‘Love Is Blind’ Season 11’s Diana Perrone Reveals Unseen Pods Engagement
While Diana Perrone knows viewers saw her as “the other woman,” she revealed that she lived out her own unseen love story in the pods.
During Season 11 of Love Is Blind, Diana Perrone entered the pods looking for “an ‘alpha’ man who’s the leader of his pack” to match her energy. There, viewers saw her connect with Rob Feeley, who ended up getting engaged to Michaella Giorgio. During the most infamous moment of the season, Rob and Diana met face-to-face, sparking Rob’s massive crashout and leading to his and Michaella’s split before their wedding day.
While Diana definitely captured fans’ attention this season, she got candid about her own journey during a recent podcast, rewriting everything we thought we knew about her experience on the show. Scroll to find out who she got engaged to in the pods, why they didn’t go to Mexico, and more.
Who did Diana date in the pods?
While viewers know that Diana dated Rob in the pods, she revealed on the Fan or Fanatic podcast that she got even closer to Michael Arisco, an account executive from Connecticut. On the podcast, Diana shared that she was certain Michael was less her typical type than Rob, but she felt a much stronger connection with him.

Did Diana and Michael get engaged?
Diana and Michael did get engaged in the pods. She posted a photo of her engagement ring from the experience on Instagram, which you can see below, proving that Michael did pop the question during the experience.
She also shared on the podcast, “I don’t know if I’m even supposed to say this yet, but, girl, I got engaged. I didn’t give a s**t about Rob and Michaella.” Diana added that the only reason the series didn’t follow their storyline in the season was that they didn’t go to Mexico.
Why didn’t Diana and Michael go to Mexico?
According to Diana, Michael had “filming anxiety,” so he wanted to exit the experiment after meeting face-to-face. For that reason, they did not travel to Mexico with the rest of the cast. Diana explained, “He wanted to continue things here. He was getting filming anxiety, as it looks like a lot of the guys were.” As she put it, “I was mad,” because he didn’t discuss the choice with her before declining the offer.
Are Diana and Michael still together?
No, Diana and Michael are no longer engaged. Diana shared that she remains “a little resentful” toward Michael for bowing out of the experiment, even though they continued their relationship for a little bit back home. Since they didn’t continue with the show, she became part of Michaella and Rob’s story.
