Sparkle Megan would like a word. Following the release of the Love Is Blind season 9 finale, Megan Walerius is pushing back on haters. On October 22, Megan asked for kindness on Instagram amid reports that she is going to announce that she welcomed a baby at the Love Is Blind reunion.
“I know y’all have had a front row seat to my story through Love Is Blind, but there’s no room for hate here—today or ever,” Megan wrote in an Instagram Story. “Zero patience for negativity, and the block button is putting in serious work today.” She added, “Be kind or be quiet.”

Megan also disabled the comments on her most recent post, which featured photos of herself going wedding dress shopping with the other engaged women on the show. Meanwhile, Jordan also shared a post asking for kindness on his Instagram Stories, though he didn’t mention Megan.

It’s unclear what exactly prompted the message, but fans turned on Megan after the finale, in which she broke up with her fiancé Jordan Keltner before the wedding, saying that she felt they had different lifestyles and ultimately wouldn’t be a good fit. Jordan, meanwhile, felt that if he had made more money, they would have tied the knot.
One of her major hesitations to commit to Jordan came from the prospect of becoming a stepmother to Jordan’s young son, Luca. “I don’t think I thought through how challenging it is and how I would need to make a lot of concessions to how I currently live,” she told the cameras after the breakup. “I mean, maybe I’m just not cut out to be a stepmom.”

So, when reports emerged claiming that she had welcomed a baby since filming Love Is Blind (which took place over a year-and-a-half ago, FYI), some of Megan’s critics apparently saw fit to call BS on her reasoning. But Megan welcoming a child does not mean that she wasn’t genuinely concerned about her life a a step-parent. It wasn’t just that she was concerned about changing her lifestyle for a child—she was worried about changing her lifestyle to fit Jordan’s parenting style, which she might not always agree with.
For example, Megan said she wants a partner who can travel with her, but Jordan said travel was too difficult with a five-year-old. Now, I do not doubt him. However, Jordan’s assessment of what you can and cannot do with a child isn’t universal. Every parent has to figure out what works best for them, and it’s possible that Megan simply doesn’t intend to parent in the same way Jordan does—at least not when it comes to travel. And that’s okay.
