“Love is Blind,” Netflix’s fan-favorite, extremely unhinged dating show, returned earlier this month.

But now that most people have finally caught up on the new season — the final four episodes hit the streamer on Feb. 18 — we have our own burning questions. What elixir does Shayne have on hand to have girls vying for his love despite being a walking red flag? What real friends let the people they care about get love-bombed via ukulele — on camera, no less? And why is everyone sweating so much?...

In some ways, we truly are in this together. We're binge-watching the same shows, discussing the same all-important social issues that 2020 has managed to push to the forefront and sharing the same damn Tiger King- and Love Is Blind-inspired memes because, yeah, if 2020 were a couple it absolutely would be the ill-fated Jessica Batten and her 10 years younger suitor Mark Cuevas. But for all of our commiserating over how tough it is to homeschool and the generally agreed upon notion that jeans are utterly worthless, a simple fact remains: not all quarantines are created equal.

Mark Cuevas appears to have a new girlfriend. The Love Is Blind star, who recently made headlines over an alleged cheating scandal, is moving on with someone new. Mark took to Instagram on Sunday evening to share a photo of himself getting cozy with a blonde woman, writing, "Thankful."

Earlier this year, Netflix premiered their hit reality show, Love Is Blind, during which viewers saw Mark get engaged to Jessica Batten. However, the couple ended up calling it quits at the altar due to their 10-year age difference. Just days...

She then switched to Mark Cuevas, and the two had a very rocky relationship over the course of the show, with Jessica constantly looking back at what she thought she could have had with Barnett, especially after she...
