One of the most popular and well-loved aspects of Netflix’s ‘Love Is Blind’ is the time couples spend in the pods, where connections develop without any physical presence. The slow burn of getting to know someone in this setup is often endearing, and in Season 9, Megan Walerius and Jordan Keltner embodied exactly that. Their relationship developed gradually, showing viewers what it looks like to build love through conversation alone. While they faced their share of challenges, Megan took her time before making a decision. Once she did, both she and Jordan were certain they had made the right choice.
Megan and Jordan Felt Like Their Lifestyles Were Different
Megan Walerius, who introduced herself as “Sparkly Megan” in the pods, quickly caught the attention of Jordan Keltner. A devoted father to his four-year-old son, Luca, Jordan openly shared that being a parent often made dating more difficult, but he hoped to find someone willing to embrace his small family. Megan, who had long prioritized her career, felt a sense of safety and comfort with Jordan that stood apart from the type of men she usually dated. Megan also talked to Blake and Mike. While the former left midway through the season, Mike remained a serious consideration. She admitted to her friends that Mike was the type of man she typically pursued, yet something deeper kept drawing her to Jordan. Part of that connection came from Jordan sharing that Luca had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Megan, who had lost her father to the same condition, felt a profound pull toward Jordan’s family.
Ultimately, she followed her instincts and chose Jordan. When they met face-to-face for the first time, she instantly felt reassured she had made the right decision. Jordan proudly showed her a picture of his son, and Megan was thrilled at the thought of beginning this journey with him. On their honeymoon, a minor hiccup arose when Jordan became overly animated while drinking, which briefly frustrated Megan, but he quickly reassured her. It reminded her why she had chosen him in the first place. The challenges that awaited them in the real world weren’t easy to navigate, and Megan felt particularly nervous about meeting Luca and his mother. Jordan remained supportive, offering her comfort and reassurance through it all.
On the fourth anniversary of her father’s passing, Megan introduced Jordan to her mother and sister, who expressed happiness that she was finally with someone different from her usual type, someone who made her laugh and brought her joy. As the couple began house-hunting together, Megan assured Jordan that she had things under financial control. Still, he couldn’t help but worry about appearing dependent on her and didn’t want to be the reason she ever felt held back.
Megan could spend quality time with Luca, but she also realized that being a stepmother would change her lifestyle. She also felt that Jordan did not share things with her and remained quiet. He told her that it was simply because of stress and being tired. Finally, before the wedding, Megan called Jordan and told him she was not prepared and that the compromises she would have to make as a stepmother would be overwhelming for her. She pointed out that she wanted a partner who would go on different adventures with her. Jordan felt it was about their financial differences and expressed regret that he introduced his son to her.
Megan and Jordan Are in Different Phases of Their Life Now
Megan and Jordan seemed to start their relationship on a positive note and shared similar values around family and parenting. When Jordan introduced his son to Megan, everything appeared to be progressing well, suggesting a sense of compatibility. However, as Megan began to envision a future with Jordan, she realized that the lifestyle and responsibilities that would come with being part of his family were far greater than what she was used to. This led her to reassess her readiness for such a commitment. She approached the situation with honesty and respect and chose to have a candid conversation with Jordan away from the altar.
Jordan clarified that when he said he regretted introducing his son to Megan, it wasn’t a reflection on her character but rather on his own decision to rush into the relationship. He emphasized that he held no grudges against her. Megan, meanwhile, has started a new chapter in her life. After ending things with Jordan in April 2024, she met a man named Paul through mutual friends in July that same year. Just three months into dating, she discovered she was pregnant, which did cause a few hiccups in her new romance. However, they managed to make things work.
Megan subsequently chose to keep the pregnancy private, only holding a small baby shower without any phones or pod squad members. Her son, Brooks, was born in the summer of 2025. Jordan revealed that he learned about Megan’s situation from a third party who seemed intent on causing drama. However, he and Megan privately spoke and had a positive, open conversation. There were no hard feelings between them — he said he was happy for her and confirmed that he wasn’t seeing anyone else. In other words, the former couple is currently on amicable, platonic terms.
