Somerville Native Stars In Netflix's 'Love Is Blind' Season 6

SOMERVILLE, NJ —A Somerville native and high school graduate is appearing on the new season of Netflix's reality show "Love is Blind."

Johnny McIntyre, 28, is among the 30 men and women to appear on the show which dropped its first six episodes on Valentine's Day. Three more episodes were released on Wednesday.

This season is based in North Carolina, but McIntyre says during one of his pod interviews that he hails from New Jersey. He graduated from Somerville High School and then went on to attend college and graduate from East Carolina University.

As an account executive, McIntyre said he tried to find "the one" through dating apps, in grocery stores, and on blind dates, according to his Netflix description.

"But he’s had trouble forming anything beyond a 'really surface level' connection, so he’s coming to Love Is Blind to tune out all other distractions and dig deep," according to Netflix.

McIntyre is an avid snowboarder who hits the mountains almost every weekend and has dreams of learning how to fly a plane, according to Netflix.

"I’m not just some 27-year-old kid. I’m an adult now, and I want to see what it takes to make [this experience] work," said McIntyre to Netflix.

Spoiler Alert: With the first nine seasons out, McIntyre has made a connection with Amy Cortes. They end up getting engaged and spending some time in Dominican Republic before moving in together in Charlotte, North Carolina. But will they get married?

Episodes 10 and 11 will be released on Feb. 28 and Episode 12 (the finale) will be released on March 6 on Netflix.
