Love Is Blind UK spoilers incoming.
Netflix's Love Is Blind UK season 1 is officially finished — and we finally know which couples tied the knot and are still together after filming the show. After the wedding episodes, things looked pretty good for our couples, with three out of six saying yes at the altar. However, now that the reunion episode has aired, we have some major updates.
The UK spin-off was everything we hoped it would be – bearing all of the hallmarks of the American original and the countless international spin-offs.
Don't worry, the golden goblets, windowless pods, and cringe-worthy proposal poems are all still prominent features of the show!
But, of course, the British contestants have added their own little spin on the dating show. As one viewer put it, “Dating your possible cousin — oh Love Is Blind UK you have bewitched me.”

The entire season (minus the much-anticipated reunion) have now dropped on Netflix. The couples have officially gone through the infamous pod stage of the “dating experiment” all the way to the altar. In the pods, singles meet and date without ever seeing each other. Then, they become engaged and get the chance to meet each other for the first time. In the first season of Love Is Blind UK, hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, six different couples became engaged, with five setting off on their “honeymoon" in Greece. They then moved in together before each having their own wedding day where they either said “I do” and got legally married or walked away.
So who is still together from Love is Blind UK?
Now that the wedding episodes have landed on Netflix, we can finally reveal which couples made it past the altar and where they're at a year on.
Including which couples are still going strong.
So, who is still together from Love is Blind UK?
Bobby and Jasmine
Still together.
Although Jasmine was initially torn between Bobby and Sam, she eventually trusted in her sweet connection with Bobby. After he delivered a rap (this is Love Is Blind after all) the pair became engaged. In the final moments of the first instalment, the pair can be seen setting off for Greece.
The pair hit a few hiccups on their journey — Jasmine wasn't too keen on Bobby's (absurd, wild, cringe-y) music video and Bobby was a little taken aback by Jasmine's hands-on mother. However, when the pair finally made it to the altar, they both decided to say “I do” and officially tie the knot.
In the reunion, it was revealed that the couple are still going strong.
“The reason why I went on to this show was to take away the surface-level ideas that we have, and to go for someone who I truly connect with on a deep level, who's going to love me and make me feel safe… here he is," said Jasmine of her husband during the episode. Added Bobby, “Next year you might see some little mini Johnson’s running around.”
Are Freddie and Catherine still together?
Not together.
Catherine started her journey in a love triangle with Ollie and Freddie, but eventually became engaged to Freddie, the funeral director. (And yes, there is a teeny tiny chance they could be cousins.)
The pair seemed to be going pretty strong throughout their time together, however things got a little complicated when Freddy began to worry that Cat's lifestyle was too “materialistic” for him. He also began to worry that Cat wasn't quite as up for a joke as he was.
When they got to their wedding day, Cat decided to say “I do,” but Freddy wasn't quite ready.
“I love you Cat. But the timing might not be right for us,” he explained. "This isn't a goodbye, it's not a rejection of the love that we share. Part of me wanted to say yes and embark on this journey with you, but looking into your eyes, I know I'm facing a truth that we both have to acknowledge. There's still mountains left for us to climb and lessons for us to learn before fully embracing a lifelong commitment. And I do love you Cat, but I just need to be honest to both of us."
He tried to hug Cat, but she whispered, “Don't hug me.” He then left her crying at the altar.
The pair had a chat later in which Cat said, “It's just going to take a lot for me to bounce back.” He replied, "I'm here to work through this together."
So, it seems the pair planned to keep working on their relationship — whether it worked out or not, we'll have to wait and see.
Five weeks ago, Cat posted a picture of herself on Instagram, writing, “I think I like this little life.”

We now know that that little life does not include Freddie. In fact, Cat is now dating another contestant from the show, Jake Singleton-Hill.
Freddie revealed during the reunion that he stood by his choice. “I felt our lifestyles were a little bit different," he said. "There were things that, personally, I wasn't happy about at times, and equally, you know, you probably felt I annoyed you at times and I think it was probably 50/50.”
Are Ollie and Demi still together?
Not together.
Ollie was drawn to Demi in the pods and after ruling out his connection with Catherine, the pair became engaged.
Although Demi was a little insecure about Ollie's first meeting with Cat, the pair proved that their connection was strong. Everything seemed to be going well — from living together to meeting the parents — until the wedding day.
Instead of saying, “I do,” Demi said, "I love you but I do not."
Ollie looked hurt and replied, "Why?"
She said: "Because I've learned to love myself in a whole different light during this journey. And actually that's testament to you, Ollie. And I know you do love me and I know you care about me and I know you appreciate me but i know what I want from a husband and I don't think we're quite there obviously. But it's not an ‘I do not’ and I'm going to walk away from you forever, it's an ‘I do not for now’. Because obviously the time we've spent I feel you've seen me and I love you for that."
Later, Ollie confessed to his friend that he was a little relieved.
Sadly, the pair didn't keep dating after the wedding. “Ollie’s a good guy, but he’s not my guy," said Demi at the reunion.
Ollie also revealed that he had been getting to know contestant Sharlotte.
Are Tom and Maria still together?
Not together.
Sweet, Birkenstock-wearing Tom fell for Maria in the pods. Although he also had a connection with Tash, he and Maria got engaged and set off for Greece.
The pair hit a few bumps in their relationship when Tom struggled with Maria's belief that women should never pay on a date and later when Maria was offended by Tom claiming that he initially judged her for her job as a makeup artist.
At the altar, Tom decided they weren't ready to tie the knot.
“I love you. I just feel like right now is not the right time for me,” he said. "We've had some differences in values and I haven't had enough time to really understand how those differences would affect our life day to day."
Maria later expressed her disappointment with Tom at the reunion. “It felt like he was indirectly insulting my family,” she said. "When it comes to raising my kids, I want to replicate what my mother has done, because she's raised kind kids, confident kids, kids who treat people based on how you treat them.”
Are Steven and Sabrina still together?
Not together.
Steven and Sabrina were the first couple to get engaged after a strong initial pod-attraction. From start to finish, the pair seemed super strong, agreeing on everything from lifestyle to their approach to the marriage. She even managed to find the humour in his itty bitty Speedos.
So, it was no huge surprise that the pair both said “I do.”

However, during the reunion episode, the pair revealed that they had since parted ways.
“I was trying to do everything I could to make the relationship work, and I just feel like you made zero accommodations in your life for me or our relationship,” explained Sabrina.
Steven replied, “We underestimated the added pressure of what the long distance caused… We just lost our spark. Our communication expectations of each other were very different.”
Are Sam and Nicole still together?
Not together.
Nicole was torn between Benaiah and Sam. After Sam seemed hesitant to commit to marriage, she turned her focus to Sam. Although Benaiah warned Nicole that Sam might be on the show for fame rather than for love, the pair became engaged.
However, after meeting face-to-face, the couple decided to call off their engagement.
Are Nicole and Benaiah still together?
Still together.
After Nicole called things off with Sam, she met Benaiah face-to-face for the first time. By the end of their chat, the pair were engaged. They set off for Greece where they met the other couples and began their own journey. The couple seemed perfectly happy — aside from the few moments when Sam came up in conversation.
The pair eventually both said “I do” at the altar.
“Living together, moved in together… I love her more each day," gushed Benaiah at the reunion. "She's unbelievable to me. She's had a great impact on me, in terms of who I am as a person, self-growth… I'm very appreciative of her for that.”
And Nicole felt the same: “I just want to say thank you, babe, so much for having my back, being my third eye… just genuinely, supporting me through every single thing. Thank you so much. I love you so much."
