‘Love Is Blind’ Season 2 Cast: Where Are They Now?

Nick Thompson and Danielle Ruhl: A Rollercoaster Journey

Chicago-based couple Nick Thompson and Danielle Ruhl were the epitome of love’s resilience. In March 2022, they opened up about their journey post-reality show, crediting couples therapy as their secret weapon for repairing the cracks in their relationship.

Danielle recounted their therapist’s insightful analogy, likening their communication styles to speaking different languages: “Danielle, you speak French. He speaks German. And when you’re talking to each other, it doesn’t translate.” They discovered that trying too hard without a translator (in the form of their therapist) only made things worse. But as they persevered, it got easier.

Danielle recognized that assumptions were their silent saboteurs. She highlighted the importance of articulating their needs, whether it meant seeking solitude or seeking comfort in a hug. “I have to verbalize, ‘This is what I need from you right now,’ and be patient with him not completely, always understanding what to do in those situations.”

Their first anniversary in June 2022 marked a milestone in their journey. Danielle shared, “Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday, and sometimes it feels like it was a lifetime ago.” She expressed her gratitude for the unexpected path that brought them together. The risks they took had paid off, and she reminisced about the memories, emotions, and reasons they said “I do.” She ended with a heartfelt declaration of love for Nick and anticipation for many more anniversaries.

However, just two months later, their story took an unexpected turn. On August 15, 2022, Danielle filed for divorce in Cook County Circuit Court in Illinois, signaling the end of their journey together.
