We've only just about recovered from the drama that was the Love Is Blind season five reunion, from Uche being a no-show, to Taylor and JP's awkward first meeting since Mexico, to the revelation Izzy and Stacy are now friends, there was a lot to catch up on with this chaotic cast. And it appears the revelations just keep coming, as cast member Johnie Maraist has just confirmed she is in a new relationship following her breakup from Chris Fox.

Sharing the news of her new relationship on Instagram, Johnie posted a carousel of pictures with her new boyfriend structural aerospace engineer Alex Yovanovic and revealed they have been dating for over a year now.

Johnie captioned the sweet selection of images: "Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven 🩵 Happy one year, Alex - thank you for showing me what true love is."

Johnie also shared a selection of photos of herself with Alex on her Instagram in a video captioned: "I'm doing just fine 🩵."

Fellow cast member Aaliyah commented on the video slideshow: "Hey my favs ❤️✨."

During Sunday's (15th October) reunion episode Johnie and Chris revealed they were no longer together. The pair initially got on well during the pods, however Johnie was also interested in pursing things with Izzy Zapata.

She ended up cutting things off with Chris to focus purely on Izzy. After she shared some very personal moments from her past with Izzy, he decided he was actually more interested in focusing on Stacy Snyder.

Johnie then went back to Chris saying she had made a mistake, but Chris didn't agree to take Johnie back, and so things ended for the two of them as well.

That was until the pair ran into each other at the airport after leaving filming in the pods and instantly developed their connection.

They began dating straight away and appeared during subsequent Love Is Blind season five episodes. However, during the reunion the pair revealed they were no longer together.

Chris revealed he had cheated on Johnie shortly after their appearance at the Love Is Blind BBQ meet up. Chris had attended a friend's wedding and did not contact Johnie for weeks afterwards. A friend of Johnie's then told Johnie they had seen Chris with another woman.

During the reunion Chris apologised for not handling the relationship properly and the two appeared to be on good terms.

The shocking revelations didn't end there though, as Izzy and Johnie revealed that after Izzy had broken up with Stacy, and Johnie and Chris had ended their relationship, the pair shared a kiss at a bar in Houston during a cast meet up, but things didn't progress further.

Johnie ended her segment on the reunion by revealing she had been dating a new man who turned out to be Alex, who she has since shown on Instagram.

Love Is Blind season five is available on Netflix now
