‘Love Is Blind’ Star Claims Jailed Ex Still Reaches Out—But How Is He Getting To Her?
Ever notice how reality TV promises fairy tale endings and instead just hands us front-row tickets to disasters we’d never pay to see in real life? Well, here we go again—except this time, the “Love Is Blind” experiment didn’t just unravel at the altar. It spiraled into a true crime story more jarring than any plot twist the producers could’ve dreamed up . Imagine meeting your soulmate without ever seeing their face, and then finding yourself living a nightmare you never signed up for—all on public display .
Emily Ceco and Santiago Martínez waltzed from TV romance to real-life headline horror. One moment, they’re making wedding plans for the whole world to watch, and the next—poof!—he’s in jail for attempted murder, gender-based violence, and enough drama to make any reality show look like Sesame Street . What’s even more chilling? The “God’s timing is perfect” mindset didn’t end with his sentence. Nope. According to Emily, strange digital “hellos” have been slipping through from behind bars—because who needs personal boundaries when you have a smartphone and a grudge? Seriously, how do you find the line between romantic persistence and sheer obsession when the cameras stop rolling?
Point is, behind those binge-worthy, rose-tinted screens, there are unpredictable lives unspooling—sometimes with tragic, terrifying consequences . And if even the justice system can’t keep “happily ever after” from turning into “please leave me alone forever,” what hope do the rest of us have?

A woman whose partner she met on hit show Love Is Blind was jailed for attempted murder has attempted to contact her from behind bars, it has been claimed.
Emily Ceco and Santiago Martínez met on the show and tied the knot and had initially planned to re-marry off screen in February 2025.
However Martínez was ultimately jailed for 15 years in March this year after Emily reported him over reports of gender-based violence.
He was later found guilty of attempted murder, assault and unlawful detention linked to their relationship.
The pair met on the show (Social media)
Martínez and Ceco had first met during the 2024 season of Love Is Blind: Argentina, in which contestants date through a wall before deciding whether to marry without having laid eyes on one another.
But the following year, she filed a formal complaint which detailed verbal and physical abuse. She had sustained injuries that included a black eye.
The social media star went on to describe the emotions she felt in facing Martínez during the trial at court.
As per Reality Shrine, she said, “I was terrified. During his statement, he apologised and said he still loved me.
“I don’t know what will happen when he gets out, but I hope the justice system continues to protect me,”
Speaking out on a podcast six months after his sentencing, Emily claimed she believes he has tried to contact her from behind bars.
Appearing on the HISPA podcast on YouTube, she referenced an Instagram account that has followed her, which she believes belongs to her ex-partner.
“Not even the justice system can stop him. Why do you feel the need to keep abusing me?” she said.
“It happened a few days ago… when he was little they called him Nano.
“He’s a River Plate fan, and he always had a phrase that I think he said twice a day, all day he’d say ‘God’s timing is perfect’.
“And recently an account called Nano followed me with numbers that he had stolen from River Plate, and said, ‘God’s timing is perfect’. It had no followers, nothing. It was a new profile.

“So I say, ‘Why do you still have the need to know?’ I mean, he wanted to be certain that I would know it was him behind it.
“What’s still bothering you about me? Why don’t you want to find peace? Why don’t you want to move on with your life? Why do you keep wanting to hurt me?”
Speaking of his possible future release from jail, Emily continued: “I’m terrified because even though it’s still relatively recent, I do want to move on with my life.
“I would love to start a family, I would love to be a mum. I would love to achieve what I fought for, because I fought to stay alive.”
