In the pods, Izzy disclosed that he was engaged prior to Love is Blind. He admitted to Johnie, 32, that his relationship with his ex “really f***ed me up.” Izzy also revealed that the relationship made him “so insecure.” He’d been single for two years prior to Love is Blind.

Izzy Was Rocked by a Family Secret.
During a conversation with Johnie, Izzy opened up about the moment he found out his dad wasn’t his biological father. His cousin nonchalantly told him when he was just a kid. “I remember just bawling my eyes out. And I felt so lost,” Izzy said.
