In the world of reality TV, Love Is Blind Season 5 brought us the heartwarming love story of Lydia Velez Gonzalez and James Milton Johnson IV. A year and a half after their unforgettable wedding in the Season 5 finale, the couple still stands strong.

A New Chapter: Lydia and Milton’s Career Aspirations
Lydia and Milton, like many modern couples, find themselves caught between their blossoming careers and their enduring love. Lydia shared her perspective during a recent interview with EW, shedding light on their new journey.
“Right now we’re really focused on our careers,” Lydia begins. “I got a new job; it just started a month ago. He has a new job too, although he’s been there for a year. However, he just got relocated to Long Beach. We are trying to get used to this new schedule, and he’s also pursuing his MBA. He loves to go to school; apparently, this is his second master’s. We are just trying to really thrive in our careers.”
The geographical gap now separates them, with Lydia residing in Houston while Milton finds himself in the coastal city of Long Beach, California. Their lives have become a whirlwind of flights and fleeting moments. “We just miss each other so much,” Lydia confesses. “So every second that we have together, we try to cherish it and be there for each other when we are in the same place. Right now, we’re limited. The challenge is just traveling in airports; I hate airports so much. But besides that, it’s been amazing. We really miss each other, and it just makes you love each other more. It’s so good to have him here when you come from work instead of being alone. He is your best friend, so obviously, you want to see him all the time.”
A Glimpse into the Future: Love, Family, and More
As for the possibility of introducing the world to the first-ever Love Is Blind baby, Lydia admits it’s too early to make any concrete plans. “We’re not there; we are not in our full potential yet,” she says. “But yes, it is in our plans to form a family and have a baby. That’ll come along the way.”
Lydia’s words resonate with the sentiment that love finds a way, no matter the distance. Her affectionate words about her partner Milton reveal that their love remains as vibrant as ever. She wishes that viewers could witness more of the positive and fun aspects of their relationship, rather than focusing solely on the dramatic moments or her past with ex Uche Okorhoa.
“This is not my show, and I appreciate that everybody has their job to put out the most entertaining show for the viewers,” Lydia shares. “But one thing I would love for everybody to see is how much we love each other, how playful we are. You just saw a tiny bit of it. We play and prank each other, try to tickle each other or try to spank each other; it’s just fun.”
A Tale of Unbroken Bonds: Lydia’s Relationship with Aaliyah Cosby

In conclusion, Lydia and Milton’s love story stands as a testament to the endurance of love, even when confronted with geographical distance and life’s many challenges.
