Giannina From Love Is Blind Breaks Down Her and Damian's Shocking Finale


Perhaps the couple with the most shocking ending on the Love Is Blind finale was Giannina Gibelli and Damian Powers. No, their relationship wasn’t as smooth or ironclad as, say, Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton’s, but they seemed downright smitten with each other. There were fights, of course⁠—who can forget when Giannina told Damian that even though she was the best sex of his life, he wasn’t hers?—but overall I expected them to say, “I do” come wedding day.

That didn’t happen. In the end, Giannina was all in, but Damian was out. He said, “I don’t” at the altar, causing Giannina to run out of the venue—in her wedding dress—and trip on the ground. The two ultimately talked things out, but there was no happily ever after.

Not that we know of, at least. The Love Is Blind cast reunion airs next Thursday, March 5, on Netflix, and Giannina and Damian will surely give us more details then. In the meantime, we caught up with Giannina and had her break down that shocking finale, explain what went wrong, and offer a little insight into her love life now. Read the candid chat, below:

Glamour: This must be such a crazy time for you.

Giannina Gibelli: It’s been really exciting. It’s definitely been a bit of a shock. I didn’t think that this many people were going to fall in love with the show, but overall the support has been great. I’ve been in a pretty good head space with everything. It’s just a lot to take in all at once, but I’m hopeful. I think this is great. I love that people are accepting it like this.

Can you walk me through what you were feeling in that moment when Damian said he couldn’t marry you?

Giannina: Well, you go into a bit of a shock, right? You don’t really believe what’s happening. I process a lot of things really quickly. So I went from a moment of denial, to acceptance, to sadness, to anger, pretty much just all at once. Embarrassed, because I’m in front of my family and friends. It wasn’t his fault. We had to go to the altar. We didn’t have to get engaged, but we had to have the wedding. And he told me that he didn’t know what he was going to say until he saw me. You’re always hopeful, especially when you’re in your wedding dress, and you’ve made up your mind. It was a lot to take in and a lot of sadness, but a lot of humility and awareness of like, “Okay, I’ve got to pick myself up. I need to feel all these feelings, but I need to pick myself up eventually.”

How long did it take you to heal from the heartache of this experience, and what helped you heal from it?

Giannina: So overall, there was a big trickle effect, right? After the experience, your whole world gets taken upside down, because a lot of the things that you’ve always valued, or things that you’ve probably hidden, or feared for a really long time, come up to the surface. You have no choice but to face them and overcome them in a very honest and challenging way. It took me about nine months after the experience to start feeling like myself again. I did so much. I did career changes. I went on so many trips back home. Definitely took some time for myself to heal and to grow and do some soul-searching, but it wasn’t easy. But I’m really grateful for it, because it definitely happened to me for a reason.

The Love Is Blind Finale Has Arrived—and It's a Wild Ride of Emotions


This post contains spoilers for Netflix’s Love Is Blind, so consider yourself warned.

Netflix dropped the finale of their latest reality show, Love Is Blind, on February 27 and, honestly, it’s much-watch programming. In brief, the show is about a bunch of single people who moved into a house and tried to figure out if they could find their spouses without ever seeing the person until after they got engaged. Once that happened, they went on a vacation to get to know each other better, went home, moved in, met each other’s friends and family, and had to decide whether or not to go through with their weddings.

I was actually surprised at how emotionally invested I was in these relationships after such a short time. Some stories are sweet, others trainwrecks. Basically, just like real life.

So, who actually said “I do” in the finale, and what did the internet have to say about it? Because you know people had thoughts. Let’s break it down:

Giannina and Damian: I don’t!

The finale got off to a shocking start when Damian said he was not willing to marry Giannina, citing her up and down emotions during their short relationship. She took off, Runway Bride-style, out of the venue and into the woods, where the poor thing fell in the mud. Honestly, Giannina should be the next Bachelorette—unless Netflix has them locked into non-compete clauses in their contracts. This woman belongs on reality television.

Kelly and Kenny: I don’t!

What Happens in the ‘Bachelor’ Finale? The Women From Peter Weber’s Season Have Theories


The Bachelor’s fantasy suite episode is supposed to give viewers more clarity about who will be the front-runner in the finale, but this season? Not so much. “It’s insane,” Kelsey Weier, the fourth runner-up for Peter Weber’s final rose, tells Glamour. “It’s insane that nobody knows what happens. I thought by now I would know, and I don’t.”

To recap, Madison Prewett told Peter before the fantasy suite dates began that she wasn’t sure whether she could continue on the show if he was intimate with Hannah Ann Sluss or Victoria Fuller. She didn’t share with him that she’s saving herself for marriage, instead focusing on the fact that it would be hard for her to accept a proposal from someone who was sleeping with other women a few days earlier. Peter understood Madison’s concerns but wasn’t able to give her much reassurance. (This is, after all, The Bachelor.)

Knowing this, Peter still went on to have overnight dates with Hannah Ann and Victoria. And when he met up with Madison for their date—naturally, the producers made her go last—Peter admitted that he had been intimate with the other women. Madison excused herself, Peter followed, and they hugged and cried for what felt like hours. Peter begged Madison not to leave, but she walked away.

