Daniel Hastings

Daniel Hastings is a 30-year-old sales account executive from Minneapolis–St. Paul, working at Popular Equipment Finance in Edina, Minnesota. He was once a Gerber baby model.

Inspired by his parents’ long-lasting marriage — now 35 years strong — Daniel went on “Love Is Blind” hoping to find deep, enduring love. He bonded instantly with Taylor Haag in the pods over their mutual love for Christmas, Taco Bell, and shared faith. Their connection hit a dramatic high when Taylor suspected Daniel of having followed her on Instagram prior to filming. He consistently and calmly denied it, encouraging her to verify via an app and earning her trust again.

Daniel and Taylor emerged as the only couple from Season 8 to marry in March 2024. At the reunion, he surprised everyone with a chest tattoo of Taylor’s eyes and they bought a house together in Minneapolis, planning a future with a dog and children.
