Love Is Blind season 3’s Matt Bolton and Colleen Reed had a tough time staying together throughout the season but ultimately made it to the altar. After having little success with anyone but each other in the pods, Matt proposed to Colleen, and she accepted. The pair had a connection, and Matt felt comfortable enough with Colleen to speak about his past relationships, which ended in betrayal. The break in Matt’s trust left him finding it difficult to trust Colleen, and though she also had a connection with Cole Barnett in the pods, he decided to propose to her and see if their relationship could last.
Colleen accepted Matt’s proposal, excited to build a relationship with him after a tough time finding someone she was interested in building a life with in the past. The pair met and were happy as they traveled together, but their issues became clear in Love Is Blind season 3 after they spent a few nights together and then began to integrate others into their relationship. When Cole and Colleen spoke during a group event while the couples were traveling together, Matt quickly became enraged and got loud with Colleen. He threatened to pack his bags and leave her behind on the trip while Colleen cried, asking him to stay.

Matt and Colleen’s relationship and marriage were questioned from the beginning, and their breakup doesn’t come as too much of a shock. Given the nature of their split announcement, it does appear the former couple are amicable.
