Love is Blind Season 4 is in full swing. After going to Texas in season 2, this time around, the dating pods moved to Seattle, where a brand new group of 30 singles try falling in love and proposing before even setting eyes on each other.
So far, the show’s fourth installment is as dramatic as we’d hoped. And at the center of it is one young lady who’s been making headlines ever since the show’s premiere – Irina Solomonova. But who is this season’s “villain,” and why has she sparked so much controversy?
Who is Irina Solomonova from Love Is Blind Season 4?
Based on Irina Solomonova’s Instagram, she’s a business owner from Washinton, D.C. She is also a fitness enthusiast who loves to travel.
When asked if she had any words of wisdom for her potential match, she said, “I’d tell my future partner: buckle up for the emotional roller coaster of your life.”
Who is Irina together with in Love Is Blind Season 4?
While dating in the pods, Irina developed a strong connection with criminal defense attorney Zack Goytowski. While the 31-year-old did have some reservations about Irina (and a strong relationship with Bliss), Zack eventually chose to look past her potentially “vicious side” and made the last-minute decision to propose.
The romance quickly evaporated as soon as the two met outside the pods. Within seconds, Irina insulted poor Zack’s appearance. “You look like something out of a cartoon,” she tells him before continuing, “It’s creepy.”
The lack of sparks between the pair becomes even harder to watch in Mexico. While in the romantic resort, she avoided Zack like the plague and even created a pillow barrier on the bed to ensure she wouldn’t even have to touch him by accident. She also got busy flirting with Paul (who just so happened to be with Micah, Irina’s only friend in the group).
Are Irina and Zack still together?
To no one’s surprise, Zach and Irina are no longer a couple. Their split at the end of episode 5 seems as permanent as it gets. He broke up with her and even got in touch with Bliss, admitting he had made a mistake. So, maybe there is a happy ending in store for Zack?
During the breakup discussion, she told him, “I was gonna leave you right after I saw you.” She also admitted to not treating him as well as she should have.
In a recent interview with Today, Irina explained why the relationship between her and Zack ended: “It wasn’t anything about his looks or anything like that; it was more of the sense of feeling this gut feeling that he wasn’t the person for me.”
And just in case you still had some remnants of hope that these two may find a way to work through their issues in future episodes, Zack himself confirmed he and Irina have nothing to do with each other anymore: “I have not talked to Irina since Mexico. She sent me text messages, but I honestly never responded to any of them.”
What is Irina Solomonova’s age and birthday?
At the age of 26, Irina was the youngest contestant to enter the Love is Blind pods. She was born on the 21st of November 1996 in Washington, DC, making her a Scorpio.
What business does Irina Solomonova own in real life?
Irina owns the events planning company Solo collective, a business she founded in 2020.
The company puts together bridal parties, birthday parties, corporate events, and more.
