Ghosted at the Altar: Virginia Miller Speaks Out on Devin Buckley’s Sudden Disappearance

In a twist that’s as shocking as it is relatable, Virginia Miller from Netflix’s “Love Is Blind” season eight has opened up about her post-filming heartbreak, revealing that her ex-fiancé, Devin Buckley, ghosted her after they broke up at the altar. Can you imagine standing at the altar, feeling the weight of your decision, and then, poof! He’s gone? Virginia recounted her experience exclusively to E! News, sharing that after their dramatic wedding day, where she ultimately chose not to say “I do,” she reached out to Devin for a week before he completely cut off communication. “He stopped answering my phone calls,” she lamented, noting the emotional toll this ghosting has taken on her, especially after introducing him to her family and friends.
Despite Devin saying “I do” during their wedding, Virginia was the one who pulled the plug. She cited fundamental differences—particularly their political views—as reasons for her decision, suggesting that they had simply failed to address deeper issues. It begs the question: What kind of engagement leads to such miscommunication? Virginia expressed confusion over Devin’s choice to proceed with the marriage, stating, “I don’t know why he said, ‘I do.’ We talked about it previously.” It’s clear that navigating love in a reality TV environment is as complicated as it is entertaining.
In the world of reality TV relationships, Virginia’s story isn’t unique. Other couples from “Love Is Blind” season eight have also faced their own struggles, such as Monica Danús and Joey Leveille, who decided against marriage, acknowledging they weren’t ready despite the love they shared. Similarly, Lauren O’Brien and David Bettenburg encountered their own roadblocks, with family dynamics complicating their romance.
As Virginia moves forward, she’s focusing on self-discovery and healing, expressing interest in freezing her eggs and embracing life as a single woman. “I’m open to dating,” she stated, reflecting a proactive approach to love and self-care. After all, who wouldn’t want a little adventure after being ghosted at the altar?
This saga serves as a reminder that reality TV may not always mirror real life, but it certainly captures the chaotic emotions we all experience in the search for love.
