Love Is Blind UK has created six brand new couples including Tom and Maria and Steven and Sabrina, but where are the couples now, who is still together?
Love Is Blind UK, hosted by Matt and Emma Willis, has just landed on Netflix for season 1, and been confirmed for season 2, but it’s already been a huge success with reality TV fans as they watch 30 contestants get to know each other from behind a wall before some of them get engaged.
And it’s not just the drama viewers are enjoying, surrounding the likes of Benaiah, Nicole and Sam, but this time around there are some genuine connections on the experiment that viewers are adamant will last.
Tom and Maria, Nicole and Benaiah, Demi and Ollie, Sabrina and Steven, Freddie and Cat and Jasmine and Bobby are just a few of the couples who viewers watched get to know each other after they got engaged in the pods and began their journey toward marriage.
Following the Love is Blind UK reunion we now know where each of the couples' relationships stand, with a few shocking splits leaving viewers heartbroken.
But are any couples from Love is Blind UK still together now? Let’s take a look.
Tom and Maria are no longer together after he didn't say, 'I do' at the altar, leaving Maria stunned. He said that their 'cultural differences' ultimately led to their breakup.
In a confessional TikTok he said: "Leading up to the wedding day, it was pretty clear that Maria and I had some pretty big cultural differences, and ultimately we both felt that it was going to be a 'no' at the altar. The format of the show means that one of us has to walk away first sadly."
He added that he has "nothing but respect" for Maria and at the reunion they proved that they're mostly on civil terms, both laughing when Maria made it clear there were no feelings between them anymore.
The couple had a strong connection in the pods, getting engaged – where she hilariously covered him in red lipstick – and heading on their pre-wedding honeymoon to begin the countdown to their big day.
They had a few challenges along the way, mainly around getting familiar with each other’s cultural differences, but their connection seemed to stay strong throughout.
Tom had another connection in the pods with Natasha, who admitted she ‘loved’ him when the two reunited at a party, but Tom seemed pretty secure in his relationship with Maria after they came face to face.
Bobby and Jasmine are very much still together after a mostly smooth-sailing relationship since the moment they met through a wall. At the reunion show they revealed they're even currently trying for a baby and are now living in a place of their own.
The couple hit it off straight away in the pods, with Jasmine shutting down her connection with Sam to pursue things with Bobby.
They had a blissful start on the outside world, getting to know each other on their first holiday to Greece before moving in together, their only proper test being meeting Jasmine’s mum, Marisa, who didn’t hesitate in giving Bobby a grilling.
Jasmine also vocalised her insecurities over using social media, after finding budding rapper Bobby had a music video for his song 'The Body of a Dancer' in which he frolics about a beach with a model. However, Bobby listened to her concerns and reassured her he wouldn't be sliding into anyone else's DMs.
Steven and Sabrina appeared to be each other’s soulmates when they met in the pods, despite having different views on starting a family, and fans were rooting for them to get married at the end of the series. However, after 86 days of marriage Steven and Sabrina split as their relationship broke down in the outside world.
Sabrina explained in an interview with us that she felt her level of commitment wasn't reciprocated by Steven, and on the reunion show she said she flew to London to see him seven times while he came to her hometown in Belfast just twice.
The final straw was when he text her two days before Christmas to say he wouldn't be joining her and her family for the occasion.
Sadly, Sabrina was diagnosed with depression and anxiety as she came to terms with the fact their relationship would soon be playing out on Netflix. She admitted keeping the news of her split from some of her closest friends as she was 'embarrassed' that the experiment hadn't worked out.
However, after some solo travelling, starting her own business and undergoing therapy, Sabrina said she was 'in a better place' compared to the weeks that followed their breakup.
The couple are now trying to get an annulment.
Ollie and Demi appeared to be one of the strongest couples on Love is Blind UK, but sadly they're no longer together since Demi said 'no' at the altar, despite saying her decision was a 'diversion' and not the end of the road.
At the reunion she explained to host Emma Willis: "He's a good guy, but he's not my guy." It then emerged Ollie has been dating Demi's fellow 'pod squad' member Sharlotte.
Demi and Ollie were completely at ease with each other throughout the experiment, however, they faced a test when Ollie’s demeanour changed when he came face to face in Corfu with former love interest Catherine, who he’d also connected with in the pods before deciding on Demi.
They quickly resolved their issues though and when they returned to the UK they only grew stronger as they moved in together. Demi's parents and siblings also welcomed Ollie with open arms and it only made fans love them even more.
On the reunion show Demi said she felt like a different person to the woman who begun the experiment last year, realising she wanted to get back to who she was and thanking Ollie and her cast mates for bringing her confidence back.
Freddie and Catherine split when he decided not to go through with their marriage, much to Catherine's shock.
When they first met they connected over the fact their grandparents had the same names, opening up about their love of their family and quickly falling for each other.
However, on the outside world they faced some harder challenges as they get to know each other while living together. Freddie was seen questioning whether he’s more of a homebody than Catherine and she feared he was disinterested when they went shopping together.
They also clashed when Freddie said he wanted a prenup, leading fans to have doubts over whether they would make it past the aisle, which they didn't.
Benaiah and Nicole had a dramatic start to their relationship after she picked her other connection, Sam, to get engaged to, despite Benaiah saying he felt he wasn’t in the experiment for the right reasons. But they're very much still together and super loved up.
After getting engaged to Sam, Nicole had a quick change of heart, taking the fact she put the engagement ring on the wrong finger as ‘a bad sign’. She then reunited with Benaiah who proposed in the outside world, putting them both back in the experiment.
As they went on their ‘mini-moon’ together and then moved into a flat together in London, the couple appeared to be a strong pairing, getting the blessing from Nicole’s parents, who had hesitations given she’d been married before, and Benaiah’s mum and sister, who soon warmed to Nicole despite being upset at first over how heartbroken Benaiah had been when Nicole didn’t originally pick him.
