Is the い in いる pronounced in a sentence?

I’ve been learning Japanese for an embarrassingly long time, but I guess I’d never bothered with this question before. I usually hear each individual character pronounced fully in my lessons on Duolingo, but often I hear people who speak Japanese say it without the い sound (ex. おばあさんが愛してる). Is it just a matter of a person’s accent or is there a correct way to do this?
