Lauren & Cameron: The Next Chapter

America’s favorite sweethearts, aka, Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton, of Netflix’s breakout hit tv show, Love is Blind, are stronger than ever, and we can’t wait for the next chapter of their love story to unfold. Since filming wrapped on the show in November 2018, the couple has been intently focused on working on strengthening their relationship and marriage in meaningful ways. For one, the Hamiltons have welcomed the adorable Mr. Sparkx (an Airedale terrier) to the mix, officially making them doggie parents. Additionally, the two are spending plenty of quality time together cooking, hiking, traveling, or just having quiet date nights in what is now “OUR HOME”, Lauren and Cameron confirm in unison. This year and a half together without the cameras rolling has dutifully prepared them for the monumental moment they’re currently experiencing, including a recent major press tour with their fellow podmates, making rounds in New York and Los Angeles, even having some fun on The Ellen Show.

The couple recently sat down with me to talk about their life post show, and what excites them about the future.

Ralinda: You’re America’s favorite couple. Did you ever see any of this coming?

Lauren: “We hoped that it would be successful and received well, and I don’t think that any of us, including the creators of the show, expected this. We’re talking all over the world in multiple countries — Brazil, South Africa, England, Norway — it’s unreal. The positive support and encouragement have exceeded what we ever imagined. It has been wonderful.”

Ralinda: So, who knew who was “the one” first?

Lauren: “I definitely told Cameron how I was feeling first. I was feeling something I hadn’t felt before in previous relationships. It was a strong connection.”

Cameron: “She told me that she loved me first, but it was fairly mutual. Things evolved pretty quickly.”

The newlyweds adjacent, the Hamiltons, take it all in stride, underscoring the importance of striking a balance with work, play, personal space, time together, and everything in between. Whether you’re watching these two from afar or up close, you can’t help but notice the love, respect, and admiration they have for each other. The two have organically rubbed off on each…
