Love Is Blind's Mark Cuevas slams rumours he had a girlfriend whilst on show

Mark Cuevas appeared to be the ultimate good guy on Netflix's Love Is Blind.

During the series the fitness instructor, 24, was giddy for Jessica Batten, 36, and he continuously tried to make their relationship work - however her heart was not in it and she jilted him at the altar on their wedding day.

After the streaming services series wrapped Mark was hit with rumours that he was not as angelic as viewers thought and was accused of being involved in a relationship off-screen whilst filming the show.

However, the reality TV personality has shut down any speculation during a appearance on the Be There in Five podcast.

“I never had a girlfriend during — I had a girlfriend after the experience. I will say that,” he told.

He then admitted that when the show ended he was in a relationship and thinks that this is where the confusion has stemmed from - as the show was aired two years after production.

Talking about the post-show romance, he said: “This is way after the experience, a couple months. I was still figuring out what the hell happened, and then I jumped into a relationship, you do that.

“We ended up breaking up before the show came out, no hard feelings, it just didn’t work out.”

Love Is Blind saw singles get to know each other without ever seeing each other as they chatted through connecting pods.

If they wanted to see each other in person they had to get engaged.

After their engagements they flew off on a luxury holiday to Mexico to get to know each other in person, before living together back in the US.

They then had to decide if they would get legally married when they got to the altar.

Amber and Barnett and Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton were the only two couples to stay together.

Jessica and Mark, Kelly Chase and Kenny Barnes and Giannina Gibelli and Damian Powers decided not to get married.

*Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix now.
