Famous People Who Can’t Stop Watching “Love Is Blind”: Kristen Stewart, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Many More Fans
The wildly popular Netflix reality dating show “Love Is Blind” has captivated audiences around the world since its debut in 2020. And it turns out, the show’s devoted fanbase includes some very famous faces.
In recent months, several A-list celebrities have openly professed their love for “Love Is Blind” and their inability to tear themselves away from the dramatic, heart-warming, and sometimes cringeworthy interactions between the contestants.
Actress Kristen Stewart, known for her roles in the “Twilight” saga and arthouse films, admitted in an interview that she’s “obsessed” with the show. “I just can’t stop watching it,” Stewart said. “The social experiment aspect is so fascinating to me. And the couples are just so earnest and vulnerable. I find myself rooting for them, even when they make questionable choices.”
Gwyneth Paltrow, the Oscar-winning actress and founder of the lifestyle company Goop, is another high-profile fan. She’s shared multiple Instagram stories reacting to the show, praising the “authenticity” of the participants’ journeys to find love.
Other stars who have publicly shared their “Love Is Blind” fandom include social media personality Chrissy Teigen, actors Jonathan Van Ness and Kumail Nanjiani, and musicians John Mayer and Alison Brie.
The appeal of “Love Is Blind” for these celebrities seems to stem from a combination of factors. The show’s unique premise – where participants go on “blind dates” in isolated pods and get engaged before ever seeing each other in person – creates an undeniable sense of drama and suspense. And the raw emotion displayed by the contestants as they navigate this unorthodox dating process strikes a chord with viewers.
“There’s just something so pure and captivating about watching these people lay their hearts on the line,” said Paltrow in one of her Instagram stories. “You can’t help but get invested in their stories.”
For famous fans like Stewart and Paltrow, the appeal may also come from the opportunity to indulge in a guilty pleasure. As high-profile figures, they likely don’t get to experience the thrill of a “typical” reality TV binge very often. “Love Is Blind” allows them to step away from the spotlight and partake in the same cultural phenomenon as everyday viewers.
Regardless of the reasons, the enthusiasm of these celebs for the show is a testament to its broad, enduring appeal. “Love Is Blind” has managed to captivate audiences of all backgrounds – from average Netflix subscribers to A-list superstars. And based on the reactions of famous fans, it seems the show’s addictive allure shows no signs of fading anytime soon.
