Kerra met her fiancé, “G,” on a three-way FaceTime call and wasn’t initially attracted to him—his tattooed face made her nervous. But his voice and kindness sparked an instant connection. Soon after, G went to prison, and their relationship continued behind bars. Her family disapproves, especially after learning that G is already married—a secret Kerra has kept until now. Her sister fears she’ll get hurt again, but Kerra believes in their bond.
Sonali, 36, a comedian, has always waited for the right man—someone who will accept her choice to remain celibate until marriage. Her belief that sex is a sacred act has made dating difficult, as most men can’t accept her boundaries. Now, she’s meeting Carlos, hoping he’ll be different—and maybe even “the one.”
London Rose, 34, grew up under strict religious rules where makeup, beauty, and even swimming were forbidden. At 18, she left her fundamentalist upbringing and became an adult model—liberating herself, but also making dating nearly impossible. She tells potential partners about her job upfront, but fear of rejection has kept her from dating for years.
Does love need permission—or does freedom begin when you stop hiding who you are?

People judge me because I have a husband and a fiancé in prison
0:04
In November when he was in the county jail, he was flexing, making me laugh and stuff
0:08
And then after I had stopped recording, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him
0:18
My name is Kira. This is my partner, G, and he is in prison
0:22
I speak to G every day, like six, seven times a day. I get anxious anticipating his call
0:27
He's definitely my favorite person to speak to every day. He got six years, five of them, which he already served in the county jail
0:34
G will be released on September 4th of 2025. So I met G through a mutual friend
0:40
I was nervous. I was scared a little bit, honestly, because I'm not used to all those tattoos on his face
0:45
But his voice is very, very sweet. So me and G started off talking on FaceTime around 2023, and we just had an instant connection
0:54
G has spent thousands of dollars on my jewelry. My most special gift that he got me was this chain
1:00
I love it when G spoils me, but I also spoil him too. This is just a collection of what I've bought him
1:06
while he's been in the jail system. I've gotten him teeth, which is diamond cut, a money bag
1:12
and I just ordered G a new chain. He's calling. I miss all y'all so much, baby
1:18
I know. What are you most looking forward to? Coming home to you and the girls, just being free again
1:25
I'm just waking up with your breath in my face. With my breath in your face
1:32
Me too, me too. G is very romantic when he wants to be
1:36
I bailed him out for $20,000 cash, so he wanted to show his reciprocation of love for me
1:45
Oh, my gosh. I miss you so bad. So the proposal was kind of ghetto, I'm not going to lie
1:51
In November, when he was in the county jail, He was flexing, making me laugh and stuff
1:56
And then after I had stopped recording, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him
2:02
I said yes. I thought it was cute. I felt excited but nervous
2:07
because I was already married at the time, you know? So I seen how one marriage happened, and I get scared
2:14
I have a husband who's doing 25 to life in prison, and we are separated and no longer involved
2:19
I met G through my husband's ex-girlfriend. Me and my husband are in the process of a divorce
2:25
All right, baby girl, I'll talk to you later. I love you so much. I love you more. Give me a kiss
2:30
People tend to judge me and G's relationship based off his tattoos and our situation
2:36
I come with two little girls that are not biologically his. Today, I'm finally going to break the news to my mom and sister
2:43
that G is also married. Kira has definitely been with some interesting people
2:48
throughout her dating history. Yeah, that's about as nicely as I can put it
2:53
I'm worried she's going to get hurt. I'm just praying that it's not a game to him
2:57
What was your first impression of G? The first time I seen him, I was like, oh, hell no
3:05
Tattoos all over his body, face, just me mugging. But on the other hand, when I watch him interact with you, it's different
3:13
So, and at the end of the day, like I said, he's not for me, he's for you. He wasn't my type at first either, but mine and his, like, connection level was completely different
