Love Is Blind Star Michaella Giorgio Falls at Season 11 Reunion

"Love Is Blind" contestant Michaella Giorgio tripped and fell onstage during the Season 11 reunion after disclosing a secret romance with fellow castmate Matt Waldrip, according to Page Six. The reunion episode dropped Sunday on Netflix, closing out the season.

What happened at the Love Is Blind Season 11 reunion?

The reunion covered the fallout from Giorgio's broken engagement to co-star Rob Feeley and what came after it, Page Six reported. Giorgio told the group she had struck up a brief relationship with Waldrip once her engagement to Feeley ended. Waldrip described the relationship as meaningful and said he had fallen in love with her during that stretch, according to the outlet.

Who is Matt Waldrip and how did the secret romance start?

Waldrip appeared on Season 11 alongside Giorgio and Feeley. Page Six reported that the romance between Giorgio and Waldrip began after Giorgio's split from Feeley and was not revealed to viewers, or apparently most of the cast, until the reunion taping. Giorgio characterized the relationship as short, saying the two only dated a few weeks, the outlet reported.

What did Michaella Giorgio say about telling Waldrip she loved him?

Waldrip told the reunion that Giorgio had also declared her love for him during their time together, Page Six reported. Giorgio disputed the depth of that statement, saying she had not actually been in love with him despite having told him otherwise. Asked about the discrepancy, Giorgio said she had been on mushrooms at the time she told Waldrip she loved him, according to the outlet.

How did Michaella fall onstage?

The fall came later in the taping, during an unrelated, emotional segment involving castmate Sarah Williams. As Williams discussed the end of her marriage to fellow contestant John Shannon, the women in the cast gathered around her to offer support, Page Six reported. When Giorgio got up from the couch to join the group hug, she tripped over her dress and fell onstage. She tried to recover the moment by laughing and saying, "All to hug you!" according to the outlet.

What else happened during the reunion?

The Williams-Shannon segment carried its own revelations. Shannon acknowledged exchanging graphic text messages with a stripper, Page Six reported. Williams said Shannon had frequently insulted her during their marriage and that the messages were the final breaking point, according to the outlet. Giorgio's fall occurred as the cast moved to console Williams following that account.
