Ingi Hilmar On 90 Day Fiance
When Ingi Hilmar and his girlfriend Corona Blakey decided to try their luck at being cast in a major American reality TV series, it was the furthest he had ever gone from his comfort zone. They had been dating for a year at that point and spent the majority of their time apart.
The show in question is called 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, and it centers on Americans who relocate back to their native country after falling in love with foreigners. As a result, Corona relocated to Iceland, where a sizable American film crew observed the couple’s everyday activities.
Ingi shared with an Icelandic news website, “Corona is from the US, lives in Philadelphia, and is a big fan of these shows. Last New Year’s Eve she comes to visit and we have just started seeing each other. She calls me right before she gets here and says, “Ingi, don’t freak out, but I sent an email about us to 90 Day Fiance and they just called.”
“At the time, she had been hanging with her friends and sent it as a joke, but they were in the process of production at the time and just called the next day, it was such a great fit and they wanted us. At first I just said I’m fine, I’m not interested in this,” Ingi added. “She had to put in some effort to convince me that it would be a mood. Then I just thought that I would surely regret not doing this and decided to go for it. This is, of course, a very funny and strange opportunity to participate in American reality television.”
Ingi, who isn’t a fan of reality TV show, shared that shooting hours were quite long, lasting twelve-hour days from morning to night.
He also added that an Icelandic MMA fighter was provided with the task of serving as a bodyguard in the set. He added, “It was also a real production and I was not expecting that at all. Lots of camera crew and they also wanted a bodyguard. I just said that if someone was going to kidnap me, it would probably be some relative doing a joke, they didn’t quite understand that everyone here knows each other.”
For his intro, Ingi shared that he sometimes played Dungeons and Dragons and the crew wanted to shoot that. He believed that they were going to shoot him roll dice but instead, they started asking uneasy personal questions.
“For example, there’s a guy there that I know mostly just through playing together. They start asking him “just what do you think about Ingi starting to see Corona? Now she’s black, what do you think his parents will say to that?” He just said, “uh, Ingi is a nice guy,” Ingi shared about his filming experience. “Everyone was always trying to get something out of me and the people around me. I think it’s really just in the Icelandic DNA not to share much except with those closest to you. I also don’t care about any stereotypes and hate criticizing people.”
Because Ingi and Corona were on the same team he had to dig deep into his acting skills to exaggerate some feelings. Overall, Ingi had an exciting experience filming the show.
“I think I have little to be embarrassed of. Of course, this is always going to be a very memorable life experience. I just think it’s crazy to have taken part in this and it was a lot of fun to take part, I am excited to see this, I would have always regretted it if I hadn’t gone for it. This is as far out of my comfort zone as possible, but that’s also what’s fun about life, you just have to be able to throw yourself in the deep end.”
Are Ingi Hilmar And Corona Blakey Still Together?
No, according to the outlet, Ingi Hilmar and Corona Blakey are no longer together. Talking about their relationship, Ingi shared that they met on New Year’s Eve at Kaffibar.
“I then had an afterparty and invited her and we got along very well. We then go on a double date with her friend and a girl she was seeing and after she goes back to America we are constantly chatting on Instagram. She then asked me to meet in Dublin last fall, which I did, and after that she came to visit Iceland in December,” Ingi added about his relationship with Corona.
Before the film crew arrived, Ingi and Corona, who had not been together for long, managed to spend two months together here in Iceland. Nevertheless, the partnership did not succeed.
Talking about their break up, Ingi added, “The shooting took its toll, but we were still good after that. Then we are actually broken up today. It just didn’t work out, she lives in the United States and is studying midwifery at a very nice Ivy League university there. Of course, all breakups are difficult and sad, but it’s been a while and this was the right decision.”