3:23
Like, we clicked. How do you feel as far as, like, me going from one situation to the other and them both having to do time
3:31
If it was me personally, I would rather see you with somebody who is able to be with you every day, not have you sitting here by yourself lonely
3:39
I know. Sometimes I wish that, too. I'm not going to lie. I know G will be home soon, you know, so I don't really trip about that anymore
3:45
as long as he stays here. I think he will. I think this time in jail has really showed him
3:50
this is not what he wants to do as far as, like, being away from the girls and stuff
3:57
So... That is one thing I'll give him, too. You don't ever treat your girls no different
4:01
Like, in that aspect, I am glad that he's a part of my niece's life because, ultimately, their father isn't going to be able to be here
4:08
for quite a while. So you really think, like, once you and your husband get the divorce
4:13
like you and G are gonna get married I think not right away like it's not you
4:19
know no girls that's gonna pop up or no like hitting stuff I don't this actually
4:25
leads to like what I wanted to talk to you about is the why I called you over
4:29
can you sit up just tell me so um G's married yeah he's definitely
4:43
married. I found out G was married when we were arguing actually. One day I just seen
4:48
his phone ringing and it said a wifey and I asked him, are you
4:52
married like for real? And he was like, yeah. I'm like, what? Why didn't I know
4:56
But I didn't care because I'm married. I'm going to cry. I hope
5:00
she's not with him. Oh no, no, no. She's in a whole relationship and
5:05
I'm in a relationship with him. He's definitely married though. He'll be
5:08
alright. I mean, if that's how it is. I'm going to cry. Please don't
5:15
I don't want to see you hurt again No, trust me, I don't allow certain things to hurt
5:20
You're a principal baby girl Thanks You guys are both willing to work through it
5:26
And get there I think you guys will make it Thank you, I appreciate you proof
5:32
I always going to have My little worry about you You approve of this message I approve of this message I feel like everybody in your life isn going to like or love your significant other
5:46
But again, it's not for them to like. It's about what makes you happy
5:50
What would you say to people who judge your relationship? It's not your relationship to love or like
5:55
He gets me my mood swings. I get him his mood swings. He's really my best friend
6:00
He's nuts. I'm nuts. We understand each other. Hi, my name is Sonali
6:09
I'm a stand-up comedian and a TV personality. Today, I am going on a blind date
6:14
and I have a huge secret to reveal to my date. The farthest I've gone is just the first kiss
6:20
In fact, I've only kissed five guys in my life. I'm looking for my one and only, my forever man, my soulmate
6:27
That is why I have decided to save myself for that special name. Hello
6:31
Hi. Will you give me a hug? I am still a virgin. I was still a virgin and I am still a virgin
6:39
How do you think it's going so far? Growing up in New Jersey was interesting
6:46
My parents are from India, so that makes me Indian-American. At home, it was the Indian culture. At school, it was the American culture
6:52
And it was quite interesting growing up with the two different worlds. I have decided to save myself for my special man because I believe that sex
7:01
which I don't call sex, by the way. I call it making love. It's a very special and sacred act
7:06
and I can't just give my body to any man. It's hard to date as a virgin
7:11
but on the flip side, I don't have to worry about UTI and STD
7:14
or an accidental pregnancy. So I'm protected. And you know, prevention is better than cure
7:19
So... Hi, my name is Carlos Vega. I am 39 years old
7:24
I'm an actor originally from Chicago, Illinois. My type is somebody who has a good sense of humor
7:30
somebody that doesn't take themselves too seriously, but somebody that really is straightforward, honest
7:37
somebody who just has a really positive energy about them. Hello. Hi
7:43
I'm Carlos. Sonali. Sonali. Nice to meet you. Very nice to meet you
7:47
Let me be a hug. I'm a little wet. It's okay. Very nice to meet you
7:52
