Eight years, one baby and plenty of memories later, Amber and Matt Barnett are still each other’s favorite person.
The Love Is Blind season 1 couple marked their eighth wedding anniversary with a heartfelt social media tribute, where Amber reflected on their life together, their daughter and the husband who has been by her side through the less glamorous moments of marriage, too.
“8 years, millions of memories, and one perfect baby later and still obsessed with this man,” she wrote in the caption.
This year’s celebration wasn’t exactly the romantic occasion they may have planned. Amber revealed that the family was battling illnesses, with her and their daughter both feeling under the weather. Despite dealing with a high fever, congestion and a persistent cough, she found plenty to be grateful for.
“Having a husband that brings me medicine when I’m too delirious to keep track, keeps my water refilled, rubs my aching back and neck, and takes care of our baby who is also sick just solidifies how thankful I am that I found my perfect person to go through life with,” she wrote.
Amber ended her message with a loving nod to the years ahead, writing, “Getting old with @barnettisblind is the best choice I’ve ever made. Happy Anniversary my Love — 8 days, 8 years, 8 lifetimes, it’ll always be you 😘🥰.”
The couple’s story began in 2018, when they met in the pods on the first season of Netflix’s Love Is Blind. After getting engaged without seeing each other, they made it down the aisle and said “I do” during the season finale.

Their relationship has since grown beyond the experiment, with the two taking on another major milestone together: parenthood.
Amber and Matt welcomed their first child, a daughter they affectionately call “Baby B,” on April 6, 2025. Sharing the news on Instagram, Amber called her little girl “more perfect than anything I could’ve dreamed” and admitted she still couldn’t believe “the hospital let us take her home and that she is actually ours.”

Matt marked the occasion in his own way, sharing a photo of himself cradling his newborn daughter’s tiny feet and writing, “Promoted from daddy to dad #girldad.”
The couple had announced they were expecting during an October 2024 appearance on The Love Seat podcast, hosted by fellow Love Is Blind stars Lauren and Cameron. Amber joked about the surprise timing of the pregnancy, telling the hosts, “Over summer break, he just went and knocked me up.”
All 11 seasons of Love Is Blind are streaming on Netflix.
