Chris Fusco, a 33-year-old account executive from Columbus, Ohio, and fitness enthusiast, met physician Jessica Barrett, DO, on the 10th season of the Netflix reality show Love Is Blind. The couple got engaged without seeing each other. After meeting outside the show, Fusco stated that he lacks physical attraction because Barrett doesn't work out and mentioned that he usually dates women who do Pilates or CrossFit. Fusco takes on endurance challenges like marathons and Ironman races, clocking a 4:30 marathon time. His comments drew criticism online for body shaming from fans of the show and runners. Critics pointed to his track record and called him arrogant. Fusco told Entertainment Weekly that he has no regrets about being on the show, though he admitted mistakes, and he's not worried about the feedback. The couple later broke up.
