Exciting news has emerged from the world of reality television as Amber Barnett and her husband Matt Barnett have welcomed their first child together! The couple, known for their appearances on the hit Netflix series Love Is Blind, announced the arrival of their baby girl on Instagram this past Sunday. Amber shared a heartfelt post from the hospital, expressing her joy: “Baby Barnett has arrived and is more perfect than anything I could’ve dreamed. If you hadn’t guessed yet, Baby B is a She and I literally still can’t believe the hospital let us take her home and that she is actually ours.”
In her emotional announcement, Amber continued, “It may be the hormones but @barnettisblind and our baby girl have my heart so full I can hardly function, I hope this feeling never goes away 🩷.” The couple’s happiness was further echoed by Matt, who shared his own post, proudly declaring, “Promoted from daddy to dad girldad.”
The couple has been open about their journey to parenthood. Amber revealed during an episode of the Love Seat podcast in October 2024 that Matt “just went and knocked her up … over summer break.” The couple's journey took an unexpected turn when Amber discovered she had been pregnant while bartending at a party for her former co-star Cameron Hamilton in July. “I was bartending at that party, and I know we were all getting turnt,” she shared. “So, little baby B might come out ready to throw down with us.”
Amber celebrated her pregnancy by documenting her baby bump, often sharing updates with her followers on Instagram. She previously posted a montage of their love story, captioning it, “Where it started, Where we’ve been, Where we’re at,” showcasing the couple's journey from reality TV stars to new parents.
Amber and Matt's romance blossomed in 2018 while filming the first season of Love Is Blind. After falling in love, they tied the knot in November of that year, although their wedding did not air until the show premiered in 2020. Prior to announcing her pregnancy, Amber reassured fans of their relationship status, stating, “Yes, @barnettisblind and I are still married,” in a September Instagram post.
Amber and Matt are not the only Love Is Blind couple to welcome a baby. Fellow cast member Bliss Poureetezadi and her partner Zack Goytowski celebrated the birth of their daughter, Galileo, in May 2024, followed by another couple, Alexa and Brennon Lemieux, who welcomed their daughter, Vienna, just three months later. The reality show has not only brought couples together but has also created a growing community of families, including those who did not marry, such as Amber and Matt's castmates Jessica Batten and Mark Cuevas.
As Amber and Matt embark on this new chapter of their lives, fans of Love Is Blind eagerly await more updates from the couple and their adorable baby girl, Baby Barnett.
