A Love Is Blind success! Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux were one of two season 3 couples to say “I Do” at the end of the Netflix experiment.
“I’m head over heels in love with her, I was absolute in the way that I felt,” Brennon exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2022, noting it was “nerve-wracking” thinking about the possibility of Alexa walking away on their wedding day. “I could only control the things that I can control.”
The insurance agent ultimately said yes during the season 3 finale, and the twosome sealed their decision with a kiss and the Jewish tradition of breaking the glass. Since filming wrapped, their romance has even gotten sweeter.
“Things are great. Things are wonderful. We’ve been able to finally get the families together for a bunch of different events,” Brennon gushed to Us, noting they are a happy family of four with their two dogs. “Life is wonderful. Life is great.”
Alexa, for her part, has been equally excited about marrying the engineer. “Every day you’re with your best friend and it’s making jokes and it’s just being goofy and being yourselves,” she told Us that November of their marriage. “We’re just really just living our best life. I think it really was a surprise how easy marriage life is when you like, really have your one. It’s amazing.”
The two Texas residents formed an immediate connection in the pods during Netflix’s third season of the dating series. (Matt Bolton and Colleen Reed also got married during Love Is Blind season 3, while the remaining couples all went their separate ways during the finale. Raven Ross and Sikiru “SK” Alagbada reunited after filming wrapped and are long-distance dating.)
“She makes me feel heard. She makes me feel comfortable [and] trusted. I don’t have a clear picture of what she looks like, but I feel like I do have a full and clear picture of who she is as a person,” Brennon said in a confessional, shortly before deciding to propose.
As the pair navigated their post-pod relationship, they learned how to manage disagreements and different family upbringings. (Alexa was raised in an outspoken Israeli household while her man comes from a more traditional, Southern brood.)
“Honestly, the biggest challenge is, like, trying to select holidays. Like, we go with this family half the holiday and then we drive like 200 miles to this family,” Brennon explained to Us. “So trying to select that kind of stuff [is difficult]. Married life for me is, I dunno if I’m doing it wrong or not, but it’s been great. It’s been easy!”

The Proposal
“You make me so happy, and I’m so obsessed. I’m so in love with you,” Brennon told the insurance agency owner in the pods before getting down on one knee. “I want to spend every day of my life trying to make you happy in any way I can.”
Alexa, of course, said “yes” despite initially being skeptical of finding her person on Love Is Blind.

Falling Deeper
After leaving the pods, the couple’s romance continued to flourish, but their bond was not met without challenges. After a serious conversation about finances, Alexa admitted that she wanted to sign a prenuptial agreement before their wedding day.
“You clearly have more money than I do, that seems obvious,” Brennon told his then-fiancée after noting he was still paying off student loan debt. “Put whatever you want in that contract, I’ll sign it.”

Meeting the Family
Brennon was initially hesitant to meet his bride’s outspoken brood, who wasted no effort in grilling him over his marital intentions.
“I can promise you, 100 percent, like, I want to promise her that I’ll work every day, I’ll work my ass off to give her the best life that she deserves,” Brennon told Alexa’s dad, Adam Alfia, during a heart-to-heart, noting he was “100 percent certain” about their relationship going the distance. “We might not have come from the same way of life or the same culture, but as far as things go, the things that we value in life are the same.”
Adam, for his part, admitted in a confessional that Brennon had his blessing to marry Alexa because he’s a “great guy.”

November 2022
After the finale aired, Alexa shared the couple’s social media “hard launch” via her Instagram, in which she confirmed season 3’s filming dates.
“May 2021 I met my lobster. I fell in love with your southern drawl, your infectious laugh, your twisted humor, your incredibly detailed memories, your goofiness, your confidence and a million other little things,” she captioned an Instagram tribute to her husband. “This love didn’t happen slowly or overnight. It happened in every moment I spent with you. You are the best person I have ever met and I’m lucky to even know you, much less get to spend my life with you. You are my home.”

November 2022
After Brennon revealed on Love Is Blind season 3 that he was open to converting to Judaism for his wife, he has yet to formally begin the process.
“While Brennon never converted to Judaism, he did convert me to that country livin. We’ve spent the last year and a half going to football games on the weekends, spending time with family and friends, and falling even more in love,” Alexa gushed via Instagram. “This man has changed the way I look at life and shown me what truly matters. He’s taught me how to love and how to not take life so seriously. I love you so much my cowboy❤️.”
Brennon replied to her post that he’s since learned to wear a yarmulke and enjoys their weekly Shabbat dinners. “Alexa is patient with my procrastination, generous to others in need, kind to rudeness, and loves deeply,” he wrote. “This woman makes me want to be a better man and husband. I love you to infinity, my lobster ❤️.”
