It was through a Netflix social experiment that Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson met and fell in love.
The two met on the set of the second season of the famous reality show Love Is Blind, which debuted on the streaming service in 2022.
They were the first to become engaged that season and Ruhl and Thompson hit it off immediately. Their Chicago wedding was on June 8th, 2021.
The couple had been married for over a year when, in August of 2022, Ruhl filed for divorce from Thompson.
Thompson told PEOPLE a few months before their split that they had been in couples counseling for “nearly the entire time since we’ve finished [the program].”
