Love Is Blind season 9 star Madison Maidenberg is ringing in 2026 with a new man by her side.
“2026, a new year and a new love. Hard launch🥂,” Madison, 28, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, January 3, sharing snaps from the couple’s New Year’s Eve celebration in Breckenridge, Colorado.
Madison also added the hashtag “Boyfriend Reveal” to her post but didn’t identify her new man further.
Taking to TikTok later on Saturday, the Netflix reality star offered fans another update about her whirlwind romance.

“I think that I started dating my husband,” Madison gushed in a social media video. “I’m so excited to announce that I have a boyfriend. … He has such a heart of gold, he so fiercely pursues me, he’s so sure of me [and] he’s such a kind, good person.”
She continued, “He has the most beautiful heart that I have ever seen. I’m going to be shocked if I don’t end up marrying this man, mark my words.”
According to Madison, she believes her new beau is “the man of [her] dreams.”
“This is my person,” she gushed. “I am seriously in awe of the man that he is. He brings out this part of me that feels most like myself. There’s nothing about him that I would want to change, and he makes me feel so accepted for who I am in its entirety. … He’s just incredible.”
Madison previously got engaged to Joe Ferrucci sight unseen on Love Is Blind season 9, which aired on Netflix late last year. Joe, 29, ultimately called off their pair’s engagement days before their would-be wedding day.
“It seemed Madison was all in and what you would want in a person. I, on the other hand, had some concerns, nervous, scared, anxious. I never saw that coming from Madison,” Joe exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2025. “I think it scared me seeing that as well, and I know she wanted to keep on with the experiment, go through, get as much as you can out of it, in the way of, ‘Is this my person?’ More time for discovering that. I think there was a certain breaking point for me where I couldn’t go on any longer.”
Joe’s “breaking point” infamously occurred while he was shopping for his wedding tux, leading him to run out of the appointment with Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” playing in the background.

“I definitely crashed out. At that certain point, [I’m thinking], ‘Why am I going through these motions if I have in my head that, ultimately, I’m not going to be able to say yes on that wedding day?’” Joe recalled to Us. “It felt a little faulty on my part, and I could have handled it better. That’s the story of my experiment on TV. It just felt disingenuous on my part to even be there, if I didn’t think we had enough time to get there or if I knew this wasn’t my person.”
Within weeks of Joe and Madison’s split, he briefly hooked up with costar Kacie McIntosh before meeting and settling down with now-girlfriend Averee Madison.
