Fans were shocked by the Love is Blind Season 9 finale when Edmond Harvey and Kalybriah "KB" Haskin, one of the most anticipated couples of the season, approached the altar under full ceremony illumination, only for KB to retreat, leaving Edmond visibly devastated. Instead, it turned into a momentous change in the franchise's history, with the promise of "I do" looming large.
Along the way, Edmond and KB were hit with a number of emotional bombshells. Edmond became irate when he discovered they were the only engaged couple who hadn't had sex; he confronted KB about previous one-night affairs, which resulted in tears and a furious argument. The engagement was essentially ended on camera when KB broke her promise at the altar and told Edmond he deserved someone "100%."
The result sparked a social media frenzy, with responses ranging from astonished incredulity to rage at the couple's procedure to critiques of the show's reasoning. Many people questioned whether the model still works and whether the relationship was really real.
An admirer of Love is Blind shared,
"Edmond is definitely on the spectrum. I hope he gets appropriate support for the same. #LoveIsBlindS9"

Altar drama knocks out Edmond and KB in Love is Blind Season 9
Based on a strong emotional bond and similar upbringing, Edmond Harvey and Kalybriah "KB" Haskin's path to the altar was paved with early promise. However, fissures emerged when the cameras shifted inward. A significant turning point occurred when Edmond, who had first agreed with KB's intention to wait until marriage before becoming intimate, reacted strongly to it.
At the altar, the unity façade disintegrated. Edmond made sincere promises, stating that he was prepared to grow and be dedicated. While KB commended his journey, she later acknowledged that she wasn't "100%" prepared and withdrew her declaration that "I do." In addition to ending their wedding, the incident sparked a more in-depth discussion on trust, limits, and what it means to go on as a couple under the glaring light of reality TV.
