The experiment may be over, but the work isn’t done. Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson opened up to Us Weekly about life after Love Is Blind, revealing how committed they are to their relationship.“I think the biggest challenge for us was losing the structure of the show,” Nick exclusively told Us during a joint interview with his spouse. “We quickly realized like, ‘Hey, two months ago, we weren’t married, we were single.

Since then, we’ve met and married, we have friends, we have family, everybody — some people know, some people don’t.’ And so, it’s like, ‘How do you navigate these waters and how do you go from doing whatever you want two months ago to, like, being part of a family?’”The twosome, who got engaged in the pods during season 2 of the Netflix series, noted that they started going to couples therapy to build the “framework” of their relationship and work on their communication.“[I’m] learning that I need to listen more and talk less in some of those situations,” Nick continued, noting that professional guidance is helping them “navigate” life post-filming.Danielle, who was candid about her anxieties throughout the show, agreed but noted that their romance is “such a different relationship” than fans saw on the series.“Him and I fell in love so quickly and because we both knew at the end of the day we wanted to stay together, we did feel so pressured to figure out what was the best route for us to take,” she explained. “That created this, like, pressure cooker environment that we felt like, ‘Oh, my God, like what do we do?’ And we both came to the conclusion, like, ’It’s us, like, we’re spending the rest of our lives together.’ I just can’t wait for people to see the relationship that we have now.”Nick cited
