You might have thought the drama from Love Is Blind UK wrapped up with the reunion, but it turns out the chaos is far from over. The drama has only intensified in ways no one could have predicted. First, Sabrina Egerton and Steven Smith announced their breakup, quickly turning to publicly bash each other in interviews. Then, Demi Brown confessed that her friendship with Jasmine Chamberlain had ended, all due to Ollie Sutherland’s new romance with fellow contestant Sharlotte Ritchie.
It seems the drama is just getting started. But the surprises don’t stop there—another Love Is Blind UK couple has emerged. Catherine Richards, who got engaged to Freddie Powell during the show, has revealed that she’s now in a relationship with co-star Jake Singleton-Hill. The dancer shared the news on Instagram, posting a heartfelt video of the two with a touching caption.
She wrote, “Find someone who loves you for who you are. This was the hardest secret to keep! I found my happy ending—who would have thought one date in the pods would lead to this? Thank you for being my best friend and the perfect partner. Thank you for loving and understanding me. I can’t wait to continue this journey with you by my side. Love is truly blind.”
If you don’t recall Jake from the show, it’s understandable—his screen time was minimal. Although he did propose to someone in the pods, their story never made it to air.
The couple’s relationship first came to light during the reunion when Freddie mentioned, “Not long after Cat and I split, she started seeing someone else from the pods. It was tough.”
Catherine later confirmed to the Bailiwick Express that she’s been with Jake for a year. She shared how she reached out to him, recalling, “His experience was rough, but I connected with him after seeing him on social media. I slid into his DMs, and we ended up on a five-hour FaceTime call that night, talking every day for the next five weeks.”
