The initial five episodes of Love Is Blind Season 11 premiered on Netflix on Wednesday, October 14. This season features 30 singles from the Boston area, all eager to discover genuine love and establish lasting relationships.

This new cohort of New Englanders is embracing the challenge of forming connections and getting engaged without ever seeing their potential partners. Hosted by the experienced married couple Nick Lachey and Vanessa Lachey, who have witnessed numerous relationships unfold (and sometimes falter) over the course of 10 previous seasons of Love Is Blind, this season comprises 14 men and 16 women aged between 28 and 40, representing various professions, from entrepreneurs to engineers and account executives.

Below, we’ll introduce you to this season’s cast members, offering biographical insights gathered from Netflix Tudum, complete with their Instagram handles and astrological signs for those interested.

Warning: Spoilers for the first five episodes of Love Is Blind Season 11 are included.

Blake Carver (@tropicanacoyote)

At 38 years old, Blake is a Cancer, which aligns well with his profession as a yacht captain. Blake seeks a partner who is open to adventures on the open sea, making his connection with Benita, who has limited boating experience, quite surprising.

The two discovered common ground in Balkan culture, with Benita being Albanian and Blake having lived in Croatia for a time. Blake also formed a rapport with Erika, where they engaged in playful discussions about their sleep habits and relationship dynamics.

Benita Paloja (@benitapalo)

Benita, a 31-year-old insurance agent and Taurus from Kosovo, Albania, immigrated to the United States with her family in 1999, which has fostered a deep bond with them. She connected with both Blake and Morrey but appeared to have a stronger rapport with Blake.

Sensing that Blake was more inclined towards Erika, Benita decided to withdraw from their connection, claiming that Blake might be making “the biggest mistake of his life.”

Erika (@errrika1)

Erika, 37, serves as a marketing director who has a passion for both her home life and traveling. Another Cancer like Blake, she mentioned that the sea brings her a sense of stability, leading Blake to propose that she join him on his yacht.

The two hit it off after realizing they shared numerous similarities, including having lived in San Diego and both starting beverage companies.

Despite feeling uneasy about Blake’s connection with Benita, Erika chose to nurture her bond with him, resulting in their engagement within the pods.

Morrey Eglin (@morrey__)

Morrey, a 32-year-old entrepreneur and part-time boxer, identifies as a Libra. He interacted with both Benita and Sarah in the pods but faced complications after a dispute with Benita, leading him to call off their connection as he felt unprepared for a commitment.

Meanwhile, Sarah had already developed a stronger bond with John, resulting in her decision to end her connection with Morrey.

Sarah Williams (@swillyyyy)

Sarah, 34, works as a healthcare program manager and also bartends part-time. As a Libra, she has been single for six years and is eager to build connections based on friendship rather than physical attraction.

She explored her connections with both Morrey and John but ultimately chose to pursue her relationship with John.

John, 33, works as an account executive and identifies as a Gemini. He is also a proud dog dad who has recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). John seeks a long-term partner who has strong convictions.

At 29, Cam is an HR generalist and a Scorpio, who has spent considerable time in Ghana and India. During his stay in India, he frequently read My Gita, inspired by the Hindu text The Bhagavad Gita.

His connection with Aneha, who hails from a Hindu family, blossomed naturally. He also formed a bond with Malaine, a breast cancer survivor who resonated with Cam after he shared that his mother had also survived cancer.

Ultimately, Cam felt a deeper connection with Aneha, claiming she might be the one for him, leading to his breakup with Malaine.

Aneha, 28, is a principal engineer and an Aquarius. She describes herself as “stubborn” and reveals that she has never consumed alcohol. Passionate about her biotech research, Aneha is on the lookout for a “gentleman.”

Stew, 34, is a director of engineering and a Gemini who describes himself as a “sauna aficionado.” He connected with Jax in the pods, sharing their wedding dreams and aspirations.
