Love Is Blind’s Colleen Reed admitted to having baby fever nearly one month before announcing her breakup with husband Matt Bolton.
“You know what? I actually have a ton of baby fever, and I didn’t think I would, but every time I see a little cute stinking baby …” Colleen, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly at Us + Maidenform’s Reality Star Style Awards party on April 22. “I definitely have baby fever and especially with Vienna. Oh, my gosh, yeah.”
During season 3 of Love Is Blind, cameras rolled as Colleen and Matt, 30, met in dating pods before getting married in the summer of 2021.
During the season, Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux also found love on the Netflix reality show and welcomed a baby girl named Vienna in July 2024.
When asked whether Matt also had baby fever, Colleen suggested it wasn’t at the same level.
“With the guy, it’s always a little bit harder,” she shared from The Highlight Room in New York City. “I think he definitely wants a bunch of kids, but he doesn’t really necessarily know what it takes. I would say I would have the most baby fever, for sure.”
On Friday, May 23, Colleen and Matt surprised some fans when they announced their split after four years of marriage.
In a joint Instagram post, the pair said they had been separated for “some time now” and were trying to navigate a new chapter privately.
“We met in the most unique and unexpected way, and we’ll always be grateful for the love and memories we shared,” the couple shared in their statement. “There’s not one thing we would change and we continue to have deep respect and care for one another.”
While Colleen acknowledged to Us last month that not every Love Is Blind couple receives a happily ever after, she was proud of the work she and Matt put into their relationship once cameras stopped rolling.
“We had so many challenges,” she explained. “But I would say with all the audience and all the eyeballs is definitely the hardest to go through and all of the opinions and everything. I would say that was 100 percent the biggest challenge. But then you have your own everyday challenges that you go through in a relationship and a marriage. So with everything, it’s definitely a pressure cooker, so you just have to be strong with yourself and with your relationship.”
When asked what was the next big relationship milestone she was looking forward to, Colleen said she was open to what the future held.
“I feel like wherever the wind takes us at the moment, nothing is really holding us down,” she said. “Just kind of exploring our own careers, and we love Dallas so just being free. We’re still really young and going where the wind takes us.”
