Love Is Blind’s Chelsea Griffin is offering an update on her casting role amid her split from Kwame Appiah.
“One of the most common questions in my DMs: ‘Are you still involved in Love Is Blind casting?’ ‘Can you help vouch for me or my app?’” Griffin wrote via Instagram on Sunday, November 8. “To be transparent, I’m not currently involved in casting for Love Is Blind.”
She continued, “Love Is Blind holds an incredibly special place in my story. It takes courage to put your heart out there and I’ll always be rooting for people taking that chance on love.”
Griffin, who joined Kinetic’s casting team for the hit Netflix reality show in 2023, asked any Love Is Blind hopefuls who had messaged her about casting to “please direct your questions and applications to the official casting website.”
“The casting producers set the clear eligibility requirements and the initial application includes approximately 75 questions. If you feel the experience is right for you, I encourage you to apply through the website,” she wrote. “Wishing you luck and love on your journey. 🩷.”
The message was signed, “Love always, Chelsea.”
Griffin tried to find love on the show in season 4, which aired on Netflix in 2023. She met Appiah sight unseen and the pair got engaged, tying the knot in the season finale. Earlier this year, Griffin and Appiah shared that they went their separate ways.
“It’s heartbreaking to share that our marriage is coming to an end,” Griffin wrote in a May Instagram statement. “This is not the outcome I hoped for, and I entered this relationship with deep love, commitment and the intention of building a lasting life together.”
From Griffin’s perspective, she and Appiah were “growing in different directions.”
“I poured my whole heart into this marriage and wanted it to work until the very end, but lasting marriages require more than love alone,” she said. “I remain grateful for the life, memories and experiences that we shared.”
Appiah, for his part, shared in a separate statement that the split has been “one of the hardest decisions to make.”
“This isn’t something either of us ever imagined, and it’s been one of the hardest decisions to make,” he said. “As difficult as it’s been to arrive her, I believe it’s in our best interest considering amongst many other things, that our ultimate life goals don’t feel aligned. Thank you all for the many years of support. Much love to you all.”
