says "nope."
By the end of that Miami trip, the engagement was officially off.
Where Are They Now? (January 2026 Update)
Since the show aired, their lives have taken some pretty wild turns. If you've been following the tabloids, you know Brittany ended up in a high-profile relationship that nobody saw coming.
- Brittany's Rock Star Romance: Shortly after the show, Brittany started dating musician Mod Sun (who famously dated Avril Lavigne). They were a "thing" for a good chunk of 2024 and 2025.
- The Breakup: As of late 2025, Brittany and Mod Sun officially split. She’s currently living in Baltimore, focusing on her fitness organization, Hands On HIIT, and basically living her best single life.
- Leo's Life: Leo is still in the art business. He took a lot of heat for how he acted on the show—specifically the "love triangle" with Hannah and the constant talk about his family's wealth. He’s been doing the podcast circuit, trying to explain his side of the story and showing off a bit more humility.
Believe it or not, the two are actually "besties" now. They talk on the phone for hours. It turns out they were actually great matches—just as friends, not as life partners.
What We Can Learn From the Leo and Brittany Saga
The biggest takeaway here is about intuition.
Brittany knew the second she saw Leo that it wasn't right. She felt it in her gut. Often, we try to "logical" our way into staying with someone because they "check all the boxes" (like Leo did for her on paper). But if the spark isn't there, you can't force it.
If you’re ever in a situation where you’re asking yourself "What have I done?" after a big commitment, take a page out of Brittany's book.
- Trust your body: If your physical reaction to someone is to pull away, listen to that.
- Be honest early: They saved themselves months of heartache by calling it off in Miami instead of trying to drag it to the altar.
- Friendship is a win: Just because a romance fails doesn't mean the connection was a waste.
What happened to Brittany and Leo was ultimately a success story in a weird way. They didn't get a wedding, but they found a lifelong friend and a lot of self-clarity. Plus, we got some of the most memorable "cringe" TV in Love is Blind history.
