Inside Nicole and Benaiah’s enviable life a year on from their Love is Blind wedding
The fan favourites have been living life to the fullest, as they should
Fan favourites from Love is Blind UK, Nicole and Benaiah, are living it up 15 months post-marriage.
Nicole Grunewald-Bridi, 31, met Benaiah, 34, on the first season of the show, and although their connection was clear from the start, Nicole decided to get engaged to Sam Klein.
However, soon after, Nicole realised her mistake and ended her relationship with Sam before rekindling things with and later marrying her now husband, Benaiah.
Although the show aired in 2024, the couple wed in September 2023, and have been living a married life full of bliss since then.
But, what exactly have they been up to? Let’s have a look.
They’ve travelled the world together
Nicole and Benaiah have been sharing their adventures across the world with their followers on social media.
The pair have recently been to a whole host of fabulous places, such as Abu Dhabi for the Grand Prix and Cologne for the Christmas markets.
Lucky things.
People have even told them they’re ‘shocked’ they’re still together
Despite being fan favourites on the show, Nicole and Benaiah have said people seem genuinely “shocked” they’re still together.
The pair explained they are often stopped in the street by people asking if they’re still married and said they’re often shocked when they say “yes”.
Benaiah said: “A lot of time when people stop us on the street, they will go: ‘It is so nice to see that you’re still together’.
“In my head, I am like: ‘Why wouldn’t we be? We are married,’ but people are shocked.
“Maybe there is an element of they see that world differently from real life but for us, this is real life.
“This is our real life, this is a real marriage.”
