When the Love Is Blind: UK Season 3 reunion landed on Netflix, it delivered an outcome almost unheard of in the history of reality dating television: all four couples who said “I do” at the altar are still happily married nearly a year later.
That alone makes Season 3 a record-breaker. But the real story goes even deeper. Behind the scenes, a staggering 14 couples actually got engaged in the pods—meaning eight proposals were entirely cut from the broadcast. Among those unseen journeys, one additional couple is still engaged today, bringing the true success count of Season 3 up to five surviving pairs.
Whether you want the latest on Ciara and Ajay’s life after the online backlash, the truth behind Faye and Jack’s turnaround, or the details on the secret couple Netflix never showed you, here is the complete, verified relationship status of the entire Love Is Blind: UK Season 3 cast.

The 4 Married Couples: Where Are They Nearly a Year Later?
💍 The Marriage Success Tracker (4/4 Retained)
- Sophie & Taylor ➔ Still Married (Settled in the South of England)
- Ciara & Ajay ➔ Still Married (Based in London after 6 months in Melbourne)
- Faye & Jack ➔ Still Married (Living together in Guernsey)
- Francesca & Joseph ➔ Still Married (Planning two cultural/religious weddings)
1. Sophie and Taylor: Solid, Smitten, and Settling Down
Sophie and Taylor were widely considered the season’s most grounded pairing, and their transition into normal life has proved just as steady.
After Sophie faced redundancy shortly after filming, the couple reassessed their original plan to relocate to Manchester. Instead, they moved south to be closer to Taylor’s family. Sophie’s father—who openly voiced reservations during the experiment and on the wedding day—has since welcomed Taylor with open arms.
Today, the pair are actively house hunting and discussing starting a family in the near future.
2. Ciara and Ajay: Defying the Edit and Expanding Celebrations
Ciara Murphy entered the pods as one of the most talked-about personalities of the season, largely due to frank discussions about financial expectations and lifestyle preferences. However, the post-reunion reality tells a very different story from her on-screen edit.
Following their wedding, the couple relocated to Melbourne, Australia, for six months for Ajay’s work. Far from the “high-maintenance” label given to her on social media, Ajay openly praised Ciara at the reunion for adapting effortlessly to their temporary life abroad:
“Online there’s this perception that Ciara might be high maintenance… But going to Australia, Ciara took it all in stride. We literally lived, worked there, and she took every challenge in stride. She’s been so low-key, she takes such good care of me, and I do the same for her.”
Currently living together in Ciara’s London flat, the couple is actively planning a large, traditional Indian wedding celebration to honor Ajay’s family heritage.
3. Faye and Jack: The Season’s Biggest Turnaround
Of all four marriages, Faye and Jack entered the reunion with the most question marks hanging over them. Viewers will remember the turbulence leading up to their wedding: the “Find My Friends” tracking situation, Jack disappearing for hours without contact after Faye’s birthday, and his eleventh-hour arrival at the altar.
Almost a year on, the dynamic between them is night and day. The couple spent substantial time traveling through Thailand and the Maldives before settling in Guernsey, where they currently live with Faye’s parents.
Faye explained that gaining a deeper understanding of Jack’s ADHD helped them navigate space and communication much more effectively. Jack, meanwhile, owned up to his early mistakes, earning the full forgiveness and respect of Faye’s family.
4. Francesca and Joseph: Unwavering and Planning Double Ceremonies
Francesca and Joseph’s pod connection was among the strongest from day one, with the only lingering obstacle being whether Francesca’s family would give their blessing. Once Joseph sat down with her mother before the wedding, any remaining doubt vanished.
Nearly a year into married life, the couple spends consistent time with both sides of their families. To fully honor their individual roots and faiths, they are currently preparing for two major celebrations: a Catholic church wedding and a traditional Nigerian ceremony.
The Secret 5th Couple: The Unaired Engagement That Survived
One of the most surprising revelations to come out of Season 3 is that 14 couples actually got engaged in the pods. With production only able to follow six stories through to the resort and apartment stages, eight engaged pairs were cut from the final television edit.