So where are you from, Carlos? I am originally from Chicago. Oh, okay
7:56
I was born and raised in New Jersey. What brought you to LA? I'm an actor, so my career
8:02
I was acting in Chicago for a while. I came here for the weather. Not this weather
8:06
Right. Yeah, I mean, that's definitely another reason for sure. What's your cultural ethnicity, your cultural background
8:13
Yeah, my parents are both from Mexico. Do you speak Spanish? I do, yeah
8:18
Me llamo Sonali. Yeah. Tengo hombre, tengo beber. There you go. Me gusta bailar
8:23
Yo también. Salsa, merengue. Bollywood. Bollywood. Do you know what Bollywood is
8:29
Of course. So what made you decide to come to this blind date today
8:37
Conventional dating methods haven't worked for me. Sure. And also, in my culture, there's something called arranged marriages
8:45
where your parents choose who you're going to end up with. Yeah
8:49
And I'm very much against that. I think it's very old fashioned and it's not for me
8:55
You know, arranged marriage, I understand and respect the benefits of it, but I've realized it is not for me
9:02
Arranged marriage is your parents choosing who you're going to be sleeping with. My parents never talked to me about sex
9:07
That to me is just gross. Ew, no thank you. Hard pass. Cheers
9:13
Cheers. Here's to our health. So tell me a little bit about the work you do
9:19
What is it that you do for a living? I work at Equinox Fitness Club
9:23
Okay. Now I work as an operations manager. Awesome. And then besides that, I also do stand-up comedy
9:29
Awesome. Very cool. I kind of fell into that by accident. I mean, that's all we can do, right
9:35
I have been a stand-up comedian for a little over a year. I am damn proud to be a prude
9:41
In fact, just like how there's a pride flag, I have a prude flag
9:46
See, here it is. I kind of fell into it by accident. People have told me I'm funny over the years
9:50
so I guess I've been sort of a stand-up comedian all my life
9:55
I found just leveraging my hardships in life and putting a positive spin on it
10:00
has provided tons of material for stand-up comedy. Carlos, if you'll excuse me, I need to use the ladies' room
10:06
By all means. I'll be right back. Absolutely. Honestly, he's a bit dull personality-wise
10:15
He's intimidating-looking and he has a dull personality. What am I supposed to do with that, huh
10:20
Oh gosh, what am I gonna do? I'm screwed! Quite honestly, I want to bounce
10:27
I think that he will be very shocked when he finds out that I'm still a virgin
10:31
Oh, welcome back. Thank you. Yeah. Have you had much success on the dating apps
10:42
For me, honestly, I actually don't date. No? Dating is a life skill
10:48
I was actually forbidden from developing that skill growing up. I mentioned my parents are immigrants
10:55
They're from India. Dating doesn't exist traditionally in the Indian culture. So anyway, for me growing up, even though I was born and raised in America
11:02
I was raised as if I was in India. So I wasn't allowed to date growing up
11:07
Gotcha. No dating, no socializing, no sleepovers, no prom, and no dorming in college Got it Absolutely the way I was raised has had a profound impact on my adult dating life You know dating is a life skill and I was not allowed to develop that skill as a teenager and
11:25
so even now as an adult at age 36 I have no idea how to date and it's been difficult absolutely
11:33
it's been challenging. Frustrating if you will. What specifically are you looking for in a partner
11:38
I am looking for what Priyanka Chopra has with Nick Jonas. Okay
11:44
Are you familiar with them? I mean, yeah. Yeah, no, for sure
11:48
It seems like they have a really awesome partnership. From a woman's perspective, she really does have it all
11:53
When was the last time you were in a relationship with someone? I have been eternally single
12:02
Look, if I don't laugh about it, I'll cry. So that's why I'm giggling like a little girl
12:08
Incomplete transparency. I've actually never been in a relationship, short-term or long-term
12:16
I'm 36. I've only kissed five guys in my life. Each guy, that's the farthest it's ever gone
12:23
I am still a virgin. I was still a virgin and I am still a virgin
12:28
I'm the kind of girl who needs a ring on my finger. Sure. In order to go all the way
12:33
Yeah. Whenever these guys have ghosted me, I've been through emotional hell
