Danielle Ruhl, the breakout star of “Love Is Blind” season 2, is moving forward with her life after her high-profile divorce from co-star Nick Thompson.
In a candid new interview, the 29-year-old reality TV personality is shedding light on her personal journey in the aftermath of her marriage’s dissolution, including whether she has found love again.
Ruhl and Thompson, who captured the hearts of viewers during their tumultuous relationship on the Netflix dating series, announced their separation in August 2022, less than two years after tying the knot.
The split came as a shock to many fans who had rooted for the couple to overcome their differences and make their relationship work.

“It’s been a really difficult time, but I’m doing my best to focus on myself and my own growth,” Ruhl told Entertainment Tonight in a new interview. “I’m not rushing into anything, but I’m definitely open to finding love again when the time is right.”
The Chicago-based marketing executive admitted that the end of her marriage has left her feeling “guarded” when it comes to potential new relationships. However, she expressed cautious optimism about her future romantic prospects.
“I think I’ve learned a lot about what I need and what I’m willing to compromise on in a partner,” Ruhl said. “I’m just taking things slowly and trying to heal from the pain of the divorce.”
As for whether Ruhl has dipped her toe back into the dating pool, the “Love Is Blind” alum played coy, hinting that she has been approached by interested suitors but has yet to seriously pursue a new relationship.
“I’ve had a few people reach out, but I’m really just focusing on myself right now,” she revealed. “My priority is making sure I’m in a good place mentally and emotionally before I even consider getting serious with someone new.”
Ruhl’s candid comments come on the heels of speculation about her love life, with some fans wondering if she has found a new partner in the wake of her high-profile split.
While the reality star remained tight-lippedaout the details of her personal life, she emphasized the importance of self-care and taking the time to process the end of her marriage.
“Divorce is never easy, but I’m grateful to have an amazing support system,” Ruhl said. “I’m just taking it one day at a time and trusting that everything will work out the way it’s supposed to.”
As Ruhl continues on her journey of healing and self-discovery, her fans remain hopeful that the resilient “Love Is Blind” alum will ultimately find the happiness and fulfillment she deserves.
