So, if you’ve been keeping up with the Denver-based mess that was Love Is Blind Season 9, there is one name that probably lives rent-free in your head: Megan Walerius. Or, as she basically insisted everyone call her, "Sparkle Megan." Honestly, she was easily the most polarizing and talked-about person in the pods this time around. Some people loved the "boss babe" energy, others found the third-person self-referencing a bit much, but you can't deny she made for great TV.
But here is the thing. While the show made it look like her story ended with a tearful breakup at the finish line, the reality of what happened after the cameras stopped rolling is actually way more wild. If you haven't seen the reunion yet, buckle up.
The Sparkle Megan Love Is Blind Season 9 Rollercoaster
Megan didn't just walk into the pods; she sparkled into them. Literally. She wore sequined sneakers and made it very clear that she has high standards. At 35, she’s a successful entrepreneur who runs a wellness brand called Veyda. She was looking for someone who wasn't intimidated by her success—something she claimed had been a dealbreaker in her past relationships in California before she moved back to Colorado.
In the pods, she was essentially the center of a very messy love triangle. You had Mike Brockway, the real estate investor who felt "familiar" to her, and then you had Jordan Keltner, the service manager and single dad.
Megan ended up choosing Jordan. Their connection felt deep, mostly because they bonded over something incredibly personal: Type 1 diabetes. Megan’s late father lived with the condition, and Jordan’s 5-year-old son, Luca, also has it. It felt like "fate" to her. But as we saw once they got back to the real world in Denver, "fate" doesn't pay the bills or fix a fundamental lifestyle mismatch.

Why Megan and Jordan actually called it quits
It’s easy to blame the breakup on the stress of the show, but the cracks were way deeper than that. Megan lives a very specific, high-end lifestyle. She owns her home, she drives a luxury car, and she prioritizes wellness and travel. Jordan, meanwhile, was working a demanding job with a schedule that didn't allow for much flexibility, especially as a single parent.
They were basically living in two different universes.
During the finale, Megan broke things off before they even got to the altar. She admitted that she realized being a stepmom to Luca was a much bigger commitment than she had anticipated in the vacuum of the pods. She felt they weren't compatible, and honestly, she wasn't wrong. Jordan later mentioned that he felt his financial situation and work-life balance played a huge role in why she pulled away.
The Reunion Bombshell: A Secret Pregnancy and a New Man
If you thought the Megan Love Is Blind Season 9 saga ended with that breakup, the reunion episode proved everyone wrong. While most of the cast was arguing about who said what in the group chat, Megan dropped a literal human-sized bombshell.

She’s a mom now.
Yeah, you read that right. Only three months after she and Jordan split, Megan was introduced to a guy named Paul Wegman by a mutual friend. Paul is the CEO of an automation company and, according to Megan, he’s about 11 years older than her. Apparently, things moved "hot and heavy" very quickly.
The timeline that had everyone doing math
The internet went into a frenzy trying to figure out how she had a baby so fast. Here’s the breakdown:
- Filming: Season 9 was filmed in early 2024 (roughly March/April).
- The Split: She and Jordan broke up right at the end of filming.
- The Meeting: She met Paul in July 2024.
- The Pregnancy: She found out she was pregnant just three months into dating Paul.
- The Birth: Her son, Brooks, was born in the summer of 2025.
By the time the reunion aired in late October 2025, little Brooks was already two and a half months old. Megan managed to keep the entire pregnancy a secret from the public, even hosting a "phone-free" baby shower to make sure nothing leaked. Only a couple of people from the cast, like Jordan and Kacie McIntosh, knew the truth before the cameras started rolling for the reunion.

What Megan is doing now
Life looks a lot different for "Sparkle Megan" these days. She’s still running her business, Veyda, but she’s pivoted heavily into the "wellness mom" space. She’s mentioned that becoming a mother has made her much more selfless—a bit of a nod to the criticisms she faced during the season about being too focused on her own lifestyle.
She also seems to be on decent terms with Jordan. At the reunion, she actually thanked him for the experience, saying that seeing him as a single dad gave her a lot of empathy and prepared her for her own journey into parenthood.
So, what can we take away from the Megan saga?
- The "Pod Bubble" is real: You can bond over shared trauma (like health issues), but that doesn't mean you can share a bank account or a calendar.
- Privacy is possible: Even in the age of social media, Megan proved you can hide a whole human being for nine months if you’re disciplined enough.
- Lifestyles matter: If you're a "Type A" entrepreneur and your partner is a struggling service manager, the "opposites attract" thing usually has an expiration date.
If you’re looking to follow her journey, she’s still active on Instagram (@meganwalerius), though she’s been pretty protective of her new family. It’s clear that while the pods didn't give her a husband, they definitely cleared the path for the life she has now.
