Marissa George, known for her appearances on Netflix’s reality shows *Love Is Blind* and *Perfect Match*, has recently tied the knot with D. Johnson, a significant figure from her past. The couple eloped in March, just months after filming for the fourth season of *Perfect Match* concluded.

The pair have a history dating back to 2013, but their romantic journey took a winding path before they ultimately found their way back to each other. Initially, they connected as young adults but soon parted ways due to the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship. George, now 34, recalls that while they fell in love quickly, the distance proved too much to handle at the time.
Their story took a significant turn in November 2025 when George and Johnson reestablished their connection. “Over the last 13 years, we somehow always found our way back to each other,” George commented. She noted that even their mutual friends believed that if the stars aligned, their relationship had the potential to blossom once again.
After rekindling their romance, the couple got engaged just three months later, on February 21, 2026. One month following their engagement, they held a small elopement ceremony in Savannah, Georgia, attended only by close family and friends. Reflecting on her wedding day, George expressed a sense of clarity and seriousness about their partnership that she had not experienced in previous relationships. “It’s not that I didn’t take past relationships seriously,” she explained, “but I honestly don’t think I fully understood what a healthy love was supposed to feel like until now.”
George wore a beautiful gown by designer Jenny Yoo for their intimate ceremony, which signified a major milestone in their relationship. The couple is planning a larger celebration for next year and have set their sights on relocating to Japan as they embrace this new phase of their lives.
What sets this relationship apart for George is the sense of safety it provides. She remarked, “I’ve never had someone love me in a way that also made me feel so free to fully be myself.” Johnson’s unwavering support has helped George heal parts of herself that she hadn’t even realised needed attention. Their bond allows her to continue evolving without fear of judgement, a quality that George cherishes deeply.
Prior to meeting Johnson, George’s journey through reality television held its share of challenges. On season seven of *Love Is Blind*, she experienced heartbreak just days before a planned wedding when her ex-fiancé, Ramses Prashad, called off their engagement. Despite this painful chapter in her life, George reflects on her experiences with gratitude.
“I cherish what [my husband and I] have so deeply,” she stated, adding that her tumultuous experiences in the dating scene contributed to her growth as an individual. This positive evolution has enabled her to watch her own journey on screen without regret, as she recognises the lessons learned through both triumphs and mistakes.
George describes their relationship as beautiful and authentic, contrasting it with the more public nature of her prior romantic entanglements. With Johnson by her side, she feels blessed to have found such a secure and supportive bond after years of searching. “He’s truly my best friend and I genuinely feel so lucky that after all this time, timing finally chose us too,” she concluded.
As this new chapter unfolds for Marissa George and D. Johnson, their journey from former flames to married couple serves as an inspiring reminder that sometimes love waits for the right moment to flourish.
