Love Without Borders is an all-new reality TV series that is all set to premiere on Bravo in a few days. The upcoming reality dating series will feature five singles who put love to a test by uprooting their lives completely in search for true passion.

Each singleton from Love Without Borders will commence on a journey to an unknown destination outside the United States. Upon their arrival, they will be paired with their "perfect life partner," but there's a catch - their trip will come at very short notice.

Before their trip, the five singles won't be given a single detail about their partner. They will also not be able to speak or see a single picture of their "perfect match" before they leave the US.

The official synopsis of Love Without Borders reads,

"Love Without Borders follows five Americans – Aaron Motacek, Danna Richards, Philip Michael Thomas Jr., Naeem Thompson and Gurleen Virk – who put it all on the line for love."

One of the singletons on the show is Aaron Motacek, whose perfect partner is Maël Lucas, a former logistics consultant from Paris, France.

The series will air on Bravo on November 30, 2022, Wednesday night at 8 pm ET.
