A fleeting yet awkward encounter occurred between two Love Is Blind contestants, Devin and Brittany, when they discovered an unexpected commonality.
Devin, a 29 year old director of a youth sports company, and Brittany, a 34 year old partnership executive, were getting acquainted in the pods when they began discussing their parents. Brittany confessed that her mother was apprehensive about her participating in reality TV and wanted to shield her, while she hadn't informed her father.
Upon revealing her father's name as "Willie", Devin was taken aback and asked if it was: "William or just Willie?" When she confirmed it was just "Willie" he shared that his father had the same name. The situation took a bizarre turn when they realised both their fathers were named Willie Junior, after their own fathers.
Brittany humorously remarked, "I hope our dads don't got the same dad."

Devin quickly dismissed the idea, saying, "It's not the same dad! No, no, it's not. It's not." They resolved the issue when Brittany revealed her father's surname was "Pete". This incident followed Devin's dilemma of choosing between Brittany and another contestant, healthcare recruiter Virginia, 34, reports the Mirror.
In the men's quarters, Devin confessed his struggle to choose the right woman for him. Later, in a VT, he stated, "Between Virginia and Brittany it's pretty even right now. Just like teeter totter up and down."
He added, "I don't think if I have to pick today I'd be able to pick between the two. I think they're both really amazing in different ways."
He shared, "I think me and Brittany have an instant connection. We are both interested in the same things. We were both basketball players like through our whole lives and she also coached basketball."
The show has dropped a binge-worthy six episodes for fans to devour, with additional episodes set to roll out in the coming weeks.
