Patrick Justus, a human design coach, caught fan attention after telling people that he uses his spleen to guide him, when it comes to finding a romantic connection.
But now, fans have slammed the reality star on social media, after a TikToker claimed he had a baby on the way while on the show.
A creator named Story Time With Rikkii said in the video: 'Patrick had a baby on the way and didn't tell no body about it.'
She then shared a photo of Patrick and the baby mum together while covering the woman's face.

The TikTok went on: 'She was pregnant with his child when he went on Love Is Blind UK.'
The woman who was pregnant with Patrick's child has allegedly spoken out about it too, according to the TikToker, writing: 'When he first tried to blackmail me, then goes on a dating show and then leaves you alone to go to Bali for 2 months spending his money there and then still calls you negative and a bad mom for losing it.'
The video went on to claim that Patrick's baby mum wrote: 'Isn't it crazy how one parent gets to carry on with their life, jobs, hobbies, and social life, and the other parent has to ask for a break to take a shower.'
Story Time With Rikkii continued to share a photo of the baby, as well as the woman pregnant and said: 'The math is mathing, and that means that he was in them pods with the baby on the way.'

Annoyed fans have claimed that he "wasted Aanu's time" as a result.
The Sun has contacted Netflix for comment.
Love Is Blind UK star leaves viewers 'feeling physically sick' as he details his VERY unique job
The star has also been slammed by fans after blaming the edit for his portrayal on the Netflix show.
Patrick has taken to his own TikTok to speak about his split from Aanu in the pods.
On the show, as he ends things, he says to Aanu that if he was in the room with her he would put his arm around her.

But on his TikTok, Patrick has denied ever saying this to Aanu, claiming that he actually said it to someone else.

He wrote: 'They cut away from my face to edit in this dumb comment.
'I never said 'if I was there I'd definitely put my arm around you.'
'They took this from another date with a different person and why would I put my arm around someone I did not propose to.

'It even sounds so weird and out of place.'
Fans have been left outraged, as one person wrote: 'This is such red flag behaviour. You can't just blame the edit.'
A second penned: 'I smell bulls***,' and a third added: 'This is reality TV Patrick, surely you knew what you were getting yourself into.'
Speaking in the pods to potential match Yolanda, Patrick said that he follows his spleen "literally to the second", later adding: "Listening to my spleen is the best way to find the love of his life.'
While it didn't win over Yolanda or another hopeful, Catherine, the idea intrigued singer Aanu, who sparked a connection with him.

But viewers were left baffled by his continued discussion of his spleen in conversation – with some left turned off by the chat, despite finding Patrick charming, saying it made them feel ill.
"I loveee Patrick, do you know how nice you have to be for me to ignore the fact you keep mentioning your spleen??" wrote one on X (formerly Twitter).
"Please the word 'spleen' is just making me cringe and feel physically sick. How many times are we going to have to hear this nonsense" said a second.
"This bloke and his damn SPLEEN, his spleen should have told him to stay home," said a third.
While a fourth noted: "The moment that guy talked about following his spleen, I would have been out of there."

Despite the spleen talk, Patrick and Aanu did hit it off on the show - at least to begin with.
However, the pair hit a wall when Aanu admitted that she puts a lot of weight into what her mum thinks, crediting her for helping her make decisions.
The comment was received badly by Patrick, who said that his "spleen was silent" and that their connected had "dipped", with her telling Aanu that she needs to learn to follow her own instincts.
From that point on, they struggle to get back on track – and when Aanu decides to open up to him by writing a song for him, he ends things before she can perform it.
"I don't want you to give a song to someone who is undeserving of that song," he told her.

"I've enjoyed thoroughly talking to you and going through this experience with you, but I have to follow my spleen."

The number of people employed by the firm totalled 183 with staff costs amounting to €8.8m. Willow Hill is a reference to Willow Hill psychiatric hospital that features in the series.
