Love Is Blind: Damian Powers & Giannina Gibelli’s Relationship Timeline - Screen Rant

Damian Powers and Giannina Gibelli from Love Is Blind went through the wringer in their relationship both onscreen and off. They built a bond without even knowing what the other looked like. After they left the pods of the Netflix dating show behind, their relationship grew more complex. Eventually it became too much to keep together.

Two years of dating saw Damian and Giannina through a lot of breakups and subsequent make ups. Fans consistently weighed in on where they thought things fell apart. We're taking a look back at their entire relationship to see how everything developed and devolved.

Damian & Giannina Got Engaged Without Seeing Each Other

Like all the other couples on Love Is Blind, Damian and Giannina sparked their connection by speaking to each other through a wall. The two had a good bond, laughing and connecting over shared interests. Their love bloomed when Giannina surprised fans by proposing to Damian. Once they met in person and went off to Cancun with the other couples, they continued to develop their relationship. Although things seemed to be going alright, fans noticed some red flags popping up as arguments between Damian and Giannina started to become more frequent.

Damian Said "I Do Not" At Their Wedding

In perhaps the most dramatic moment of the season, Damian refused to get married to Giannina at the altar. He claimed that he was willing to see their relationship through, but said that he couldn't handle her being all in one day and just friends the next. Giannina fled the wedding in tears, clearly torn up by what had happened. When they reunited to talk through what had happened, Giannina was still angry and the two ended the series on very rocky terms.

Damian & Giannina Were Back Together By The Cast Reunion

A wedding blow-up couldn't keep these two apart. Damian and Giannina reconciled soon after the wedding, each having taken some time to reflect on what they needed to work on. The pressure that the show applied seemed to be the primary issue for the couple. Out in the real world, they had the opportunity to move more slowly. They rekindled their friendship and a real romance bloomed from there. When the season 1 reunion aired a few months later, Damian and Giannina appeared very much in love. Damian consistently shared photos of them together on his Instagram throughout 2020, so they seemed to be going strong.

Love Is Blind After The Altar Showed Damian & Giannina Were Having Issues

On the follow-up special Love Is Blind: After the Altar, both Damian and Giannina revealed they were still working through some issues. It had been two years since the wedding, and they were still having small but frequent fights. Things got extra tense when Too Hot To Handle's Francesca Farago arrived at the anniversary party, after being invited by Damian. Rumors spread that Damian was dating Francesca when paparazzi photos of the two out together surfaced earlier in the year, though Damian asserted the two were just friends. Giannina was furious that Damian invited Francesca to the party, and the two had a big blow up during the festivities.

Giannina Opened Up About Their Split

Soon after the premiere of Love Is Blind: After the Altar Giannina revealed that the two had broken up. “I am officially single. Me and Damian haven’t been dating for a couple of months now," she said to Entertainment Weekly. The altercation with Francesca seemed to be the last straw. Giannina talked about being caught very off guard by Francesca's arrival, and it pushed her over the edge with Damian. While the two may be able to reconcile again, they are both in a happier place apart for the time being.