12:37
if you will. Thank you, Juan, for sharing that. That's, you know
12:41
incredibly vulnerable of you to share. How do you feel about that? About me still being
12:45
a virgin at age 36? I think that that's just the path that you have been on in life
12:51
and that's no fault of your own. I feel completely fine with it. It doesn't really affect me one way or another
12:58
So you mentioned that you enjoy Bollywood? Yeah. How about you? Do you like dancing
13:03
Yeah. I mean, I'm, you know, Mexican. It's kind of in our blood to
13:07
As soon as we hear music, your hips are already swaying. So. Right
13:12
What is your favorite dance style? It's Bollywood fusion. Would you like to show me a little move or two? Okay
13:20
There's a lot of hip movement and hand movement happening at the same time. Okay
13:24
And the hips are connected to your feet. Right. So you go one, two, three, four
13:37
That's amazing. So that's Bollywood for you in a nutshell. Bollywood dance moves
13:43
Why don't you teach me some Mexican dance moves? We start here
13:47
I'll have my hand here. Yeah. Hand on the shoulder. One, two, three, four
13:55
But a lot of it has to do with just maintaining eye contact with your partner
13:59
Right? I'm just looking at our feet because I don't want to get stepped on
14:03
I don't want to step on you. No, no, no. You're fine. You're fine. This is all new to me. oh wow okay
14:14
it was great meeting you snale likewise yeah no i really enjoyed talking to you today so
14:21
thank you so much for meeting me today thank you for coming thank you how did the date go i had a great time uh you know i was obviously
14:32
So you're an amazing person. It's been great meeting you and learning about your culture as well
14:38
Thank you. The highlight of the date for me was the dancing
14:42
Yeah, no, I've got to agree. How did the date go? I know, listen, I'm very grateful for this opportunity, for this experience
14:54
I know I've shared how difficult conventional dating methods have been for me given that
14:59
I still have my V-card and that I also don't want an arranged marriage. And yes, I know what you're thinking
15:04
Vigors can't be choosers. But in all honesty, this date? No. I don't see any future with him
15:12
I did not feel any sort of natural connection with him. This blind date experience has taught me to just be open-minded to different experiences
15:20
with different people. I'm London and I'm going on a blind date, hoping someone can accept me for my career and who I am
15:33
I grew up in what most would call a fundamentalist religious group
15:38
So it definitely made my career choice seem a bit extreme. So tell me more about your occupation. Why is it so, I feel like I had to dig a little bit for it
15:48
I used to hide what I do for a living. I think it was a fear of judgment from others, maybe, or being accepted
15:57
So I'm curious as to what he'll think. I try to come with no expectations, but I just hope he's friendly and nice
16:08
I'm Marcus. I'm 30 years old, and I'm a photographer. This is my first blind date. I've been on many dates, but not many blind dates
16:16
Big turnoff. Negativity, negativity. I mean, I'm always half full of guys
16:20
so no matter what the situation is, we can make it work. So my date is almost here
16:25
I'm nervous, but I'm so excited. Let's do this. Hi. How you doing
16:33
Good, how are you? Marcus. Linda. Nice to meet you. It's a good sunny day out here
16:38
Yeah, it's beautiful. It really is beautiful. You're beautiful. Oh, thank you
16:42
OK, you came out full first today, huh? Oh, thank you. Wasn't playing. No, wasn't playing
16:46
Where are you from? I actually from Kansas but yeah far from home Yeah you are But I live here in LA OK how long you been here Four months Four months Yeah Oh you new baby huh Very new Yeah I been working in LA for a while but yeah
17:03
living four months. How do you work? I work in film. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, me too. So I work in like
17:09
a specific genre of film. I am in the adult film industry. Oh. I have been in the adult
17:18
entertainment industry for goodness, like 12 or 13 years. I started working at a strip club and having sugar daddies
17:26
and then just kind of kept branching out from there. I have had bad reactions when I tell people what I do
