usmagazine.com:

A tangled web! Kwame Appiah was involved in a dramatic love triangle with fiancée Chelsea Griffin and fellow contestant Micah Lussier throughout Love Is Blind season 4.Kwame, 32, sparked immediate pod connections with both Chelsea, 31, and Micah, 27, sight unseen.

While the Portland, Oregon, resident was sold on proposing to Micah early on, she eventually broke things off in pursuit of her other pod romance with eventual fiancé Paul Peden.

After some heartbreaking soul-searching, Kwame realized that Chelsea had been steadfast in her love all along and he decided to pop the question.While the sales marketing manager and the speech pathologist enjoyed exploring their physical connection after meeting face-to-face, lingering feelings for Micah continued to surface after the cast’s Mexico pool party.

Kwame even noted that she still held a “special place” in his heart despite getting engaged to other people.“I think no matter what, especially when you start looking at the life that you have now, but when you think about the connection I have with Chelsea — Zack [Goytowski] mentions this a lot — the pod relationship you have with someone [is] completely different from the actual relationship you have with someone,” he exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the season 4 premiere, referring to Zack’s own love triangle with ex-fiancée Irina Solomonova and new fiancée Bliss Poureetezadi. “Like when I went past the pods with Chelsea, I was just like, ‘OK, this is almost a reflex for us, the way we interact, the way we under understand each other.’”Kwame added: “I just don’t believe that would’ve ever been the case with Micah, and I can respect that.
