“I never had a problem with it where it was a concern for me,” she tells EW.

Warning: This article contains spoilers about the first nine episodes of Love Is Blind season 6.

Love Is Blind fans didn’t have to wait until the season 6 finale to find out the fate of one of the pod couples.

In episodes 7-9 (now streaming on Netflix), Brittany Mills and Kenneth Gorham realized that they weren’t ready to get married in less than a week, so they had a tear-filled, mature conversation and ended their relationship before they even got to try on potential wedding dresses and tuxes. “The crave, and the passion, and the intensity of our pod experience didn’t necessarily continue throughout the rest of our relationship,” Brittany tells EW. “Towards the end of it, it definitely started to drift away. Truly, from my perspective, the intimacy, and the craving, and the passion is what led us to take a turn in our relationship.”

While it seemed as if their relationship was destined to be one of the unproblematic success stories of the season, red flags began to show as soon as Brittany and Kenneth headed on their post-engagement vacation. Kenneth would become quiet, leading to awkward stretches of silence. When they arrived home to move in together for the month before the wedding, it only got worse, as Kenneth would focus on his cell phone and ignore Brittany while she was trying to talk with him. But Brittany says that while it looks like Kenneth was more obsessed with his phone than her, that’s not what actually happened.

“No, no, no, the phone situation had nothing to do with me and Kenneth’s relationship going in the opposite direction of a wedding,” she says with a laugh. “It had absolutely nothing to do with it. I noticed Kenneth being on his phone a few different times, and it comes down to the point of really putting into perspective about his career, and how that’s so important to him, and also it then becomes important to me because I’m his partner, and was his partner throughout this experience. I never had a problem with it where it was a concern for me. It was more so of, he needs his moment, because Kenneth takes pride in being an introvert.”

Brittany never had a problem with Kenneth needing to take a moment to be on his phone because she knew that was just his way of “winding down, reflecting, and just being where he needs to be in his own headspace.”

“To the world, it could be seen as he wasn’t very in the moment, but I never felt like, when speaking to him or if I needed to address anything with him, that he was looking at his phone and not paying attention, or that I was competing with his phone,” she adds. “In no way did I feel that way.”

As the one who initiated the breakup, Brittany explains she began to realize their relationship wasn’t going to work as soon as the end of the honeymoon trip. “The passion, the craving, it wasn’t necessarily there as intensely as it was in the pods,” she says. “I never wanted to be super reactive right off the bat, because I wanted it so badly. I started to notice it towards the end of the honeymoon trip, and then we came back to Charlotte, and then it just started to continue on in that manner. After a couple of days, I was then able to really come to terms with myself, and with him as well, thankfully in the most mature way possible, and be able to approach it and go about it in how we ended.”

She also says that everything happened on camera just as viewers saw it. “There [were] no previous conversations without cameras, and there was no plan of any sort,” she explains. “It honestly happened as organically as our pod experience happened. Nothing necessarily happened between Kenneth and I off camera that led to our break-up of any sort. What you get to see is definitely the real raw truth of both Kenneth and I, and I’m so very thankful for that. What you saw on camera, the distance between us, was very natural, and very organic.”

While her Love Is Blind romance didn’t lead to an actual wedding, Brittany still has no regrets about the entire experience. “It’s nothing to be sorry about, I promise,” she says. “That’s the beauty of it, is that you go with that mindset of, ‘This could really happen, or this could not happen.’ And for me, honestly, it really did happen. I connected with someone, sight unseen, and I was able to get engaged, and go through the process. While, yes, we didn’t make it to the wedding, it still worked out for us.”

She’s actually glad that they didn’t keep things going until the finale weddings. “There was no need to drag anything out, and then have a gut-wrenching experience standing in an aisle,” Brittany says. “A wedding ceremony is such a special, special moment. We need to make sure that if you get to that point, make sure that you are 100 percent confident. So while, yes, we didn’t make it to the wedding, it was still a beautiful experience, and I honestly would do it all over again.”