So is that it? Or was that just her way of ending their date? Will she show up at the rose ceremony? Bachelor Nation has so many questions—and we have to wait another week for answers.

Even if you want spoilers, they’re not out there. At least not with any certainty. Peter said at the start of this season that the finale wouldn’t be spoiled—which is rare for the series—and so far he’s right.

Is Peter with anyone? Did the final rose ceremony even happen? Did Hannah Brown come back? Did Peter’s final pick leave the show before he could propose? Or did one of his final two drop a bombshell that changed his mind?

At the “Women Tell All” taping, which airs Monday, March 2, Chris Harrison said that Peter season’s “ending is one that no one will see coming” and “if you think you know how the story ends, you don’t.” So with that said, we asked several of Peter’s now eliminated contestants for their best theories. One thing we know for sure: The “After the Final Rose” episode can’t come fast enough.

Tammy Ly

“There are so many different ways this could end, and so many of them are possible, but my best guess is Maddie left and then she came back and Peter is like, What the heck is going on? He thought he let her go, and now he’s going to take her back and they get married. But what if Hannah Brown comes back? My goodness!”

Sydney Hightower

“From about week two, you get a feeling for who someone is into, and Madison was that person. I was like, ‘They’ve got something and I don’t know if I can get there, but I want to.’ You can tell. I think Peter is going to be extremely happy with whichever way he goes, but I always saw a certain energy between him and Madison. He loves her. I know Madison personally; we live in the same state and have had many conversations, and one thing I pride Madison on is her ability to stay true to herself. Her courage is to stay strong to her faith and what she believes [and it] makes me feel like he sees something special in her. I feel she will get [past him sleeping with the other women].”

Kelsey Weier

“Honestly, [my finale prediction] changes every other day. Part of me thinks he’s with Hannah Ann, and part of me thinks he’s with Maddie. I’m friends with both of them, and they are two totally different people, but I could see him being with either one. I even asked Maddie, ‘Is this what happens?’ and she’s like, ‘No, you’re not even close.’ It’s driving me insane because I hate surprises. I don’t think Hannah Brown comes back and that’s just because she was filming Dancing With the Stars. But who knows? As for who Peter’s mother, Barbara, is talking about in that clip we’ve all seen, maybe she’s talking about Maddie since she already met her? But they do the spoilers for a reason. I feel like the producers are trying to sway us one way to distract us.”

Victoria Paul

“I wish I had some sort of idea or inkling on what’s going to happen, but I think I’ll be just as surprised as the rest of the world is. I do think there’s a rose ceremony and a ring. Other than that, I don’t know. The three women that are left are all incredible and each very different. But when I saw him at the ‘Women Tell All’ taping, he looked happy. I wouldn’t be surprised with anything.”

Alayah Benavidez

“I’m seeing different theories and think they all make sense. But the one about Peter being with a Bachelor producer is the most ridiculous one. People are grasping at straws at that point. We see Peter’s connection with Hannah Ann, and we see his connection with Madison. I think it’s one of those two. It obviously doesn’t end in a typical, ‘Will you accept this final rose? Will you marry me?’ way, but I think he’s with Maddie or Hannah Ann. I feel like Peter has a different relationship with Victoria F., and it’s very different from the one he has with Maddie and Hannah Ann. I don’t think a rose ceremony happens on the finale, because of Peter’s reaction to whatever Chris Harrison has to say. There’s no way he just walked into a rose ceremony. I think we don’t even get there.”

Shiann Lewis

“Does he ask anyone? Does he ask someone and they say no, but then he chases after them? Or the contestant chases after him? I truly don’t know. I wait every Monday for a new clip to come out so I can try and put the pieces together. At first I thought Peter’s mother was talking about Hannah Brown in that clip. And then, as the season went on, I thought, Maybe she’s talking about Madison because they had a conversation and there’s tension in the air about everything. Maybe Madison left and they’re like, ‘Bring her back!’ It frustrates me because I want more!”

Lexi Buchanan

“I definitely think he’s with one of the final two, but I don’t know in what capacity. It clearly took a lot to get there and probably wasn’t a very smooth ending. But I think Peter is a really strong person. Even if people want to call him indecisive, he has conviction in his decisions and he’s just trying his best. I’ve watched so many seasons, so how has this one not been spoiled? How does no one know? Maybe the final rose ceremony hasn’t happened? I have no clue.”

The Bachelor: Women Tell All airs Monday, March 2, on ABC. Jessica Radloff is the Glamour West Coast editor. You can follow her on Instagram @jessicaradloff14.

This Pic of the Friends Cast the Night Before They Filmed the Finale Will Make You Emotional


Friends may be gone from Netflix, but it still holds a Central Perk-sized place in our hearts forevermore.

The show will be streaming again soon enough when HBO Max launches later this year, but until then we have some of the cast out here on Instagram sharing behind-the-scenes memories and reunion dinners.

