She is one of the single women cast in the 5th season of the Netflix reality TV series, “Love Is Blind”, which premiered on September 22, 2023. In the show, she tries to find her match to start a family with. She loves her family and wants her future husband to join in at Lao New Year celebrations with family and at crawfish boils with friends. Also, one of her best things is that she always remembers to bring food home, despite “her husband” did not ask for it! She says that she is also looking for a guy who can handle her strong determination and won’t complain if her hair ends up all around.
She and her fellow cast members meet other single men and they date without ever meeting each other in person. They focus on building an emotional connection instead of relying on physical attraction. Love Is Blind Season 5 is hosted by Nick Lachey and Vanessa Lachey.
“Love is Blind” is a social experiment featuring 14 single women and men from the same city, aiming to find true love. They go on dates for 10 days in special “pods” where they can’t see each other but communicate through a speaker, forming connections based on personalities rather than looks. Couples who connect may propose, and only after the proposal is accepted do they meet face-to-face.
Engaged couples then attend a couples’ retreat to deepen their connection, finally seeing all the cast members together. Afterward, they move into the same city apartment complex, meeting each other’s friends and families, and navigating personal habits and finances. The wedding takes place four weeks after moving in together, where they decide whether to continue the relationship or say “I Do.”
