Shortly after the new season of the popular dating show came out on Netflix, a TikTok user named Ryann Stringfellow shared a video expressing shock at seeing her boyfriend on the show.

She didn't say who her boyfriend was, though, because she kept calling him the love of her life and hoped they could get past this.
Stringfellow talked about how she thought her boyfriend was on a business trip at first, but he was actually taking part in the dating experiment. She mentioned feeling unable to compete with one of the female contestants, who she described as stunning and a mother. Some people on the Internet think that her boyfriend might be Jimmy Presnell, while others say they don't believe what she's saying.
One TikToker, Yuval Ben-Hayun, known for debunking viral videos, investigated Stringfellow's social media profiles and believes she might not have had a boyfriend at all. He pointed out that the 'Love is Blind' contestants had been promoting the show on their Instagram accounts, suggesting that if Stringfellow were dating any of them, she would have noticed the promotional posts earlier. Ben-Hayun also suggested that Stringfellow might have posted the video to profit from its views on TikTok.
However, Wilda Harrison, a relationship psychologist, notes, that people make up stories all the time to get what they want or to simply get attention.
"Never feel sorry for the person because of the TikTok video. Instead, think about the story they are telling and see it from different points of view. Just consider these things and be nice to everyone."
