Overview
Devin Buckley is a basketball coach who appeared on the Minneapolis-based eighth season of Netflix’s Love Is Blind. He formed an engagement with Virginia Miller after exploring connections in the pods. Their courtship included discussions about vulnerability and what each expected from a lasting partnership. Netflix’s account of the proposal noted that he used her grandmother’s ring, connecting the experiment’s engagement to an existing family tradition.
Before viewers met him on the show, Buckley had built work around basketball and mentoring. Netflix’s cast guide introduced him as a youth director and coach, and described his training business and mentoring program. It also identified him as a high school coach. His ambitions for a relationship included a partner who could support that work, while still making space for a shared home life outside practices and games.
Cooking was one of the interests he hoped to bring into that home life. Rather than focusing on nights out, his introduction described enjoying time at home with food, music and dancing. He imagined preparing meals with a partner and sharing the everyday routines around them. That picture of domestic life complemented the family-focused plans being discussed in the pods, while giving viewers details beyond his professional identity on the basketball court.
Buckley and Miller reached the wedding stage but did not marry. In his post-reunion interview with Netflix, he reflected on wanting to communicate his opinions more openly in a future relationship. He also said their conversations after the wedding had not brought them back together. MPR News later included him in its August 2025 cast update, part of its continuing coverage of how the Minneapolis participants were building lives beyond the filmed engagements and reunion.
