AceShowbiz - "Love Is Blind" creator Chris Coelen has shed light on the Netflix show's background checking process and addressed several social media controversies from season 7. Coelen emphasized that the show conducts thorough background checks and psychological evaluations.

He stressed that having children or a complex past does not automatically disqualify participants. Coelen noted that it's not their responsibility to ensure that participants disclose everything about their lives. He explained that production doesn't film 24/7, so there may be off-camera conversations that are not captured.

Coelen additionally addressed social media controversies surrounding the cast. He confirmed that participants did not have an obligation to disclose personal information to viewers on social media. He stated that Tyler and Ashley do not need to answer to criticism from third parties."

As for Tim Godbee and Alexandra Byrd, Coelen explained that the show can only include footage that was captured on film. He revealed that Alex publicly stated that certain private moments were kept off-camera.

When asked about Nick Dorka and Hannah Jiles, Coelen admitted that it's impossible to know someone's true intentions. He noted that just because someone wants to be on TV doesn't mean they don't also genuinely desire love. Coelen emphasized that they try to determine whether a person's primary motivation is to find a genuine connection.

Coelen additionally commented on Marissa and Ramses' conversation about Palestine, saying that the show aimed to reflect what is important to the participants. He explained that the conversation between Marissa, Ramses, and her friends was included because it was significant to their story.

Elsewhere in the interview, Coelen confirmed that there are no plans for future "After the Altar" specials. He said he doesn't believe such specials offer genuine content and become more focused on drama.
