Love is Blind Season 8 is coming, and it’s shaping up to be the season with less representation for our communities. The popular Netflix reality show, which has spawned three different Latin American versions (Love is Blind: Brazil, Love is Blind: Mexico and Love is Blind: Argentina) will premiere season 8 on Valentine’s Day.
For those unfamiliar with the format, the show follows a group of people who get to know each other without setting eyes on one another and have to decide whether they are willing to commit to marriage without getting to see what the other person looks like. After that, the couples have four weeks together to determine if love is truly blind and if they want to end the show married or part ways for good. Previous Latine contestants include Marissa and Nick from Season 7, Amy from Season 6, Izzy and Lydia from Season 5, Jackie from Season 4, Nancy from Season 3, Mallory and Salvador from Season 2, and Giannina from Season 1.
So, who is the Latina in Season 8 of Love is Blind, which takes place in Minneapolis? Monica.
Monica, who works in Digital Marketing, has Chilean heritage and proudly boasts a flag of Chile on her Instagram account. She told Tudum that she wants her “partner to feel like another family member,” and stressed the importance of family. “I am my most authentic self with my mom, dad, and sister, so finding someone who adds to that dynamic is more than I could ask for.” She also added that her loved ones would describe her as a “secretly really weird” person with a lot of icks.
“Shoes are an ick to me,” she said. “If you have dirty New Balances that are bright blue, I’m sorry, but we got to work on it.”
Will Monica find love in the pods? We’ll find out when Love is Blind Season 8 premieres on Valentine’s Day!
