A pair of former fiancés from the popular reality series Love Is Blind are reflecting on their split with a surprising dose of humor. Following the recent season finale, David Bettenburg shared a lighthearted exchange with his ex-partner, Lauren O’Brien, that has caught the attention of viewers.
In a social media post, Bettenburg recounted a message from O’Brien. “She texted me saying, ‘Isn’t it crazy that after all this, we are the least messy of all the exes?'” he revealed. The couple, whose engagement ended during the season, seemed to be acknowledging the more turbulent breakups unfolding among their fellow cast members.
Bettenburg also used the platform to offer a broader commentary on post-show behavior. Without naming anyone specifically, he addressed the audience, stating, “Putting others down for your own personal gain, that isn’t it.” He emphasized that seeking attention by dragging others down is a regrettable path, a remark widely interpreted as a reference to the ongoing public disputes between other contestants from the season.
This backdrop of drama provides context for the former couple’s wry observation. Since the reunion episode aired, several other pairs have been engaged in public disagreements. One contestant made a pointed literary comparison to describe an ex, while another pair has been involved in a back-and-forth debate over the authenticity of apologies and the details of their post-filming relationship, sharing private messages in a bid to sway public opinion.
In contrast, Bettenburg and O’Brien’s split, which sources indicate was influenced by family dynamics and past relationship concerns, appears to have settled into a more amicable, or at least less contentious, space. Their ability to joke about their status as the “least messy” exes offers a different epilogue to the high-stakes emotional journeys the series is known for, highlighting a path of relative peace after the cameras stop rolling.
