“The Love Is Blind Couple Who Changed Everything”: Lauren Speed-Hamilton & Cameron Hamilton REVEAL Which Stars Gave Them the Most Parenting Advice, Calling Them ‘Life-Saving’ While Hinting Others Couldn’t Measure Up
If you're a loyal Love Is Blindwatcher, then it's likely you've kept up with the OG couples. Lauren Speed-Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton met on the first season of the series, and, now, their baby boy is almost here. We caught up with the couple to gauge how the pregnancy's going, how they're preparing for parenthood, and got all of the tea on which Love Is Blind couple is giving them the most parenting advice (and no, it's not Nick or Vanessa Lachey—yet!).
"I'm feeling good," Lauren Speed-Hamilton told us of her pregnancy. "We are very close to having a baby boy, like a month left. I'm tired. You're tired [pointing to Cameron]. But I'm so excited, and I'm just in love already."
The duo partnered up with popular diaper brand, Pampers, ahead of welcoming their first child, in order to kickstart the "Behind Every Baby" campaign. The initiative invites families to share their recent or real-time baby photos to give 100 winners a chance to win a year's supply of diapers.
"One of the things that we have been working on is our nursery and being sure that that's all stocked up," Lauren told Parade. "Pampers is going to be there on day one."
Earlier this year, the couple opened up about their IVF journey, citing it as a "very difficult" road. As far as parenting goes though, the duo is getting a lot of support from extended family, including one Love Is Blind couple that fans will surely recognize.
'LIB' Couple Amber and Matt Barnett Have Been 'Giving All the Tips'
Lauren and Cameron are still good friends with Matt and Amber Barnett, who also appeared on season one. When we asked the couple which duo in the Love Is Blind family has been offering the most advice, they mentioned that the Barnett's welcomed their first baby, a girl, back in April 2025.
"Amber has been giving me all the tips," Lauren said. "I mean, her baby shower gift was like so many little trinkets. She's like, 'I have explanations for each one. We're teaching her.'"
The Hamilton's explained that the couple has been "really great," joking that the Barnett's "will just give [them] their baby" whenever the friends get together as "practice."
"That was the first time I ever fed a baby from a bottle," Cameron added. "It was their baby."
Hosts of the LIB series, Nick and Vanessa Lachey, have three kids. Therefore, we got the scoop on whether or not the Lauren and Cameron reached out to the power duo for parenting advice as well.
"We haven't, but they do have a lot of kids," Lauren said. "So maybe we should try. Give us some good advice."
Lauren and Cameron Are 'Open' to Appearing on 'LIB' Again
We then asked the Hamilton's if they'd be open to updating fans on the new baby once things settle down, by appearing on upcoming Love Is Blind seasons.
"If they offer that to us, hey, I think we'd be open to discuss that," Lauren responded.
"I would love to pop on set and talk to the cast," Cameron added. "That would be pretty fun."
Love Is Blind is premiering its ninth season on October 1, 2025. The first season debuted in February 2020, where Lauren and Cameron met blindly. Although the pair has not appeared on Love Is Blind episodes since then, the couple has pursued other projects, such as their podcast titled, The Love Seat, and their book, Leap of Faith: Finding Love the Modern Way (2021, Simon & Schuster).
The Walking Dead: Dead City Vanishes from Sky Max Again – Here’s Why Fans Shouldn’t Panic
Fans of The Walking Dead: Dead City were left frustrated and confused after the hit spinoff series suddenly disappeared once again from Sky Max’s lineup in the UK. This marks the second time viewers have seen the series pulled from the platform, sparking questions about licensing, strategy, and the show’s future on Sky.
Licensing Issues at the Core
One of the most likely explanations for the removal comes down to licensing agreements. Sky typically secures broadcast rights from AMC, the studio behind The Walking Dead franchise, for limited periods of time. When those rights expire, the show is temporarily removed until new terms are agreed upon. This is a common practice across streaming and broadcast platforms, though it tends to frustrate audiences who are in the middle of a rewatch.
Preparing the Ground for Season 2
Another possibility is that Sky is strategically reshaping its content slate ahead of the much-anticipated release of Season 2 of Dead City, which has already been confirmed for summer 2025. By removing the first season now, Sky may be planning a relaunch campaign, bringing Season 1 back just in time to lead into Season 2’s premiere. This tactic has become increasingly popular among broadcasters, who aim to generate buzz by reintroducing past seasons shortly before new content drops.
Fans React: Frustration and Hope
Unsurprisingly, fans have taken to social media to vent their disappointment. Some worry the series could be gone for good, while others remain optimistic that the disappearance is temporary.
One fan wrote: “I was just about to binge Dead City after finishing The Walking Dead, and now it’s gone! Hopefully Sky brings it back before Season 2, because it’s a huge part of the story.”
Despite the frustration, many loyal viewers recognize that Sky would be unlikely to abandon such a popular franchise entirely.
Why Dead City Matters
Since its debut in 2023, The Walking Dead: Dead City has stood out as one of the strongest spinoffs in the franchise. Centered on Negan and Maggie navigating a post-apocalyptic New York City, the series offered fans both nostalgia and fresh storytelling. Its gritty atmosphere and emotional stakes earned strong reviews, cementing it as a cornerstone in AMC’s ongoing Walking Dead universe.
The Bottom Line
While the sudden disappearance of Dead City from Sky Max may feel alarming, industry observers insist this is most likely a temporary disruption. With Season 2 on the horizon, fans can reasonably expect Sky to restore Season 1 in time to fuel excitement for the show’s return.
For now, viewers may need to be patient—but rest assured, Dead City isn’t gone for good. If anything, its absence may simply be the calm before a summer full of undead chaos.
