It’s not every day a person intentionally hangs out for hours with an ex with their new flame, but former fiancésKyle AbramsandShaina Hurleyhad to do just that when it came time to reunite forLove Is Blind:After the Altar.
Netflix assembled nearly all ofLove Is Blind’s season 2 cast members for Friday’s three-part special — and some new faces even joined the mix, including Shaina’s now-husbandChristos Lardakis. (The duotied the knotin Greece in July after the special was filmed.)
Kyle, 30, tells PEOPLE he “briefly” came face to face with the couple, though he understandably isn’t counting the moment among his cherished memories.
“I don’t even remember what I said,” he shares. “I was like, ‘This is awkward.'”
Kyle says he was “never going to be the person that doesn’t act cordial,” despite a fraught situation — plus “there was no reason to be rude,” he said, even if his relationship with Shaina, 32, ended poorly.

Fans witnessed Kyle and Shaina’s love story unfold onLove Is Blindearlier this year. Shaina accepted Kyle’s proposal while they were in the pods, but things fell apart once the pair entered the real world.
Not only was Shaina conflicted over her lingering feelings forShayne Jansen, she also had reservations regarding her religious differences from Kyle. They eventually called off the engagement, and Kyle has since been rumored to be dating costarDeepti Vempati.
Kyle admits that he did, at one point, realize that the now-exes were likely not destined to be together.
Asked whether he’s happy Shaina has found love with her now-husband, Kyle says, “Yeah.”
“She’s not a bad person,” he adds. “I don’t wish anything bad on her.”
