"The biggest ring dispute of Season 9 so far has been between Patrick Suzuki and Kacie McIntosh after she pulled away once they met face-to-face. He told his co-stars on camera, "I asked for the ring back and she stopped talking to me," per Us Weekly. Still, she wouldn't be the only one. On the Oct. 16 episode of the Love to See It podcast, Madison Maidenberg was open about keeping her ring after splitting from Joe Ferrucci. Confirming she kept it, she said, "No question about where the ring goes at this point," alluding to Ferrucci's last-minute decision to dump her."
"On LIB, the show will cover the cost of the ring, as creator Chris Coelen explained to Entertainment Weekly earlier in October. "We supply them with the rings, and at that point, those rings are theirs," he said. "They never have to give them back if things don't work out. They're their rings." He acknowledged that some contestants have acted as if they were the ones to foot the bill in the past."
Disagreement over engagement rings frequently arises when Love Is Blind couples split before marriage. Season 9 featured disputes such as Patrick Suzuki asking for his ring back after Kacie McIntosh pulled away and Madison Maidenberg keeping her ring after Joe Ferrucci ended their engagement. Traditional etiquette suggests the dumpee keeps the ring when the proposer paid for it. Love Is Blind covers the cost and supplies the rings, and the show treats those rings as belonging to the contestants who receive them. Reported ring prices on the show usually range in price from $3,500.
