Megan “Sparkle Megan” Walerius got engaged to Jordan Keltner in the pods of Love is Blind Season 9, seemingly promising a happily ever after. However, looks could be deceiving. Megan has reportedly been spotted outside her Denver house with a newborn child and an unidentified male, which has led to rumors that her on-screen romance may be over and that a private one is quietly starting.
Since Megan has been mostly silent on social media, a man was spotted coming and going from her home with a baby in his arms. This led to a great deal of fan scrutiny. Timeline experts point out that her Instagram sabbatical from September 2024 to May 2025 coincides with the show's March shoot window, suggesting that something noteworthy is developing behind the scenes.
Given that no marriage license was filed and that the season finale only briefly mentioned other couples, some fans think Megan and Jordan were never married. Should the emerging baby tale be verified, it would completely change the expected "I do" scenario.
By subtly deviating from her televised path, Megan's existence post Love is Blind serves as a reminder that the pods are only the beginning and that what happens next can be quite different.
Love is Blind: The real story behind Megan’s post-show life
After Love is Blind, Megan Walerius's journey deviates significantly from the typical couple-goes-to-altar plot. Fans are left to question whether her engagement was real or merely a plot device as she is currently spotted with a newborn and an unidentified partner. Off-camera, her next chapter seems to be writing itself.
The photos, the baby, and the mystery man
When Megan was seen on October 19 and 20 leaving a Denver home with a man, not Jordan, carrying a newborn wrapped in a white fleece blanket, rumors about her personal life intensified. Witnesses told The Sun that the man has been coming and leaving at all hours and "seems to be living in Megan's home."
There hasn't been a confirmed pregnancy announcement, according to sources, but Megan's year-long social media disappearance and the timing point to a potential motherhood. Although there is still uncertainty around the baby's identification, relationship to Megan, and the man's involvement, the gap in her public persona and the picture trail have sparked a great deal of fan study.
Given that Megan and Jordan were among the last three couples on the show, this event is quite significant. Their exclusion from promotional materials and wedding previews lends even more credence to the notion that their romance may be over.
Implications for Megan’s Love is Blind journey
Megan's post-show situation differs significantly from the usual conclusion of Love is Blind, if the reports are accurate. On-screen, she blamed their relationship's fragility on lifestyle disparities, such as luxury against simplicity and security versus travel. But behind the scenes, she might have made a very different decision.
Megan's story on Love is Blind may be less about a fairy tale wedding and more about self-reinvention and parenthood on her own terms, as seen by her withdrawal from social media, failure to file for a marriage certificate, and new role as a parent. This change emphasizes for the franchise that while the pods may foster relationships, real life can have its own plot. It's unclear if Megan will discuss this in public, but the reunion episode should provide more information.
With the hype over “who chooses you” evolving into “who chooses your future,” Megan Walerius’s next steps may redefine not only her own arc, but also what success looks like after the pods of season 9.
