We are barely halfway through season seven, but Tim and Alex from Love Is Blind have already been on quite a tumultuous journey.
While their union had seemed promising in the pods, once the newly-engaged couple made it to Mexico things started to unravel. It all culminated in a cliffhanger at the end of episode six, and it’s very unclear where the couple stands right now.
Here’s everything we know about the couple, and where their relationship stands today.
Who are Tim and Alex from Love Is Blind?
Tim Godbee is a 33-year-old digital content strategist for a consulting firm in Arlington, Virginia, but he has had a pretty long and interesting career. He spent more than a decade in the US Navy as a communications specialist, where one of his assignments was at the personal photojournalist to the former secretary of defense, Ashton Carter. Fancy!
On the show, Tim shared some of the personal losses he had experienced, telling Alex that both of his older sisters passed away. Losing his sisters has led him, he said, to want to create his own family and give his parents another daughter to love. His sisters are very much present in his life, and he frequently posts about them on his Instagram account.
Alex Byrd is a 33-year-old producer in the fashion industry who likes to make mini-vlogs of her travel content on social media. In the pods, she described herself as “spiritual” and said she was looking for a relationship where they would stick by each other’s sides, no matter what. She shared that she feels especially strong about this because both of her parents have multiple sclerosis, and she has watched how their illnesses have impacted their respective relationships. Alex also shares some pretty adorable TikToks of her dog, Cleo.
What went down on the show?
In the pods, these two had a pretty instant connection (they quipped that their names, adorably were “birds and the bees”), and they got deep fast. Alex shared about her parents’ health struggles, while Tim opened up about losing his two sisters and his time in the Navy. When Tim shared his experience saying goodbye to his oldest sister, who died as a teenager from Lupus, there certainly wasn’t a dry eye among viewers.
It was clear incredibly fast that these two had a deep connection and seemed comfortable sharing with each other the most intimate details of their lives. Despite that, Tim noted that they still had fun joking around together too, like the date when they painted some…um…interesting art pieces. So, it wasn’t hugely surprising that Tim proposed in episode 4, and Alex tearfully said yes.
When they met for the first time, the most dramatic thing that happened was that Tim expressed surprise that Alex had a nose ring (but he liked it). And while Tim did make some jokes that Alex seemed to think were a little annoying, she seemed charmed by him and they seemed happy. And off they went to Mexico.
Once there, the couple seemed to be enjoying themselves with snuggling and appetizers by the pool. During one of their conversations, Alex admitted that she “used to have a really short temper” and gets “annoyed” really easily. Tim said he was essentially the opposite, he tries not to argue and tends to peace out when things get heated. Hmmm.
