‘Love Is Blind’: Cameron's Relationship With Lauren Felt ‘Too Good To Be True’
It may have seemed like “Love Is Blind” star Cameron Hamilton didn’t have any reservations when it came to marrying wife Lauren Speed after only four weeks, but that’s not entirely true.
The couple, who got engaged in only six days without seeing each other, opened up about their doubts throughout the show during an interview with People. While Lauren’s, 32, fears stemmed from the quickness of everything, Cameron’s, 28, hesitancy brewed from a different perspective.
“I tried to do this sort of comprehensive assessment of things like, are the family things going to be a problem? Or religious things? Or other social things? I went through that list and there was nothing that was a roadblock for us or nothing that would give me unease,” he said. “So I was like, ‘Man, this does seem too good to be true.’”
Actually, Cameron and Lauren’s uneasiness about the experiment began before they even met each other in the pods.
“I was skeptical about the show prior to going onto it,” Cameron explained. “I mean, I was still open to it, and that’s really what was asked of us was just to keep an open mind. But you hear about the premise, and you’re like, ‘This is crazy.’”
Lauren added: “Like, no way I’m finding somebody and getting married.”
However, Cameron’s love for Lauren overcame his fears.
“But then the next thing you know, you’re building this very deep connection with someone, and then a little bit after that you’re like, “Wow, I’m about to propose to this woman,’” he added. “At a certain point, I had no more doubts about that this was the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with because we were able to delve so deep in our conversations, and in a way that I think neither of us had before.”
Lauren, on the other hand, is just happy her husband was patient and never gave up on her.
“I had never been as happy as I have been with Cameron, and I think that scared me because I was so afraid of being disappointed, and I was projecting that onto Cameron,” she said. “I had to really fight through that, and that was tough. Thank God that Cameron, he never wavered throughout everything. He’s like ‘Look, no matter what, we’re still going to be together even if we don’t get married. We can still continue.’”
In the end, love conquered all and they became one of the two couples who wed at the end of the series. And they are still happily married nearly a year and a half later.
“I think it’s a testament to the fact that when you find the right person you can just kind of know, and it doesn’t take a ton of time to know that,” Cameron shared.
The "Love Is Blind" reunion will be available to stream on Netflix Thursday.
