Are Victor St. John and Christine Hamilton from 'Love Is Blind' Still Together Now?
"Love Is Blind" is known for creating long-lasting romantic connections and serving up plenty of drama. But one Season 10 couple has proven that the latter doesn't necessarily have to be a part of the dating experiment.
Throughout Season 10, Victor "Vic" St. John and Christine Hamilton have shown viewers that it's possible to navigate the highs and lows of the "Love Is Blind" journey with grace and respect for each other.
What made the couple fall for each other and did they end up getting married? We're recapping their love story below.
What Happened Between Vic and Christine in the Pods?
Vic, a 34-year-old professor, and Christine, a 31-year-old speech-language pathologist, had instant chemistry when they first appeared in the dating pods.
The duo connected on their religious faith and shared experiences with distant or abusive fathers and stepfathers.
In a confessional, Vic expressed his gratitude for their budding relationship.

"I feel blessed that I found Christine in this experience. I'm in awe and I'm excited and I'm in love," he said.
By the end of Episode 1, the couple was engaged. Before meeting her new fiancé, Christine reflected on her bond with Vic in a confessional interview.
"When two people love each other, you can't stop it. I know him and I know his heart. And I really fully believe that he sees that in me too. And it's the best feeling you've ever felt in your life times a million," she said.
Meanwhile, Vic was excited to meet Christine in person after solely focusing on their emotional connection.
"For her to see my most vulnerable sides and some of my most vulnerable stories, and for her to still accept me for who I am and want to love me and want to have a forever future with me, there's no words for it," he said.
Why Didn't Christine and Vic Go to Mexico With the Other Engaged Couples?
Christine and Vic were one of seven couples who got engaged in the "Love Is Blind" Season 10 dating pods. However, only six couples vacationed in Mexico together after meeting in person for the first time.
Instead of joining their castmates, Christine and Vic traveled to Malibu on their own, without a camera crew. They filmed highlights of their trip and reunited with the camera crew when they returned to Ohio.
In a statement to TODAY.com , "Love Is Blind" executive producer Chris Coelen explained why the couple went on a solo vacation.

"We've never had the resources to send more than six couples to Mexico, but this season, we felt so good about the couples that for the very first time we chose to follow seven of them, producing the biggest season in 'Love Is Blind' history! In order to make this work, we had to offer one couple the chance to go to Malibu on their own getaway," Coelen said.
Since Vic and Christine didn't have any unfinished business with other cast members they dated in the pods, producers decided that they should go on a trip by themselves.
"While the romantic getaways are a chance to not only see if the couples can turn their emotional connection into a physical one, they are also a chance to address outstanding feelings and issues with others they may have dated in the pods," the statement continued.
What Happened When Vic and Christine Moved in Together?
Vic and Christine's smooth journey continued when they moved in together and began meeting each other's families.
Vic won the seal of approval from Christine's mother, who offered the following reaction after meeting him: "Vic is very gentle. I like that about him. He seems very self-assured, confident. And I thought he was hot. Can I say that?"
As they got closer to decision day, Vic and Christine discussed their timeline for starting a family and agreed that they wanted to wait two years before looking into purchasing a home and having children.

Shortly before decision day, Vic and Christine had a romantic spa date and expressed their excitement for their future.
"I've been praying for you for a lot longer than I've known you," Christine said.
Vic agreed and said, "I don't think I've ever felt as confident about anything in my life, especially something so serious as this."
While reflecting on the time they'd spent together so far, Vic said he sometimes gets "speechless" around his fiancée.
"I know you'll make an excellent partner," he said.
Christine said she was excited to call Vic her husband and the father of her children.
"I think we're gonna complement each other and push each other. You push me to be better," she said.
On their wedding day, the bride and groom exchanged their vows and reminisced on their whirlwind romance. They both said "I do" and celebrated their new adventure as husband and wife with their family and friends.
In a confessional interview after the ceremony, Vic called the wedding the "best day of my life times 10."
Christine also reflected on her new title: wife.
"Being married feels just like it should. It feels perfect," she said.
