The up-and-down couple from Love is Blind season 3 have had people asking are Colleen and Matt still together?
All new Love is Blind: After the Altar episodes are dropping on Netflix this Friday, and fans are excited to learn what's become of their favourite season 3 couples and how their marriages have fared in the real world post-experiment. Alongside those wondering if favourites Alexa and Brennon still together and Raven and SK are together now too are interest in Colleen and Matt - who it's fair to say much like Cole and Zanab and Bartise and Nancy - went through a few challenges on their journey together.
There was a row post-pool party and Matt again looked to be giving up on another night out with their fellow Love is Blind season 3 cast members. But as they say, the road to true love never did run smooth, so did these two make it or break up? We've done the research and revealed whether they're still together and where Colleen and Matt are up to now.
Are Colleen and Matt still together?
Yes, Colleen and Matt are still together in 2023. The couple said I do to each other on their wedding days on the show and confirmed in the follow-up reunion that they were still happily married.
A quick scan of their Instagram accounts show many loved-up snaps of Colleen and Matt together. Most recently on January 23, Matt shared some photos of the pair out drinking and celebrating a recent win for American football team the Philadelphia Eagles. "Her weekend was clearly better than mine," read the caption, referring to Colleen's team win (Matt is a Dallas Coyboys fan).
Colleen and Matt enjoyed a holiday to Tulum, Mexico together in November 2022 and Christmas 2022 also saw them see in the festive period together with their families.
One question we're hoping to get clarity on in the After the Altar episodes is Matt and Colleen's living status. In the reunion episode - which dropped in Novmber 2022 - the two confirmed that whilst they were together they didn't currently live together, but had plans to soon.
"We actually do not live together yet. I know it sounds crazy but it's really just doing it on our own time," Matt told Nick and Vanessa.
Colleen explained: "We're very much on the same page. Logistics-wise and money-wise we weren't there. As soon as the wedding, the next day, we weren't money-wise ready to give up on our leases. Like we weren't there yet.
"We got married in a unorthodox way, so we're doing marriage in an unorthodox way," she added, going on to explain that a possible problem was that housemates were involved and they didn't want to screw people over.
Whilst currently not co-habiting, Matt assured that "we stay together seven days a week". And it's certainly a priority for the two going forward.
"We have a plan in a couple months. We made sure our leases line up the same amount of time and we are going to move in together," Colleen said. "I can't wait to move in with him. I can't and I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with him. So i'm content. We are content. We're on the same page with how we're doing things".
There was no doubt the feelings Colleen and Matt had for each other on their wedding day.
"You are my person, 1000% per cent and I will be there for you no matter what. I will be your rock, I’ll be your boulder," said Colleen at the altar. To which Matt joked: “It’s a nice boulder”.
She continued: “Matty, I do. No matter what I will be there for you. I love you so much.”
Matt also chose to say I do to Colleen, sharing how her love had helped him. "You know you allowed me to break out of my shell. You allowed me to become vulnerable again. I was in a bad way before all this, from a relationship standpoint. And the comfort level that you gave me, and the natural.. And just allowing me to become vulnerable again, it speaks volumes. I love you to death. Absolutely, I do, I want to marry you. Absolutely!"
The congregation erupted into a round of applause following the exchange of vows, with both Colleen and Matt's mums looking emotional.
Catching up with the two later on their wedding day, the two seemed ecstatic. “I knew you were mine when I proposed to you," Matt gushed to his wife. Whilst Colleen excitedly shouted at the camera: "Love is blind, baby. Love is blind."
What have Colleen and Matt said since?
Following the reunion episode being aired, there was some concern online that Colleen looked unhappy and upset during the filming.
On Twitter, Bailey Sarian tweeted: "I am watching Love is Blind reunion….. is Colleen ok? This Matt guy is low key psycho and Colleen seems like she’s on the verge of tears the whole reunion. Idk how I got sucked into this show but BLINK TWOCE IF U NEED HELP COLLEEN". The tweet was liked over 5,000 times.

Colleen set the record straight in an interview with Us Weekly, stating how hard it is to deal with commentary about her relationship online. “What’s frustrating with what people do say about our relationship is that these really harsh assumptions, that’s really tricky to talk about," she said. "And it’s just completely wrong. It’s completely not true. And it’s really sad what people are saying.
"We’re just surrounding ourselves around our family and our friends who have been nothing but supportive. Not once has someone said in our lives, in our everyday lives like, ‘Oh, should we be worried or listening to these comments?'," she added.
In an interview with PEOPLE, Matt similarly assured that the two were "as good as we've ever been". Nevertheless, the two learnt "a lot" during their journey.
"Getting out of the show and the whole atmosphere, you learn a lot about each other. It kind of started off rough right when we got out of it... in the sense of knowing that you just got married. So now you've got to take your schedule and incorporate her scheduling. You've got to blend them together.
He continues: "And if you have certain things you like to do on the weekends, sometimes you can't do them anymore. So just learning how to kind of mesh like that was tough at the very beginning... it's just learning how to incorporate each other into your daily lives."
In the same PEOPLE interview, Colleen reflected on her journey throughout the show and whether she held any regrets.
"Everything happens for a reason and me and Matt found each other, so I don't wish that I did anything differently with Matt," she says. "We were very transparent with each other and I'm proud of us for being so open and honest.
"The only thing would be definitely shutting down that conversation with Cole in the pool because I love [Zanab] so much," Colleen adds. "So yeah, I wish I would do that conversation differently."
Indeed the Colleen and Cole pool drama came up during the reunion episode. Matt gave his view on the incident and praised his wife for being truthful with him.
"Being in this situation, yes it was an incredibly disrespectful comment, conversation to both of our relationships," he said. "That being said I do have to commend Colleen for coming to me that night and immediately saying ‘This is what happened, this is what I said’.
"You know I did kind of lose my cool a little bit. And after watching the scene you know, she told me everything," he added. "There wasn’t anything that surprised me after watching it, that she didn’t already tell me."
Where are Colleen and Matt now?
In 2023, Colleen and Matt are still living in Dallas, Texas - albeit separately. Despite living apart, the two have been spotted hanging out and doing everyday couple things together like shopping at Target.
It was TikTok user @Broopitt who shared a spoiler ahead of the wedding and reunion episode which confirmed that Colleen and Matt were still together. The video showed the two coming out of a Target in Dallas together carrying shopping.
