It was supposed to be the next chapter in their fairytale — the natural step after love, marriage, and building a life together. But for Love Is Blind couple Amy Cortes and Johnny McIntyre, the journey to parenthood has turned into something far more painful: a silent heartbreak that just won’t end.
In a gut-wrenching confession that’s left fans reeling, Amy and Johnny are speaking openly for the first time about their battle with infertility — and the emotional toll of watching nearly everyone around them announce the very thing they’ve been praying for.
“We’re out of tears,” Johnny said quietly. “We’ve cried every month. Every test. Every ‘maybe next time.’ We’re just… numb now.”
“We Thought It Would Happen. We Believed It Would Happen.”
The couple says they began trying to conceive shortly after their first wedding anniversary, full of excitement and optimism. But month after month, the disappointment deepened — and the silence between them grew heavier.
“At first, it was, ‘We’re young, it’ll happen,’” Amy shared. “Then it was doctor visits. Vitamins. Tracking everything. And then it became fear.”
Fear that something was wrong. Fear that their future wouldn’t include a baby. And worst of all, fear that their love — so tested and built on faith — might not be enough to carry them through this storm.
“We still hold hands at every appointment,” Amy said through tears. “But sometimes, I feel like I’m holding on to a dream that’s slipping through our fingers.”
The Pain of Watching Everyone Else Move Forward
In the past few months, Amy says it feels like the universe is taunting them. Friends announcing pregnancies. Baby showers filling her Instagram feed. Love Is Blind castmates sharing ultrasound photos.
“I don’t want to be bitter. But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hurting,” she admitted. “It’s not jealousy — it’s grief. Every announcement feels like another reminder of what we don’t have.”
Johnny echoed the heartbreak:
“We smile, we say congratulations, we show up. But then we go home and fall apart.”
“What If This Is Our Story — and It Ends Without a Baby?”
Perhaps the most heartbreaking part of Amy and Johnny’s confession was their admission that they’re starting to question everything — including whether their dream will ever come true.
“I used to talk about baby names in the shower,” Amy whispered. “Now I don’t even let myself imagine it.”
“There’s only so many times you can build yourself back up before you stop believing,” Johnny added. “And I don’t know how many more we have left.”
Love in the Middle of the Grief
Still, even in the despair, one thing remains steady — their love for each other. Amy says they’ve clung to small moments: a shared cry, a long hug, a silent understanding in the middle of the night.
“He still brings me tea when I can’t get out of bed. I still hold his hand when he’s breaking but won’t say it out loud,” she said. “We may not be parents yet. But we are still partners. And that’s something I won’t let go of.”
Their story isn’t over — even if this chapter is the hardest one yet. And while they may be out of tears, Amy and Johnny still have one thing left: each other.
