Love Is Blind’s Lauren and Cameron just announced their pregnancy in the most reality TV way.

Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton were fan favourites in the very first season of Love Is Blind, the Netflix dating show that made the wild promise: fall in love and get engaged ... without ever seeing each other.

Against all odds — and the cameras — Lauren and Cameron made it work.

They said "I do" back in 2018, and now, they're getting ready to say hello to baby number one.

The official trailer for Love Is Blind Season 1. Post continues after video.


After four years of trying and a whole lot of love, the Love Is Blind golden couple announced they are expecting their first child with a dramatic movie-trailer-style announcement.

Because how else would you announce you're pregnant if not with a cinematic trailer called... Operation Baby?

The video kicks off with a montage of their time on the show.

"Two strangers took a leap of faith. They built a home, a life, a legacy. But one question remains," a deep-voiced narrator begins.

Then Cameron turns to Lauren: "Should we just tell them?"

"Nah, let's draw it out," Lauren replies, with a smirk and a side-eye. "It's good for engagement."

Next comes the moment fans were waiting for: the couple open a "top secret confidential" folder labelled Operation Baby and immediately their faces are illuminated (literally, they glow).

"They waited, they prayed, they poked themselves, repeatedly," the narrator continues.

"After years of hope, love finds a new form. This fall, a new chapter begins. Baby Hamilton, coming fall 2025."

"So… do babies come with instructions?" Cameron asks.

Lauren doesn't miss a beat.

"Nah, that's Google and prayers and ChatGPT," she says.

In a touching moment, a photo of Lauren's late father, who passed away at Christmas, is seen on the mantle watching over them.

The announcement comes after four years of trying to conceive.

The couple opening up to People about the moment they finally got a positive pregnancy test.

"We've taken a few pregnancy tests and when you use the ones with the lines, it could be anxiety-driven because it's like, 'Is that what I think?' Lauren said. "So seeing the word pregnant, it was amazing."

"We just looked at each other. I fell to my knees and cried."

The couple have been open about their IVF journey and fertility struggles, speaking candidly on their podcast The Love Seat late last year.

Lauren said the news had brought joy at a time their family really needed it.

"It was a little bittersweet because my dad's not here physically to be with us, but we know that he's watching over us," she told People.

"So it was just like, 'Wow, I can't believe this.' We just felt so blessed, so grateful and happy, excited. Then it hit like, 'We're going to be parents. Oh my God.'"

Lauren and Cameron were the standout success story of Love Is Blind Season 1, which dropped in 2020. From the moment they met in the pods, the chemistry was real.

They bonded over their shared values and love of family, and when they finally saw each other face-to-face, the chemistry was undeniable.

Despite facing real-world challenges, Lauren and Cameron stuck together. They tied the knot in November 2018, during filming, and were one of just two couples from their season to actually say "I do" at the altar.

Since the show, they've launched a YouTube channel, a book, a podcast, and a genuinely healthy-looking marriage.

They've been each other's biggest cheerleaders from day one — and now, they're about to be someone else's, too.

Baby Hamilton, we already love you.
