While Meg Fink and Mason Horacek did not get engaged during their participation in Netflix’s Love Is Blind season 8, they certainly left their imprint on this dramatic reality series. The season overall was tumultuous, culminating in just one couple tying the knot, but Meg and Mason’s individual journeys after the show are equally compelling. Let’s delve into their lives post-production and explore what they have been up to.
Exploring Mason and Meg’s Journey on Love Is Blind
Navigating a Love Quadrangle
Mason and Meg’s experiences on Love Is Blind were anything but straightforward. Mason found himself caught in a complex romantic web involving multiple contestants, particularly Madison Errichiello. Despite his attempts to forge a deeper connection with Meg, Mason struggled with maintaining exclusivity. Ultimately, Madison chose to pursue a different path with Alex Brown, leaving Mason looking manipulative as he attempted to reclaim Meg’s interest.
After Madison’s departure, Mason expressed a desire to reconnect with Meg, highlighting their shared interests, such as conspiracy theories and the film Her. However, Meg did not want to feel like a secondary choice and chose to end their relationship, resulting in Mason gaining a villainous reputation throughout the season. After a series of emotional twists, all four members of this intricate love quadrangle returned home to Minnesota single.

Rediscovering Each Other in the Real World
Once filming concluded and they regained access to their phones, Meg and Mason connected over social media, reigniting the affection they developed in the pods. Their first reunion took place during a cast gathering featured in episode 11, where they arrived hand-in-hand, surprising their fellow cast members. Meg, who initially doubted they would speak again after the show, felt a spark of chemistry reignited as the two began interacting.
Nostalgically, they decided to recreate a version of a reveal, donning attire reminiscent of what they might have worn had they gotten engaged, and thus began dating again, exuding happiness during their appearances.
However, their romantic journey was not without challenges. At the Love Is Blind season 8 reunion, Mason revealed they had parted ways but remained close friends, a testament to their connection. Madison conveyed her happiness for them, noting that Meg and Mason suited each other better than she and Mason had.

Are They Back Together?
In an unexpected twist, Meg and Mason have reignited their romance. During an appearance on the Dear Shandy podcast, Mason candidly shared that while he initially stated they were just friends during the reunion, their relationship evolved. They are now dating but are taking a slow and measured approach this time.
Meg acknowledged that they had attempted to date previously without lasting success, realizing that certain elements were missing in those earlier attempts. Now, after building a strong platonic foundation and being supportive of one another, they are excited to explore their romantic relationship again.
As they navigate this renewed connection, the future remains uncertain. Should they decide to marry, they would make history as the first Love Is Blind participants to wed off-camera. For now, fans can only hope that Meg and Mason find happiness together, wherever their relationship leads them.
