You don’t expect to find love on reality television shows. Well, actual love. You can absolutely expect to find people pretending to be in love on reality television, those people just don’t tend to fall in love once the show wraps.

You really shouldn’t expect to find love on singing competition reality television shows. But sometimes proximity alone leads to long term love and nearly four years since meeting, two singers from The Voice, John Holiday and Rio Souma, both from Season 19, both on John Legend's team, are now legally, blissfully wed.

Two former contestants from season 19 of The Voice married each other in 2022.

On the Mar. 25, 2024 episode of The Voice, coach John Legend revealed two of his former picks met on the show, fell in love and had gotten married. John Holiday and Rio Souma, two singers on John’s team in season 19, had found love and married each other. This was verified on John Holiday's Instagram in July 2022.

In a Jan. 7, 2021 profile with the Green Bay Press Gazette, John spoke about his time on the successful NBC reality show. When asked about who he befriended from the show, he played if off diplomatically. “I’m a friendly person, so I was friends with everybody. There’s not a single person that I didn’t like."

There wasn't a point out of Rio specifically, but he did have glowing phrases for his coach John Legend. “I believe John Legend is an improbable human being. He’s a fantastic author. He’s a super singer, and I in reality did have a connection with him. I’m grateful for his trust in me, and I’m thankful that he pushed me to do some issues that I most likely I don't have ever carried out.”

Maybe a type of issues he shouldn't have ever accomplished with out John Legend is get started a relationship with Rio.

In an Aug. 1, 2022 interview with OutSmart Magazine, John spoke about his very new marriage and role in the LGBTQ group. “I’m proud to be a part of the LGBTQ neighborhood, as I believe that one among the things that I try to do in my work is to include everybody. I attempt to represent all the communities of which I'm a member. There are such a lot of challenges that we have got in our neighborhood, unfortunately," he stated.

John continued, "I'm hoping that during my lifetime, I see the eradication of hatred towards our neighborhood. I hope that my song and my life have created a conduit in which we will create conversation. I am hoping that I've been an example of what love looks like, and what strolling to your true, unique self looks like.”

Based on reactions from the preliminary 2022 Instagram wedding announcement and the 2024 John Legend marriage leak on The Voice, it seems like each John's and Rio's enthusiasts are nothing however supportive of every singer's authentic self.
