When Dave said he had mutual friends with two of Lauren's exes, she said they were never official boyfriends. However, Dave struggled with the fact that his fiancé was talking with another man shortly before appearing on "Love Is Blind," especially since he hadn't had a girlfriend in four years.

"You see him question my dad and it's his friends and it's his sister, and it's all of these things," Lauren O'Brien tells PEOPLE of ex Dave Bettenburg's reasons for ending their engagement

If you’re still wondering who the star of Love Is Blind Season 8 is, then look no further because it is David (Dave) Bettenburg’s sister.

Dave proposed to Lauren in the Love Is Blind pods during season 8, which was filmed in spring 2024 and started airing on Netflix earlier this month. They first met in person after Lauren accepted Dave’s pod proposal before jetting off on the cast’s trip to Honduras.

For all we know, Dave's sister didn't want him on the show because she knew he'd expose his own poor behavior. After all, he's the one who admitted to being “an ass” to women and struggling with “integrity” in the pods. Of course, we don't know because she's not the one who signed up to be on a reality show.

Love Is Blind is back for season eight and Dave, the 33-year-old who works in the aesthetics industry, is standing out for all the wrong reasons. He shocked everyone in episode one after revealing his job means he’s around women with plastic surgery all day and it’s made him really “shallow”.

I t’s probably for the best that Dave Bettenburg and Lauren O’Brien realized they weren’t a good match before they got to their wedding fittings in Love Is Blind season eigh