17:33
There's a lot of negative connotation to adult entertainment, and I think that has a lot to do with it
17:40
People have a perception before they actually get to know somebody in the industry
17:45
What sign are you? I'll give you a hand. Okay. I was born in September. That's not a hint
17:50
That's the whole answer. Is that a Sagittarius? No, I'm a Virgo
17:55
A Virgo. Oh, that's so funny. What are you? A Leo. A Leo
18:00
Yeah. You know Virgos and Leos get along? Do they? I've never heard that
18:04
Oh, no, they are today, though. Oh, cheers. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. It's been great meeting you
18:10
This is going better than you. Respect me, huh? Do you mind to buy Rino Burt to the ladies
18:17
It's going good. I think it's going better than I thought my first blind date would go
18:22
I told him what I do for a living. He just was like, oh, you know, that's cool
18:31
Hey. Hey, sorry to keep it waiting. So, um, so tell me more about your occupation
18:36
Why is it so, uh, I feel like I had to dig a little bit for it
18:40
Oh, um, yeah, because I guess it's just kind of taboo for a lot of people
18:44
It's way more acceptable. Yeah. You seem like a normal, everyday person
18:48
Yeah, I do. So it kind of gives me this, you know, mystique that, I mean, you guys aren't different people, you know
18:54
Yeah, that's the thing. We aren't, we're just like normal people, but dating relationships, it can get hard
19:00
I have a hard time, like, looking and meeting civilians is what we call them
19:05
If you try to go on dates, sometimes guys will think that they can profit off of a relationship
19:12
I haven't really dated anyone in probably like seven years. Seven years
19:18
Yeah. Like bad luck. Yeah. Just not even an effort. Yeah. Yeah
19:23
No effort, huh? I've got good friends and yeah. Would you say I'm like the most effort you put in recently in dating
19:31
Yes. You are the most effort. Definitely. Feel special. I don't have any kids
19:38
I have maybe 40 nieces and nephews, but I don't have any kids
19:43
Do you want kids? I have a kid. You have a kid? Yeah. I have a son
19:48
He's 12. Home and work is very, very separate, but yeah. I'm sure there can come a time where it could be an issue maybe, or I don't know
20:00
We'll wait and see. So, Ladi, tell me about your upbringing. I guess it really wasn't normal. My parents, probably when I was like five, converted to a really fundamentalist belief system
20:19
I grew up in what most would call a fundamentalist religious group
20:24
We kind of wore like little prairie dresses, no music, no TV, no dating
20:31
um so very sheltered i'm thankful for it but it definitely made who i am now in my career choice
20:42
seem a bit extreme compared to that so when i chose my career my parents didn't take that well
20:51
my mom called me and she said what is it like being a and i said it's wonderful thank you for
20:59
asking. It's a big deal to have your parents disown you. That was hard. I didn't just
21:05
lose a mom and dad, but I lost siblings, I lost friends
21:09
I wouldn't imagine. I couldn't imagine. I'm glad you made it through. You made it out
21:13
Yeah, thanks. Yeah, I mean, it gave you a different perspective, huh? Yeah
21:17
definitely. But I definitely, like, yearn for, like, that family. I think it's
21:21
just about creating your own family. I have a family. It's just one that I've created
21:26
A chosen family is just as good as anything else. So, uh, you ready to go
21:31
I am. Thank you for a great first date. It was a nice date
21:38
When he first walked in on the date and I saw him, I thought, oh, this is great
21:43
Like, I think they matched me well and, you know, just based off of looks
21:47
But once we, like, had conversations, we could stay. Like, I feel like we both had things to say
21:53
I think she was so very honest. It was easy to talk to. London, I'm up to Utah
21:57
We can obviously do your clinic. How do you feel you reacted to it? Oh, just very casual, so I think that was good
22:03
So it's very common these days. It's not really something that's too crazy
22:07
Did you guys come see each other again? Yeah, I think so. Possibly, yeah. So why not
22:11
It was fun. I had a good time, and I should try this more often
22:17
Maybe not blind dates, but just dating in general. Thank you
