Who is still together from Love Is Blind UK?
The show’s format — participants get engaged in pods before ever meeting face-to-face — creates high drama at the altar, but it also means post-reunion relationship outcomes vary widely. Some couples say “I do” and stay together; others split at the altar or shortly after the cameras stop rolling.
Season 1 couples update
Season 1 brought participants from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Republic of Ireland, and the Channel Islands when it premiered on 7 August 2024. According to Cosmopolitan’s post-show reporting, Sabrina Egerton (35) and Steven Smith (37) married on the show but split after the wedding. Demi Brown and Ollie Sutherland also split at the altar. Jasmine Chamberlain and Bobby Johnson appear on the married list, though Cosmopolitan notes their current status is unclear without recent confirmation. Catherine Richards (29), who split at the altar with Freddie Powell, is reportedly now dating Jake Singleton-Hill post-show, with sources indicating they are living together with a dog after meeting through FaceTimes calls.
The pattern from Season 1 shows that three of the five documented couples split at or shortly after the wedding, with only Jasmine and Bobby still listed as married and Catherine’s post-show romance representing the most confirmed ongoing relationship development.
Season 2 couples status
Season 2 featured 30 singles from England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Republic of Ireland when it premiered on 13 August 2025. Marie Claire’s cast profiles confirm that Ashleigh Berry (30) and Billy Jervis (35) got engaged but split after their wedding ceremony. Kieran Holmes-Darby (28) and Megan Jupp married on the show and reportedly remain together. Bardha Krasniqi (32) was engaged to Jed Chouman but split at the wedding. Marie Claire reports that Kieran is a Mensa member and Forbes 30 Under 30 listee, adding a notable credential to Season 2’s cast.
Season 2’s early outcomes suggest a slightly higher initial success rate than Season 1, though the reunion aired only days before this writing.
Season 1 produces a higher confirmed-split rate than Season 2 at this stage, likely because Season 1 has had more time for post-show developments to surface. Catherine Richards’ new relationship stands out as the clearest post-show romance from Season 1.
Are Billy and Ashleigh still together?
Billy Jervis, 35, an Army Physical Trainer from Bangor, Northern Ireland, and Ashleigh Berry, 30, a Cabin Crew Manager from Surrey, England, appeared on Season 2 as an engaged couple. Marie Claire confirms that Ashleigh earned the nickname “Combat Barbie” during her Army Cadet days. However, their journey ended at the altar — Wikipedia records that they split after the wedding ceremony. The couple’s pod connection appeared strong during filming, but the traditional wedding reveal proved decisive.
Are Kieran and Megan still together?
Kieran Holmes-Darby, 28, a Gaming Entrepreneur from London, and Megan Jupp were among the most high-profile couples on Season 2. According to Wikipedia’s Season 2 record, they married on the show — a notably different outcome from the splits affecting several other Season 2 couples. Marie Claire notes Kieran’s credentials as a Mensa member and Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, suggesting the couple brought considerable ambition to the pods. No reports of separation had surfaced as of the reunion episode on 31 August 2025.
Who is on Love Is Blind UK Season 2?
Season 2 brought 30 new singles to the pods when it premiered on 13 August 2025, expanding the geographic spread to include Wales alongside the UK nations and Ireland already represented in Season 1. Marie Claire’s comprehensive cast profiles provide detailed backstories for many participants.
