Love Is Blind alumna Stacy Snyder has come out as queer.
The 32-year-old founder of Closet Audit, who rose to fame after appearing on season five of the hit Netflix dating show, did so by debuting her new girlfriend on Instagram on Wednesday.
She uploaded a short video of herself sitting alone in a wine bar as text appeared on the screen addressing recent speculation about her life.
“She’s single again. She has a boyfriend. She’s irrelevant,” it said.
But then Snyder’s new girlfriend comes into view and kisses her on the lips as the text changes to: ‘She’s happy’
Love Is Blind alum Stacy Snyder came out as queer this week and debuted her new girlfriend on Instagram
Snyder captioned her post, “Surprise!” with a rainbow emoji, symbolizing the LGBTQIA+ community.
While she didn’t reveal the identity of her new love in her Wednesday post, keen-eyed fans believe Snyder is dating a Peruvian woman named Pame.
Pame has a private Instagram account with a profile picture that strongly resembles the long-haired woman in Snyder’s coming out video.
Pame — who, notably, has a rainbow emoji in her Instagram bio — often has flirtatious interactions with Snyder in the comments sections of her posts.
They also follow each other.
Snyder admitted on her Instagram Story that she was “totally scared” to come out to her 195,000 followers.
She expected an outpouring of “hate,” but instead fans expressed their support for the star en masse.
“I’m literally speechless. I didn’t expect that. I actually expected hate, a lot of hate,” Snyder said.

‘I always get a lot of hate… but anyway, it was just a lot of fun. [It’s a] ‘Fucking nice change, so thank you. I love you all.’
On Thursday, Snyder shared a photo of herself and her girlfriend holding hands as they sat next to each other on a plane.
She captioned the post: “One of us wanted the early flight, the other didn’t.”
Snyder rose to fame in 2023 when she appeared in the fifth season of Netflix’s Love Is Blind, a dating show in which contestants fall in love and get engaged without knowing what the other person looks like.
During her time on the show, Snyder fell head over heels in love with fellow influencer Izzy Zapata, who proposed to her in the pods.
But things took a turn when Izzy confessed to Stacy that he had a low credit score, after she had previously told him how important financial stability was to her.
After an “awkward” conversation between the two, Izzy claimed he hired a financial advisor before their wedding in hopes of “repairing” the relationship.

But Snyder ultimately refused to give Izzy the yes, feeling they needed more “time” to work through their issues.
Snyder and Izzy revealed on the season five reunion show that they hadn’t spoken in a year, after briefly reconciling following their failed marriage.
Snyder moved on with Married at First Sight star Ryan Ignasiak in early 2024, but it’s unclear when and why they split.
