Another day, another season of Love Is Blind. Fresh off the heels of some controversy from their latest hit dating show competition, The Perfect Match, Netflix is ready to drop a new season of their other Nick Lachey-hosted reality show. The latest season was a whole moment on social media when it premiered due to the moments like the Cole versus Zanab 'Cuties' scene debate as well as the cheating scandal between fan-favorite couple Raven and SK that occurred post-filming.
Love Is Blind season 4 premieres on Netflix on March 24, with new episodes streaming each week on Friday. Similarly to the rollout of previous seasons of the series, new episodes will be released in batches across a four-week period. Episodes 1-5 will premiere on Friday, March 24; episodes 6-8 will premiere the following Friday, March 31; episodes 9-11 will premiere on April 7, and lastly, episode 12 will be available to stream on Friday, April 12.
Ahead of what is sure to be the topic of major conversation for weeks to come on our social media feeds, get into the cast of 30 singles featured in the upcoming season. Can't wait to see which couples make it out of the Pods and (hopefully) down the aisle!

Yet, the 49-year-old's background sets her apart from other first ladies. Shaunie brings a unique perspective as a public figure, which stems from her previous marriage to NBA star Shaquille O'Neal and her experience in reality television.
In an interview with xoNecole, while promoting her memoir Undefeated, the Basketball Wives creator discussed what being a first lady means to her and how she has lived her life non-traditionally.
When asked if she had always been nontraditional, Shaunie revealed that throughout her life, she has made it her mission to better herself by learning from experiences and breaking harmful cycles.

“I think that's just who I am. I can’t say I intentionally go against the grain. In the book, I talk about things from my childhood, like my dad being late all the time. I was totally opposite with my kids when they were in school. I was always there early. My mother is not affectionate, and she doesn't verbally say, ‘I love you,’ but she does things to let you know. That's the way she shows her love,” she said when describing her relationship with her parents.
“But because I missed that 'I love you' and hugging and kissing, I do that with my kids. I try to always give what I needed myself. There were basketball wives who weren’t very nice to me, so I went out of my way to make sure that once I was a wife that I didn't treat anybody else like that. No one was going to feel like that on my watch.”
Toward the end of the conversation, when discussing her first lady responsibilities and the pressures of upholding that image, the mother of five explained she isn't too hard on herself to fit the mold, given her significantly different background from most first ladies and her relatively new role.
“As far as being first lady, now, I'm not knocking how any first ladies decide to operate but I just knew that the idea of what that usually is was not me. And, to be honest, rightfully so. I'm probably the only first lady that created a reality show that has been on television since 2010. My life is not remotely close to that of most first ladies. We've experienced completely different things. Most of them have been pastor’s wives for a long time, this is all new for me. I come with an entirely different journey; that wouldn’t lend itself to being a traditional first lady,” she stated.
Shaunie's nontraditional approach appears to work in her favor, as she has been welcomed with open arms just as she is.
