Netflix’s highly anticipated UK season of Love is Blind had the nation under its spell, with the final episodes and the reunion show, hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, finally out so we can find out who got married and what happened next.

While it might have been short-lived for the likes of Sam Klein, fans can expect to see more of the lasting couples and their cast favourites on social media now that all the episodes are out.

Over the season, we watched Benaiah and Nicole, Ollie and Demi, Jasmine and Bobby, Tom and Maria, Steven and Sabrina all fall in love and fans want to know how another hot topic of a couple, Freddie Powell and Catherine Richards' love story ended.

The pair may have originally connected all the way back in the pod days, but are Freddie and Catherine still together now after the show? Here’s what we know.

Are Freddie and Cat still together?

Freddie and Cat are no longer together after he said no at the altar. Their wedding was an emotional occasion, after he didn't say 'I do' to his bride at the alter, despite writing her a romantic letter for her to read while she got ready and buying her a pair of earrings to match her engagement ring, which he said he bought because he didn't want to be frowned upon for not getting her a present.

While Catherine said, 'I do', Freddie told her: "I love you Cat, but the timing might not be right for us. This isn’t a goodbye. It’s not a rejection of the love we share. Part of me wanted to say 'yes' and embark on this journey with you. But as I look into your eyes, I know I’m faced with a truth we both have to acknowledge.”

As he tried to hold her, Cat whispered: "Don't hug me," and she was left looking extremely awkward at the altar as Freddie left the room, tearing up as his sister consoled him.

The couple are no longer together, confirming at the reunion they went their separate ways after their wedding. In fact, Cat is seeing someone new, another Love is Blind UK cast member no less; Jake Singleton-Hill.

Where is Freddie now?

Freddie seems to be making the most of his newfound fame, having posted about his recent trip to London he also seems to have put his career as a funeral director on hold for now as he puts some TLC into nurturing his new huge online following.

Freddie has seen a significant increase in his Instagram following since appearing on Love is Blind UK, as he currently sits at 270k followers at the time of writing and that’s expected to go up as more people watch the series.

He has also set up a TikTok account where he claimed to want to interact with his fans more, “If you guys have got any questions, then stick them in the comments and over the next few days I’m going to try to be a bit more active and get back to you,” he said in his first video after thanking his fans for supporting him.

Where is Cat from Love is Blind UK now?

Whilst Cat was originally from Jersey yet she's been spotted out and about in London as her schedule fills up off the back of her newfound fame.

She's also started a new relationship in recent months, with fellow Love is Blind UK cast member Jake.

Cat told the Baliwick Express: "Jake, he was in the pods, but he wasn't chosen. He got engaged, but he wasn't chosen to go on the retreat. So not everyone is picked. Netflix only choose five couples, I was lucky enough, but sadly, he wasn't. But his journey was very rough in there, like he had a rollercoaster of emotions, like the way he was treated.

“So I reached out to him. I hadn't seen him. I only saw Freddie and the couples on the retreat, so I saw him on socials, and I was like, ‘I wonder if he's the one from the show’. So I messaged him. I was like, ‘hey, like, just want to check in, are you okay?’ Because I was in the girl lounge with his fiance, and I just knew the drama that was going on that was crazy.

"And he messaged me, and he was like, 'Who is this? And I was like, 'Cat'. And he was like, 'Oh my God', because he didn't know what I look like!”

Cat has also started her own TikTok account, gaining over 80k followers on Instagram too.

Whilst her status as a dental nurse is up in the air, her Instagram bio still showcases her email to book her as a dancer, and with the years of training it takes to become a professional, it’s no surprise she hasn’t let that fall to the wayside.
