Meet the Hosts and Get the Latest Scoop on Love Is Blind: UK
The success of the British spin-off is largely attributed to its charismatic and genuinely invested hosts, Matt and Emma Willis.

The Filming Secrets: Where Did Love Truly Go Blind?
While the contestants hailed from across the UK, the initial "pod phase" wasn't filmed on British soil. To maintain the secrecy and isolation required for the experiment, the British singles were flown to Stockholm, Sweden, where the iconic pods were set up.
Once engaged, the couples' journey continued to the retreat phase, which took place in Cyprus before returning to the UK for the co-habitation and wedding preparations. The grand finale—the weddings—were filmed at the stunning Wynyard Hall, a luxurious venue in the North East of England, adding a touch of stately glamour to the emotional final decisions.
8 Shocking Revelations from the Season 2 Reunion and Couples Update
Season 2, which premiered in August 2024, concluded with a dramatic reunion special in late August 2025, revealing the true fate of the couples who made it out of the pods. While four couples walked down the aisle, the reunion proved that a "yes" at the altar doesn't always guarantee a lifetime together. Here are the most recent updates on the couples as of December 2025.
- Ashleigh and Billy: The Golden Couple’s Split. Ashleigh and Billy were the first couple to get engaged and the final pair to say "I do" at the altar, closing the finale on a high note. However, the reunion revealed they had since separated. Their split was amicable, with both citing the difficulties of transitioning from the intense environment of the experiment to real-world life as the main challenge.
- Bardha and Jed: The Legal Loophole. Bardha and Jed were one of the more volatile couples, yet they both said yes at the altar. The reunion confirmed they were no longer together, with Jed facing intense scrutiny over his behaviour post-filming. The drama centered on Jed's alleged lack of commitment to Bardha once the cameras stopped rolling.
- Sarover and Kal: The Annulment Debate. Sarover and Kal were another couple who got legally married but ultimately divorced. The reunion brought up a heated discussion about the complexities of their split and the legal process, with Sarover explaining that they were not eligible for an annulment despite their short marriage. Kal has since moved on and is reportedly in a new relationship as of late 2025.
- Megan and Kieran: The Quiet Breakup. This couple also said yes at the altar, but their relationship proved to be short-lived once they left the bubble of the show. The reunion confirmed they had quietly broken up, with both expressing a desire for different things in life despite their strong initial connection in the pods.
- The Unseen Engagements. A shocking revelation from the aftermath was the existence of other engaged couples who were not featured in the main edit of the season. This is a common practice in the franchise, but it sparked curiosity among fans about the full scope of the experiment and the connections that were left on the cutting room floor.
- Jasmine and Bobby's Baby News. In a wonderful update that proves the experiment can work, Season 1 couple Jasmine Johnson and Bobby Johnson announced the birth of their baby boy in December 2025. This heartwarming news provided a much-needed success story and a full-circle moment for the UK franchise.
- The Messiest Reunion Yet. Season 2's reunion was described by many viewers as the "messiest" part of the season. Unlike the relatively smooth sailing of the main episodes, the reunion was packed with fiery confrontations, emotional breakdowns, and shocking accusations, particularly concerning the post-show behaviour of several male contestants.
- The 'Trust My Spleen' Meme. A fun, unexpected entity to emerge from the season was the phrase "Trust My Spleen," which became an instant meme and LSI keyword for the season. The phrase originated from a contestant's attempt to explain a gut feeling, highlighting the unique, often quirky language of the UK cast.
The Future: Love Is Blind: UK Season 3 and Beyond
For fans already craving more pod-based drama, there is excellent news. Netflix has officially confirmed that Love Is Blind: UK has been renewed for a third season. The announcement came as a relief to viewers who are eager to see a new batch of British singles test whether love is truly blind.
While an official release date for Season 3 has not been locked in, the show appears to be settling into an annual release pattern. Given that Season 1 aired in August 2023 and Season 2 in August 2024, industry predictions suggest that Love Is Blind: UK Season 3 will likely premiere in August 2026. The renewal confirms the show's strong performance on the global streaming platform and its place as a key pillar in the international Love Is Blind franchise.
The new season is expected to follow the same format: a group of diverse singles from across the UK will enter the pods, get engaged without ever seeing each other, travel to a romantic retreat, move in together in the UK, and eventually face their wedding day. With Matt and Emma Willis set to return, fans can anticipate another season of genuine connections, dramatic real-world challenges, and the ultimate test of love over physical attraction.
