One month on, here’s all the post show Love Is Blind UK drama you absolutely need to know
So much has happened
I can’t believe it’s been a whole month since the Love Is Blind UK reunion episode aired. And whilst the show itself was filmed over a year ago, there’s been an insane amount of post-show drama that’s taken place between the cast.
So, from messy splits to potential new romances, let’s have a look at the juiciest drama that’s happened since the reunion aired that you simply need to know.
Kieran revealed he was supposed to be a bombshell on Love Island
Basically, he was relatively newly single when he went on a first date with someone who told him he’d be “really good on Love Island.”
The comment inspired him, which led to Kieran going home from that date and applying for Love Island that exact night, after a few drinks, as she had “planted a seed in his head,” as revealed on the We Need To Talk podcast.
He revealed: “I was in casting for Love Island for eight months or something ridiculous, and they cast me and I signed a contract with ITV. Now, my mum was horrified, she was like, ‘This is not a show for you, Kieran, like, that’s not you.’”
“A lot of my family shared the same sentiment, a lot of my friends thought it was hilarious and were like, ‘Yeah, you should definitely do that. That’s funny.’ So anyway, I was cast on Love Island as a bombshell – never got on the show,” Kieran added.
He explained how he “never actually got dropped into the villa” and “never even got out to the holding bit as they must have loads of us in this holding section.” Kieran said they’d ring him every three days to ask who he was interested in on the show.
Javen awfully admitted he didn’t pursue Aanu in the pods because he assumed she was overweight
Whilst appearing on the Tea Time podcast with Will Njobvu, Javen told Aanu that the reason why he didn’t talk with her more is because he thought she was overweight.
The podcast host asked Javen why he didn’t try anything with Aanu in the Love Is Blind UK pods, with him responding: “Aanu. I thought she was overweight I can’t lie. I’m just being honest.”
Bear in mind this is all taking place whilst Aanu is literally sat next to him. The host interjected, saying that “overweight women are beautiful too” with Javen responding, saying “they are beautiful for a certain other type of men. Everyone has their preferences.”
He admitted that he just felt like she was overweight when he walked out into the lounge after talking to her, and after being pressed for an answer concluded that he thinks her voice made her sound overweight. Yikes.
Sarover was on track to get engaged to someone else in the pods
At the start of the month, Kal revealed on a podcast that Sarover almost got engaged to another man in the Love Is Blind UK pods, but said he wouldn’t reveal who it was out of respect.
Well, that man has now come forward and identified himself, as well as telling his side of what happened between himself and Sarover.
Love Is Blind UK cast member Ross revealed that the connection and love triangle between him, Sarover and Kal was entirely axed from the show.
He explained all in a juicy TikTok video, admitting that he wanted to propose to Sarover and as far as he was concerned they were “each other’s first choices.”
However, as we know it didn’t end up working out, with Ross admitting he felt “confused” as to why she ended up with Kal.
Sophie went on a secret date with Freddie after the Love Is Blind UK reunion episode was filmed
She revealed all on the Reality Receipts podcast, when one of the hosts revealed: “A little birdy told me that you and Freddie might have had dinner with Freddie after the reunion.”
Sophie responded: “I’m obsessed with Freddie. I thought we were being really secretive.”
She continued: “Yeah, we happened to be in the same hotel post reunion, and he’s such a darling angel that he watched me be very visibly upset and he messaged me on Instagram just to say, ‘Hey Soph, are you okay?’
“And I was like, ‘Yeah I’m just leaving the studio.’ And he was like, ‘Oh I think we’re at the same hotel.’ So I said, ‘Okay, I’ll be there in a bit.’
reddie then asked Sophie whether she’d eaten after the Love Is Blind UK reunion, with her saying that she hadn’t as she’d been filming. He then told her which table he was sitting at, and that she should “come see him.”
The two then got dinner together and played table football together until “one in the morning.” However, Sophie clarified that it was just “lighthearted” adding that “Freddie is exactly what I needed when I got back from the reunion.
“Because the reunion was heavy, I’m sure you can see that. He is very single and I am very single, and it was just Freddie being the beautiful soul that he is.”
Sarover claimed Billy was talking about Ashleigh behind her back
Apparently, Billy complained about Ashleigh’s job to Sarover, and she said on the official Love Is Blind UK podcast: “He’d been on a business class flight to Miami, you know, he wasn’t complaining about my job [as a cabin crew manager] then.”
Sarover said, “He actually came to mine at Christmas after their car journey and said to me, ‘Do you know what, being a husband is too much. Like, this is, this is all a lot.’ And I was sat there, ‘What’s a lot?’ It had been two months! Where were the arguments about bins?”
Jed and Bardha moved in together after the show but their relationship still didn’t work
Per Netflix’s Tudum, although they didn’t get engaged, the couple moved in together, and Bardha continued wearing her ring. But, it was actually this romantic gesture that ended up being “the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
Jed apparently, “asked her to conceal her ring while they were at the gym surrounded by people he knew (including his ex).”
Naturally, poor Bardha was less than impressed by the whole thing. She ended up taking her ring off a few days later. Her move of taking off the ring reportedly “upset Jed,” and then they agreed to call it quits after that.
Sarover revealed she’s had to block Kal as things were getting ‘too toxic’
Sarover and Kal can formally file for divorce at the start of October, but as for where the two stand now, Sarover admitted she’s had to block him, saying: “I’ve actually had to block him on socials now because it’s toxic and that chapter’s closed.
“I I have to accept that too. So for both of us to accept that, let’s each other live our own lives now and be respectful of that.”
