HOUSTON, TEXAS: Netflix's 'Love is Blind' Season 5 has become the talk of the town for cutting Renee Poche and Carter Wall's love story. As the new episodes of the ongoing season dropped, fans quickly discovered that Renee and Carter were engaged in the show, but Netflix chose not to show it.
When asked about why did Netflix not feature their love story despite capturing it, Renee replied, "I did ask for clarification because I was so confused at first," in an interview with PopSugar.
The star was told that she and Carter would be shown on camera as "friends from the pods." Renee called out the streaming platform saying, "It was very vague, and I still thought that possibly we were going to be engaged on the show and then kind of cut down from there."
Renee, however, refused to stir any drama. She said, "I really don't know the real reason, but I can speculate. I have my own opinions on why and likely what happened." The star opted not to discuss her opinion.
Renee claimed that, like any other viewer, she was also shocked knowing her story was not going to be a "big focus." She said, "What I was told was, "We'll just, point blank, say that Carter was awful and we don't want you to have to relive that. That's just not going to be a big focus.""
The star claimed that one of the reasons Netflix gave for cutting their story was that "timing was an issue."
Why did 'Love is Blind' Season 5 couple Renee Poche and Carter Wall split?
Renee confessed that she was engaged in the pods. She claimed, "We fell in love with each other in the pods. We were very excited about everything, and things went really well in Mexico as well."
She claimed that their relationship was "pleasant, happy, and funny." However, things changed for the former couple when they got back to Houston.
Renee claimed to have started noticing some "red flags." And, this, therefore, led her to say no at the altar.
Is 'Love is Blind' Season 5 star Renee Poche married?
Yes, Renee got married in March 2023. However, her husband's name is not revealed on social media. Renee says that her husband "doesn't want to be a part of any media."
She claims, "He thinks the whole thing's wild, he doesn't even want people knowing his name."
Renee matched with her now husband on a dating app. They went on a couple of dates, but their connection broke long before she started shooting for 'Love is Blind' Season 5.
Renee claims, "It wasn't until months after filming that we actually did go on more dates. We finished filming in June, and we didn't go out until September or October."
When will 'Love is Blind' Season 5 finale release?
'Love is Blind' Season 5 finale will release on Friday, October 13 on Netflix. The final episode of the season will show which couple will choose to get married and who will say no at the altar.
Izzy Zapata and Stacy Synder, and James Milton and Lydia Arleen have moved ahead for the finale.
