Format

edit

Enamorándonos is a live dating/matchmaking format that was originally popularized in Turkey. With 17 years on live TV and 5000+ broadcast episodes, the format has proven to be a huge success. Since its debut, an incredible 120.000+ people have appeared on Love Is In The Air , hoping to find their soul mate. So far, 500 couples found their match on the show. The show brings people from all walks of life together for one common purpose: to find love! Love is in the air has encouraged and coached countless couples seeking rewarding relationships and happy homes since its debut.

Candidates who are looking to find their perfect match apply to the show and join the live studio show. The viewers at home who are interested in knowing these candidates call into the studio to meet them. At the studio, they meet for the first time on a blind date, and talk through an automated wall. Hopefully, there is a spark once the wall is withdrawn. But if not, the candidate goes back to the show to continue looking for true love.

Spin Off

edit

During 2022, Televisa and Univision announced the creation of an off-shoot series, named Enamorandonos: La Isla, which was hosted by Karina Banda and her husband, Puerto Rican actor, singer and show host Carlos Ponce.[5] The offshoot is available in the United States and Latin America, but it was filmed in Turkey.[6]

Enamorándonos: La Isla is an unscripted reality TV format where love is always in the air. Eight women and eight men looking to find their perfect match live together in a picturesque mansion or an island resort for 10 weeks, getting to know each other. The goal is to help these people find their soulmates and help them take the next step in their lives… with a fairytale wedding.

In the summer of 2024, Imagen Televisión began to license the format for a daily Mexican version of the series, currently hosted from Mexico City by Gaby Ramírez and Mauricio Mancera.
