Love is blindBut Netflix subscribers aren’t so certain that this is true for every couple who joins the streaming service’s reality dating program. Shaina Hurley engaged Kyle Abrams during season 2, but there were some bumps along their love story. Here’s everything we know about “Shyle.”
Who are they?
Shaina, a 32-year old hairstylist, and Kyle, a 29 year-old construction worker, are both based in Chicago. Though they both have public Instagram accounts—@shaina.hurley and @kyleabrams10—Shaina’s professional account @shaina.alane.artistry is what she uses to show off her work on clients, including actor Zooey Deschanel.

What happened during the show?
Of the six couples we saw got engaged on the show—there was at least one more engagement kept off-screen—Shaina and Kyle seemed to have the most working against them. They discussed that Shaina is a Christian and Kyle is an atheist, as they discussed during the season.
“Shaina has extreme views on religion, and I have extreme views on religion,” Kyle said in a confessional. “I could definitely fall in love with Shaina, but we’re such polar opposites and I don’t think either of us is going to change each other. And it scares me.”
Kyle wasn’t alone in his concern. “Do I want to have the conversation with Kyle about our differences? Yes. No,” Shaina said at one point. “It’s one of those things where it’s like, you’re preparing for the worst, hoping for the best, but you don’t want to know the answer, but you know the answer.”
When Shaina decided not to share a bedroom with him, it was at retreat that things got a bit complicated. “I need better communication from Shaina. She’s a horrible communicator,” Kyle said after Shaina left. “I’m going to have to adjust a lot in order for us to move forward with our relationship. Eventually, I’ll get more confident physically around her. I’ll grow on her a little. Shaina will fall madly in love at the end with me. Ready to get married.”
