In the latest season of Love Is Blind, the intricate dynamics of love and choice are showcased, particularly through the experiences of contestant Leo Braudy. He finds himself in a dilemma, torn between two contestants: Hannah Jiles and Brittany Wisniewski.
As the drama unfolds, fellow contestant Tyler Francis has publicly defended Leo, stating:
“I think he came in with pure intentions and it’s hard to watch so far.”
Tyler, 34, shared his insights with US Weekly on October 3, 2024, addressing the ongoing discussions about Leo’s financial background.
“He didn’t talk about money that much at all,” Tyler clarified.
At 31 years old, Leo, who is an art dealer and has inherited his family business, has opened up about his lifestyle and future plans with the women he’s connecting with, even touching on topics like prenups. However, Tyler downplayed the significance of Leo’s wealth in their interactions, commenting:
“From what I’m hearing, maybe… he’s never talked money with the guys.”
Leo’s emotional struggle to choose between Hannah and Brittany has become a central narrative of the season.
Love Is Blind: Leo’s Dilemma
Inside the pods, Leo was caught in his feelings for both women. He was attracted to Hannah, 26, due to her intellect, while Brittany, 33, captivated him with her vibrant personality and deep spiritual discussions. During an interview with Tudum on October 3, 2024, he reflected:
“I was totally raw… and that contributed a lot to how I reacted.”
The situation intensified when Hannah began forming a bond with Nick Dorka, leading to a mutual breakup between her and Leo. Tyler noted the challenges Leo faced amid these developments. Even though Leo shared a profound connection with Brittany, his unresolved feelings for Hannah complicated their relationship.
In his pursuit of Brittany, Leo even proposed using a heartfelt rhyming poem:
“I love your voice and every word you say / I found my queen from Baltimore.”
However, Brittany felt uncertain about the proposal, expressing her hesitation regarding being Leo’s second choice.
The Aftermath: Why Brittany and Leo Are No Longer Together
Despite their chemistry, Leo and Brittany’s path on Love Is Blind ultimately led to their separation. After the proposal, Brittany admitted she struggled with her feelings, revealing she wasn’t prepared to say “I love you” to Leo.
This hesitation was largely due to her sense of being a second option, causing tension in their bond. Brittany expressed her feelings to Tudum:
“I can’t rack my brain [about] how my future husband could be torn between me and another person.”
After their time on Love Is Blind, Brittany and Leo agreed to part ways.
Tyler’s defense of Leo highlights the complexity of emotions present in the show’s context. The narrative surrounding Leo’s wealth emerged early in the season, yet Tyler emphasized that their experiences in the living quarters painted a different picture. He acknowledged:
“I didn’t talk to Leo as much as the other guys.”
