Viewers couldn't get enough of the awkward pod chats, explosive reveals, and cringe-worthy altar moments. From brutal break-ups and shock walkouts to unexpected love stories, the first series delivered big on drama. But what are they doing now? Bobby & Jasmine - Baby on the way This beloved duo melted viewers' hearts as they tied the knot in the finale. They are still very much in love, and they're expecting their first child in winter 2025. The couple announced their happy news in a rap song on social media. Benaiah & Nicole - Still going strong After a dramatic love triangle in the pods, Nicole ditched Sam and committed to Benaiah. They married in the finale and are still together, living as a happy married couple. They are enjoying travelling the world together, posting snaps from their lavish holidays on social media. First look at Love Is Blind UK series two with Matt and Emma Willis as Netflix reveals launch date Nicole is very vocal about her ADHD diagnosis, while Ben hosts his own podcast called Beyond the Pod. Steven & Sabrina - Marriage to split Fans thought they were the frontrunners. But the couple called it quits after less than a year, blaming long-distance woes and communication breakdowns. They are both still single. Steven is focusing on fitness and gym training as he documents his journey on Instagram. While Sabrina travels around the world, going to Formula 1 events, and advocating for women in sport. Freddie & Catherine - Couldn't marry, Moved on They were engaged, but Freddie pulled out at the altar, citing lifestyle differences. They split - and Catherine is now dating Jake Hill, another contestant from Love is Blind UK, who failed to make it out of the pods. They are happily dating and regularly share loved-up snaps on their social media. Meanwhile, Freddie tried to find love again on Netflix's Perfect Match. Despite finding a connection with Madison Errichiello - from Love Is Blind US - she was reshuffled to date Jalen from Too Hot to Handle, meaning Freddie was eliminated from the villa by episode six. But Freddie is keen to go back for another chance of love, asking his followers: "Who wants to see me back in the house?" Tom & Maria - Altar no-show Their wedding day ended with a shocker - Tom walked away from the altar. Their differing values proved too big a hurdle, and they have since gone their separate ways. Both are still single. Maria has continued her work as a makeup artist and occasionally conducts street interviews, quizzing the public on dating and relationships. While Tom hosts a podcast about male behaviour in dating and relationships called "Why Do Men...?" Ollie & Demi - Almost, but not quite They got engaged, but didn't quite make it. Demi backed out before saying 'I do,' and while they remain polite, the couple didn't stay together. Ollie is now engaged and expecting a baby with Amber Desiree 'AD' Smith - who appeared on Love Is Blind US season six. Sparks flew while they were looking for love in another Netflix show, Perfect Match. They delighted fans as they captured their stunning beach proposal in a video both posted to Instagram and aired during the reunion episode. And now, they've got a little one on the way too. Meanwhile, Demi is single and focused on being an advocate for women's health and sports. Sam Klein - Engaged Sam faced a huge public backlash after Love is Blind aired, with viewers branding him a "villain" and "walking red flag". But that didn't stop him from meeting his match with an Israeli radio star. Sam got down on one knee and popped the question to Shani Goldstein, who previously appeared on Big Brother Israel. Sam also took to TikTok to share a smitten video with Shani, with the caption to the video reading: "Life completed." 6 Ben and Nicole are still going strong as they travel the world together Credit: Instagram 6 Freddie had another chance of love on season 3 of Perfect Match - but was brutally eliminated Credit: Instagram 6 Sam is engaged despite being labelled a "walking red flag" by fans Credit: Instagram 6 Catherine found love with another contestant, Jake, who never made it out of the pods Credit: Instagram
