Reality TV fans got to know Shaina on Love Is Blind season 2 as a 32-year-old hairstylist. Shaina seemed like a cast member who was dedicated to finding a serious relationship through this experiment, and during that process, she found some great chemistry with Shayne Jansen in the pods.

Unfortunately for Shaina, Shayne ended up falling for Natalie Lee and got engaged to her instead.