The latest throwback comes from Courteney Cox, who posted a photo to commemorate the 16th anniversary of final episode taping. (It happened on January 23, 2004.) She also shared a shot of the final script’s cover. “‘The Last Supper’ before taping ‘The Last One’ on Jan. 23, 2004. #tbt #friends,” Cox wrote in the caption. All six main cast members—Cox, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer—are present, along with copious amounts of food and sodas.

Kudrow wrote in the comments section, “Awwww???,” while Aniston used emojis to express her feelings with a simple, “???.” Jennifer Meyer, the jewelry designer and a close friend of Aniston and Cox, spoke for all Friends fans when she commented, “Stop teasing us and make this shit happen again @courteneycoxofficial @jenniferaniston thx ?.”

A Friends reunion show (of the non-scripted variety) has been in the works at HBO Max with interest from the entire cast. “We would love for there to be something,” she told Ellen DeGeneres in 2019. “But we don’t know what that something is. So we’re just trying. We’re working on something.” Unfortunately, though, the project recently hit a snag. Last week, HBO Max chief creative officer Kevin Reilly told the Television Critics Association, according to Deadline, “There is interest all around and yet we can’t get the interests all alighted to push the button on it.” For now, he called the reunion “just a maybe.”

Consider all of our fingers crossed. In the meantime, we have Instagram posts like Cox’s to keep us warm.

Peter Weber Says This Season's Bachelor Finale Is the Worst Thing He's Ever Gone Through


If she would have said that she wanted to give things with you another shot before you went on The Bachelor, would you have said yes, or would you have said, ‘No, I need to give The Bachelor a try?’

Peter: Well, this may be an unpopular opinion, but I would have said, yes, I need to give this opportunity a try with Hannah. That’s just my honest answer from the heart.

Is there anything you didn’t know when you watched the premiere last Monday? Any surprises you weren’t previously aware of?

Peter: I don’t think I realized how funny Victoria F. was! Just from her comments in the interviews, that girl is hysterical. But other than that, I don’t think there was anything insane that I didn’t know of. It’s just cool to see, because you’re not in the house, you’re not in the mansion, it’s kind of cool to see the girls and how they interact together.

John Fleenor

Did you know how they reacted to Hannah being there?

Peter: Well, I had an idea, but again, I didn’t know she was coming that first night. I was just as surprised as they were. I was really grateful they were so understanding when I went in to talk to them and explain why, but when she came back during the group date, I knew that was going to be awkward and uncomfortable. They reacted how I would if I were in their shoes, so I wasn’t mad about that. But it’s kind of cool for the first time to see the girls interact when I’m not there.

Looking back, what would you have told yourself heading into that first night as the Bachelor?

Peter: I want to say guard your heart more, but then I don’t, because I don’t regret that. That’s just who I am, and I’m someone that wears it on my sleeve. I don’t know if I would do anything different, but if I had to say something, maybe it would be that.

John Fleenor

You haven’t said if you’re engaged, but are you happy with how things turned out?

Peter: Yes. I can say I’m happy. I couldn’t have expected it to work the way it did, but I’m happy with where I’m at right now.

Is there still more to come, as we’ve seen the last few seasons? I mean, things haven’t really ended just because the finale has been filmed.

Peter: [Laughs] You guys will have to tune in to find out! That’s all I can give you! I want to tell you so bad, but I can’t!

This Is Us Season Four Fall Finale Recap: Isaac Aptaker Breaks Down Those Big Twists


Yeah, exactly. We had to make sure because we would get confused when we were writing it and we would have Rebecca get a text from Randall and then say, “Oh, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, that’s the wrong timeline! She wouldn’t be getting that text!” It’s just a process of constantly remembering where you are in space and time to make sure that it all makes sense when you look back on it.

We know Rebecca lives another 10 or 12 years into the future, so how much will the show explore the journey of how her health progresses?

That’s a really good question. We’re committed to telling this story really accurately and as medically honestly as possible. We always have our experts and our consultants, both anecdotally people who have experienced it personally and also doctors and experts in the field. That said, we also are very aware of how sad this story is. Whenever we tell a sad story, we’re always looking for the silver lining for the moments of joy, for the moments of triumph. We’re going to be both accurate and as uplifting as possible while telling something that is incredibly, incredibly sad.

NBC

When is the next time we’ll revisit the storylines set nine months from now?

That’s the Big Three’s 40th birthday, which every season has started with, so that will be the beginning of our fifth season. It’s not going to be a super long wait to get the answers to all of the questions that we just flash-forwarded to. It’s really by the end of this season and the very beginning of next that we’ll be caught up to that moment.

In the scenes set nine months from now, Kate’s wedding ring is still on. Is it accurate to say that even though she might be having trouble with her marriage, so far it’s still intact?

Yeah. I think even if things are bad with Toby, nine months is an incredibly fast time to go from married to divorced, especially when you have a young child. I think people should definitely be aware and concerned about the fact that Toby wasn’t in that flash-forward but, yes, she is wearing a ring. I think that would be awfully fast for them to be divorced.
