What you need to know
Love Is Blind Season 3 couple Colleen Reid and Matt Bolton’s “I dos” at the altar were either heads or tails.
During an appearance on the January 21st episode of “What the Reality?” On the podcast, Reid revealed that he and Bolton flipped a coin the night before their wedding to decide whether they should get married during the show’s finale.
She recalled that the two had dinner at a restaurant with both families that night and started flipping coins. “We say, ‘Okay, heads are yes, tails are no,'” she explained.
“We just flipped a coin and kept flipping coins, and I said, ‘Two out of three times,'” she continued. “I really didn’t know what to do, and he didn’t know what to do.”
Reed said that on the morning of the wedding, Bolton told her, “I’ll see you at the altar,” and she said, “I’ll see you at the altar.” When the big moment finally arrived during the ceremony, Bolton said, “Yes.”
“So I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, let’s do it,'” Reed recalled of her reaction.

The two got married, but announced their separation about four years later in May 2025. In a joint statement they shared on Instagram on May 23, they wrote, “We wanted to share something personal, and it wasn’t easy, but after nearly four years together, we have decided to end our marriage and go our separate ways.”
“We have been living apart for some time and have done our best to resolve everything privately and discreetly,” they continued.

The couple went on to say that the decision to part ways was “incredibly difficult” and not something they “made lightly.”
“This has been an emotional process for both of us, with much thought involved,” they wrote. “We met in the most unique and unexpected way, and we will always be grateful for the love and memories we shared. There is nothing we would change. We will always have deep respect and care for each other.”

Reid opened up about his breakup with Bolton during a podcast conversation, describing it as a “roller coaster journey.” She revealed that the two had been living apart since November 2024, but agreed to announce their breakup a few months later if they no longer lived together.
“I knew I was making the right decision, and I knew he was making the right decision,” Reid said of the breakup.
Still, she admitted that saying goodbye to each other when the time came was “the hardest thing ever” for them both.
“And that breakup can be almost as bad as if cheating occurred or tensions escalated,” she noted. “It’s very difficult for two people to come together and say, ‘This isn’t going to work. We can’t be together.'”
Reid said she and Bolton had “tried everything” to make their marriage work, but ultimately decided their priorities weren’t aligned. “(We) had a lot of issues in terms of what we wanted in life and what we valued in life,” she explained.
“I just want complete and complete happiness, and Matt didn’t get that,” Reid added.
