Love Is Blind: Sweden Season 2 Recap
The highly anticipated second season of Love Is Blind: Sweden debuted on March 13, featuring a group of hopeful singles on a quest for true love. Among these participants was Ola Jönsson, a 42-year-old real estate consultant whose behavior raised eyebrows throughout the season. As the couples transitioned from the pod experience to the real world, Ola’s actions led many viewers to view him as the least appealing cast member.
Initially, Ola presented himself as someone engaged in a “self-discovery journey,”often discussing this theme with his fellow contestants. His connection with Milly was put to the test, particularly due to her lingering feelings for another cast member, Oskar Lind. Despite their initial attraction after Oskar’s departure, it became apparent that Ola and Milly faced significant compatibility challenges once they met face-to-face. Ola’s candid criticisms of Milly—including remarks about her appearance and habits—spoke volumes about his intentions on the show.
Ola Jönsson’s Disrespect Toward Milly
Ola’s Demeaning Behavior
During their time in the pods, Ola quickly recognized that Milly’s lifestyle diverged greatly from his own. While she embraced guilty pleasures like Coca-Cola and enjoyed reality TV—particularly The Real Housewives—Ola’s preferences were evidently different. Upon their first meeting, it became clear that Milly’s short hair deviated from the long, dark-haired ideal he usually preferred, which contributed to the tension between them.
Self-Centered Attitude of Ola Jönsson
Ola’s Obsession with Self
In the earlier episodes, Ola frequently referenced a crystal that he carried, which he claimed represented love. However, when prompted by producers to express its significance further, he bizarrely refused, stating the crystal preferred not to be exposed. This episode highlighted Ola’s fixation on his personal journey over the growing bond with Milly.
As the series progressed, Ola’s self-centered behavior became increasingly apparent. He pressured Milly to conform to his lifestyle while neglecting to adapt to hers. His reluctance to introduce her to his family suggested he wasn’t genuinely invested in the experiment. Rather, Ola seemed to perceive Milly as a project that needed to be “fixed,”rather than a partner in her own right.
Controlling and Manipulative Behavior
Desire for Control Over Milly
Ola’s strict dietary regimes clashed with Milly’s carefree approach to food. In one revealing moment, Milly shared her experiences with fellow contestant Nathalie Loveless, expressing Ola’s displeasure with her eating habits. While Milly viewed her occasional vaping and love for soda as harmless, Ola branded them as red flags, demonstrating his controlling nature.
“Soft drinks or the consumption of soft drinks or energy drinks or things like that. To me, it’s completely harmful and it can be a way of numbing. So if I see any of it, any, like candy, Coca-Cola, um, cigarettes, or anything harmful to the spirit, I get a feeling of unease.”
Ola’s assertion that Milly’s choices stemmed from personal insecurities and his insistence that she needed to change was a clear indicator of manipulation. His belief in his own superiority and the imposition of his values suggested a troubling dynamic in their relationship.

The Breakup
Ultimately, Ola and Milly parted ways, a development that reflected the significant differences in their lifestyles. While Milly’s easy-going nature contrasted starkly with Ola’s rigid approach, it was surprising to see Ola as the one initiating the breakup, particularly given Milly’s escalating frustration with his demanding ways.
Though Ola initially presented a seemingly open-minded persona who could accept Milly’s differences, numerous warning signs indicated a doomed partnership. Their relationship dynamics will be more elaborated upon during the upcoming Love Is Blind: Sweden season 2 reunion special. As of now, Milly pursues her career as an event manager, while Ola appears to be indulging in the break he previously discussed.
All episodes of Love Is Blind: Sweden season 2 are currently streaming on Netflix, with the wedding episodes set to air on Thursday, March 27, 2025.
