“Maybe I Just Needed Italy”: Love Is Blind’s Colleen Reed Finds Solace Abroad After Matt Bolton Divorce

Love Is Blind alum Colleen Reed is presumably saying arrivederci to any divorce drama with now-ex Matt Bolton.

“Who needs therapy when I could just wake up in Italy?” Reed, 30, wrote via TikTok on Tuesday, May 27, sharing footage of herself drinking an espresso outside the Duomo in Florence, Italy. She set the upload to a sound called “Good Morning Bad**.”

“Buon-f***ing-giorno,” a voiceover said. “Time to rise and shine and kick this day right in the culo, slam that strong-a** caffé  … and get ready to destroy [the day].”

While Reed didn’t further address the meaning of her social media post, her fellow Love Is Blind pals loved seeing her confidence shine through the footage.

“She’s thrivingggggg 💅 💅 💅,” Alexa Lemieux wrote via TikTok comment, while Raven Ross added, “Period.”

Reed had traveled to Tuscany for a friend’s wedding, sharing her outfit in a subsequent TikTok video.

“Call me a Tuscan Cinderella in this dress,” she wrote, using hashtags for “Wedding Guest,” “Wedding Dress” and “Tuscany.”

Less than one week earlier, Reed and Bolton, 30, confirmed that they had separated after four years of marriage.

“We’ve been separated for some time now and have [done] our best to work through everything privately and with care,” the now-exes wrote in a joint Instagram statement on Friday, May 23. “This was an incredibly difficult decision, not one we made lightly. It came with a lot of thought and it’s been an emotional process for both of us.”

They added, “We met in the most unique and unexpected way, and we’ll always be grateful for the love and memories we’ve shared,” the statement read. “There’s not one thing we would change and we continue to have deep respect and care for one another. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. We kindly ask for compassion as we navigate this transition.”

Reed and Bolton got engaged sight unseen on season 3 of Love Is Blind, where they were one of two couples to get married in the finale. (Now, Alexa and Brennon Lemieux are the sole season 3 success story.)

Weeks before announcing their breakup, Colleen exclusively told Us Weekly that she and Matt faced “so many challenges” since saying “I do.”

“Of course, staying together, but also, I would say with all the audience and all the eyeballs is definitely the hardest to go through and all of the opinions and everything,” Colleen said at Us + Maidenform’s Reality Star Style Awards party in April. “I would say that was 100 percent the biggest challenge. But then, you have your own everyday challenges that you go through in a relationship and a marriage. With everything, it’s definitely a pressure cooker, so you just have to be strong with yourself and with your relationship.”

At the time, Colleen also hinted that she and Matt didn’t have concrete goals in mind for their next steps.

“I feel like wherever the wind takes us at the moment. Nothing is really holding us down,” the ballet dancer said. “So, just kind of exploring our own careers, and we love Dallas. … We’re still really young. I mean, I turned 30 this year. So, still very young and going where the wind takes us.”
