I had with Maria Lopez,

0:03

Bara Lopez Join me out on Zoom. From Love

0:05

is Blind on Netflix, Lauren Speed

0:07

and Cameron Hamilton's welcome to the show. Guys,

0:09

how are you? How much? Where

0:13

are you at right now? So right now we

0:15

are actually in l A. Don't

0:17

work? Okay? Alright? For so

0:20

let me ask you. For those who haven't watched Love is Blind

0:22

yet, explain how you met. Please.

0:25

So, Karen and I we actually met through

0:28

a wall. We started daddy through a wall

0:30

without ever seeing each other. We fella confessional

0:34

and got married and two years

0:37

later we're still married and happy. That's right.

0:39

I proposed side unseen, so I

0:41

just had to take that big chance. Wow.

0:44

So it's obviously been a minute since you filmed

0:46

the show, and the marriage seems to be I'm

0:49

assuming, well, since you're together

0:51

in in l A. It's

0:54

been a year and in some change a

0:56

year and nine months ago. Yeah, almost two years. Yeah,

0:58

well, good for you, it for you. You know, that just

1:01

goes to prove there are no rules when it comes

1:03

to love, right, you should be open

1:05

minded to to every possibility

1:07

and and uh situation

1:09

that may lead you to romance.

1:12

So the show um ended up

1:14

being a hit and it's now for two Emmys. Why

1:16

do you think it connected with so many people? Um?

1:20

Yeah, I think it was a connection because

1:22

people could see the genuineness of our

1:24

connection. They could see how much we loved

1:26

each other and how much we wanted

1:29

to make it work, and

1:31

how we really overcame those barriers

1:34

of time and other factors

1:36

because of how much we loved each other. Yeah.

1:39

I think that people were really just intrigued

1:41

that that fact that people are dating

1:43

through a wall, Like who does that? Especially

1:45

nowadays when everything is so based on

1:47

looks. Right, if you think about social media and

1:50

dating apps, it's all about the double tab What do

1:52

they look like? This is why I'm attracted to them? So

1:55

kind of showed everyone

1:58

kind of a bit of themselves, almost like

2:00

a black mirror type of thing, Like, well, maybe

2:02

this is possible, you know, maybe these connections

2:04

can be made on a deeper level than just

2:06

like surface things. Yeah, I know that ultimately.

2:09

I think that's what makes for a strong foundation.

2:12

And have you stayed in touch with other cast

2:14

mates on the show? Well, good,

2:17

Yeah, we we have. I talked to Mark

2:19

on a fairly regular basis. I

2:22

used to keep in better touch with Damian. I haven't got

2:24

a chance to talk to him lately. I talked to Matt.

2:27

Yeah, I talked to Diamond on and off.

2:29

So okay,

2:31

okay, kind of like school, you kind of see him when you

2:34

can see him and and and you can touch there.

2:36

Would you be open to having cameras follow

2:38

you around again or was that a one time thing? Um?

2:41

I feel like we would. I mean, it's

2:44

such a part of kind of our life and

2:46

how we met, and we would love to like continue

2:48

our journey because honestly, in a lot of ways, we feel

2:50

like it's just beginning. It's just getting juicy,

2:53

Like the show was good, but now that

2:55

we're married and blending families and all

2:57

of that, So we would love to share that with the

2:59

world because we a ton of questions about it.

3:01
