“I Was a Single Mom to His Daydreams”: Love Is Blind’s Amy Cortés Breaks Down as Johnny McIntyre Refuses to Stop Chasing Travel Dreams and Commit to Starting a Family

In a tearful, heart-wrenching confession, Love Is Blind’s Amy Cortés is finally speaking out about the emotional toll of loving a man who’s everywhere but home.

Just weeks after fans noticed a growing distance between Amy and fiancé Johnny McIntyre, the truth is out — and it’s more painful than anyone expected.

“I felt like I was a single mom to a child we didn’t even have yet,” Amy revealed through sobs. “He was planning trips, chasing dreams, living in the clouds — and I was left alone on the ground, begging him to come back to earth.”

“He Wants to See the World — I Just Want to Build One”

While Amy has been open about her longing to become a mother, Johnny's priorities seem locked in permanent wanderlust mode. Multiple sources say Johnny has continued to plan solo travel experiences, even as the couple discussed freezing embryos and prepping for IVF.

“I’m not saying his dreams don’t matter,” Amy explained. “But when do mine start to matter too? I want to be a mom. I want to build a home. I want someone who chooses us — not the next passport stamp.”

 

The tension has been building for months, with insiders close to the couple admitting Amy often feels “like she’s waiting for Johnny to outgrow this phase.” But what if it’s not a phase at all?

A Love Built on Different Timelines

Amy confessed that she always knew Johnny had a free spirit — it’s part of what drew her to him in the first place. But now, that spirit feels more like a wall between them.

“It’s like I have to prove I’m not holding him back just to ask him to show up,” she said. “I didn’t sign up to be the anchor to his sailboat. I wanted to be his partner.”

Friends say Amy has started therapy on her own, trying to process whether she's still fighting for a future — or just fighting against being left behind.

“He Keeps Saying ‘Someday’ — But I’m Running Out of Time”

While Johnny insists he wants kids “eventually,” Amy isn’t convinced. Her dream isn’t just of a child — it’s of stability, shared responsibility, and the kind of love that plants roots, not plane tickets.

“I don’t need him to give up his freedom,” Amy said. “I just need him to choose something real. Something that doesn’t fit in a carry-on.”

As for what comes next? Amy doesn’t have the answers yet — only the aching certainty that love isn’t enough when one person’s always halfway out the door.
