Yahoo News Meet Love Is Blind UK's Jake, who Catherine is now dating
Netflix has now aired every episode of Love Is Blind UK, including the reunion, in which Catherine revealed that after her relationship with Freddie broke down and he said 'I do not' at the altar.
In a separate interview, Catherine revealed she actually went on to form a relationship with someone else from the pods, and some internet sleuthing has revealed that person is Jake. Here's what you need to know about him.
30 cast members entered the Love Is Blind UK experiment for season one, in the hope of going on a series of dates in the pods, falling in love without ever seeing their future partner and hopefully getting engaged.
Jake was one of these 30 people and here's everything you need to know about him.
Wait, what has Catherine said about dating Jake from Love Is Blind UK?
Catherine was speaking on a Jersey-based podcast when she revealed that she's actually in a new relationship. In a clip that has been shared to TikTok on 24th August 2024, she explained that her new beau is someone she met on the show, and they've been together for almost a year.
The 29-year-old excitedly told the host: "I'm with someone now, from the pods, funnily enough. Exclusive!" She then added that it's nice being able to talk about her new relationship in public, revealing that they live together.
Explaining how their relationship developed after the show, she said, "In the girl’s lounge, everyone talks about their connections. Jake’s name was out there [while] Freddie’s was not. I only had a true connection with Freddie, like, I only wanted him. To me, I wouldn’t change that because I wouldn’t be with Jake if that didn’t happen.” I guess everything happens for a reason!"
