Chelsea Blackwell, the most infamous star of Love Is Blind season 6, has lost a considerable amount of weight recently. The internet’s obsession with Chelsea started when she told Jimmy Presnell that people often tell her she resembled movie star and bombshell Megan Fox. Social media immediately pounced on the claim, and fans took to her Instagram comments to give their collective opinion. Jimmy was visibly thrilled at the prospect of Chelsea resembling a gorgeous movie star, and proposed to her soon after.
After leaving the Love Is Blind season 6 pods, Jimmy and Chelsea struggled to maintain the connection they had in the pods. Though the couple initially had chemistry, Jimmy couldn’t manage Chelsea’s jealousy and insecurity. Chelsea was especially jealous of Jessica Vesta, who Jimmy also had a relationship with in the pods. When their weddings were approaching, Jimmy told Chelsea he couldn’t go to the altar with her. Chelsea was heartbroken and still stinging from all the online abuse, but she focused on improving herself. Now, Chelsea has slimmed down, and she’s looking better than ever.
Chelsea Has Lost Weight
The Incredible Shrinking Woman
Chelsea first opened up about her weight loss in an April TikTok. Chelsea told her 388k followers she’s already seen some progress after making a few small changes. “I’m not a nutritionist by any means,” Chelsea said, adding, “I’ve never been a small girl my entire life, and I’m okay with that.” The Love Is Blind season 6 cast member explained that she embarked on this journey because she felt unhealthy. “I wasn’t feeling strong,” she admitted, adding, “It was affecting my mental health, and it was affecting my energy level, so I just decided to change things.”
” Before and after, absolutely insane the difference in how I look and feel .”
To lose weight, Chelsea focused on intermittent fasting and eating a diet rich in protein, fruits, and vegetables. She also drinks 90 ounces of water and walks for 45 minutes a day. In April, 31-year-old Chelsea posted before and after pictures to her Instagram Stories with the caption, “Before and after, absolutely insane the difference in how I look and feel.”
Chelsea & Jimmy’s Journey
Is Love Blind?
Chelsea and Jimmy first met during the pods and immediately hit off. While Jimmy was also dating Jess, he chose Chelsea after she revealed her Megan Fox resemblance. While in Punta Cana for the Love Is Blind honeymoon, Jimmy told producers, “She definitely lied to me about some, uh, how she looked.” Jimmy said that he still found Chelsea attractive, but it seems he was more put off by her lying. Jimmy also accused Chelsea of being insecure and clingy.
Things got worse after an episode of Love Is Blind season 6 when a drunken Chelsea lost her cool and yelled at Jimmy for going out for a quick drink with friends. Jimmy handled her outburst with admirable patience and restraint, but it didn’t stop Chelsea from emotionally airing her insecurity. She accused Jimmy of not loving her, told him he wasn’t the person she wanted to be with, and ended the relationship.
Jimmy and Chelsea got back together after Chelsea sobered up the next day, but Jimmy ended the relationship before the wedding.
Chelsea Was Controversial
Megan Fox-Gate
Chelsea set the internet on fire during one of their pod dates when she asked Jimmy if he had a celebrity doppelgänger. Before he could answer, the flight attendant went on to say passengers had said she looked like the actress. Jimmy got down on one knee and proposed to Chelsea at the end of episode six, once before he saw her face-to-face and once after. While he was disappointed she didn’t look like Megan Fox, Jimmy was attracted to Chelsea. However, he brought it up again when Chelsea’s friends visited, and they backed Chelsea’s Megan Fox claims.
Are Chelsea & Jimmy Presnell Still Together?
Irreconcilable Differences
Before the Love Is Blind season 6 wedding days, Chelsea wanted to continue the relationship and head to the altar. It was Jimmy who chose to end things, and it had nothing to do with Chelsea’s looks. Chelsea had driven Jimmy away with her jealousy and endless insecurities.
Judging by her behavior on the show, Chelsea needs constant verbal affirmations, and Jimmy isn’t the type of person who can offer that.
Also, the even-keeled Jimmy was ill-equipped to handle Chelsea’s emotional outbursts. Unlike some of the other season 6 couples, Jimmy broke up with Chelsea before dragging her to the altar on their wedding day.
Fans Love To Hate Chelsea
“Nothing Makes Me Scared”
On February 16, Chelsea addressed the drama directly on Instagram, where she reposted a TikTok of herself putting her makeup on and mouthed along with the dialogue, “Nothing makes me scared.” The video is subtitled “POV: Watching Love Is Blind and waiting for THAT scene,” and the caption reads, “Just out here being humbled by the internet.” The internet took issue with the post, and the top comment, which comes from @makeupbysava.nah, reads, “Good bc you needed to be humbled lmao.”
