Here’s a look at all the cast members joining Love Is Blind season 8.

Ashley Ellen Suter

Client Success Manager

Ashley Ellen Suter, 28, was told she was “too much” by her previous partners. Therefore, she hopes to find someone who will embrace her for who she is.

Commercial Real Estate Broker

Alex Brown, 29, is a jack of all traders. Besides riding a unicycle, Alex is gifted at playing a couple of instruments, including guitar, violin, bass, drums, and more.

Tiera Shavone

Marketing Strategist

The only thing she won’t compromise on is her faith.

Benjamin “Benji” Smith, 26, is a digital nomad and hasn’t lived in one place for the last seven years. He hopes his partner will have the same adventure thrill and doesn’t mind globetrotting. That would work, considering it is not the first time this has happened on Love Is Blind.

In Love Is Blind: UK, Benaiah Grunewald Brydie was technically “homeless” when he joined the show. Still, he got married to Nicole Stevens, and their connection has grown over the past two years. Benji is bound to connect with someone spontaneously once Love Is Blind season 8 premieres.