📊 The Pod Engagement Breakdown
- 14 Proposals Total ➔ 28 of the 30 cast members left the pods engaged.
- 6 Main Cast Couples ➔ Followed on-screen (4 Marriages, 2 Pre-Altar Splits).
- 8 Unaired Couples ➔ 7 parted ways within days; 1 couple (Sammy & Jonathan) remains together today.
Sammy Harper and Jonathan Harrold
Well-being coach Sammy Harper (31) and tech recruiter Jonathan Harrold (32) got engaged sight unseen after a deeply moving pod connection. Prior to proposing, Jonathan wrote and read a heartfelt letter addressed to Sammy’s late father, asking for his blessing—a moment both described as emotionally overwhelming.
Since leaving the pods nearly a year ago without cameras tracking their every move, the two have built a quiet, resilient life together. They adopted a puppy named Poddy, navigated the heartbreak of an early pregnancy loss, and remain happily engaged today.
Speaking on The Sun’s Showbiz Fix podcast, Jonathan reflected on why the other seven unaired couples faded so quickly:
“Out of the eight that left, me and Sammy are the ones remaining… amongst them I saw some beautiful couples, but it is such a whirlwind. I can understand why people went, ‘This is too much. Who are you? What is going on?'”
What Happened to the Couples Who Didn’t Make It?
Not every pod romance survived the transition to reality. Two featured couples called time on their relationships prior to the altar, and both offered honest updates during the reunion.
💔 Status: The Split Couples
- Ryan & Cuba | Status: Single & Amicable | Both found closure post-split; Ryan remains happily single, while Cuba is taking time to heal.
- Yasmin & Jordan | Status: Close Friends | Mutual realization that romantic spark was missing; now speak daily as best friends.
Cuba and Ryan: Mutual Closure After Emotional Distance
Cuba and Ryan’s journey unraveled during the apartment phase, where Ryan’s demanding work travel left Cuba feeling isolated and questioning his commitment. The tension culminated in the infamous scene where Ryan quietly prepared a mango while their relationship reached a breaking point.
At the reunion, Cuba admitted to feeling deeply lonely toward the end of the experiment, while Ryan reiterated that the connection simply was not the right fit. The two parted on civil terms: Ryan confirmed he is contentedly single, while Cuba shared that she has healed and remains open to finding love on her own terms.
Yasmin and Jordan: From Pod Partners to Daily Best Friends
Yasmin and Jordan’s breakup before the weddings lacked explosive drama; instead, Jordan realized that their initial pod spark never evolved into the romantic chemistry necessary for marriage.
Rather than drifting apart, the two forged a genuine, platonic bond. Jordan confirmed that Yasmin remains one of his best friends and that they still speak daily. Yasmin has since focused on traveling, learning to DJ, and continuing her Arabic language studies, with Jordan cheering her on from the sidelines.
The Reunion Drama: What You Didn’t See
While the Season 3 reunion was remarkably cordial compared to previous iterations, a few unresolved tensions were aired out:
- The Ciara vs. Jack Pod Conversation: Hosts Emma and Matt Willis revisited the early friction between Jack and Ciara, specifically Jack’s claim that Ciara had told him he was her “number one” in the pods. Both stood by their respective versions of events, but the interaction remained composed rather than argumentative, with Ajay stepping in to ensure the focus remained on their present happiness.
- Chevanique and Joseph: Chevanique addressed her early connection and disagreement with Joseph before the weddings, officially putting the matter to bed and wishing Francesca and Joseph the best.
- Alumni in the Audience: The reunion also checked in with familiar faces from earlier seasons. Season 1’s Bobby and Jasmine attended shortly after welcoming their first child, while Season 2’s Kieran and Megan appeared after celebrating their second formal wedding ceremony.
Final Takeaway: A Historic Season for the UK Franchise
Love Is Blind: UK Season 3 officially holds the highest success rate in the entire franchise. With a 100% marriage retention rate among the final four couples—plus the enduring unaired engagement of Sammy and Jonathan—the UK edition has proven that the pod experiment can, against the odds, translate into long-term partnership.
Love Is Blind: UK is currently available to stream in full on Netflix.
