Bobby and Jasmine from Love is Blind UK appeared on the Reality with Will Njobvu podcast on August 29, 2024. The two discussed how tough it was to keep their relationship under wraps after the filming of the show was done, nearly a year ago.
Bobby and Jasmine connected when they spent time together in the pods and were one of the couples to get married on the first season of Love is Blind UK. While the two did say that the year after the show was the best one of their lives, Bobby did add that there weren't too many people they could talk to about their relationship.
"It's really difficult, because of course you have your family and friends there at the wedding, they're the ones who know. But outside of that, you know, not really many people you can talk to it about," the Love is Blind UK cast member said.

The dating reality show Love is Blind UK is the British version of the American show of the same name, which began airing on Netflix in 2020. With its first season being released on August 7, 2024. It saw single contestants developing emotional bonds without seeing their potential partner's faces.
The social experiment aimed to see if people could fall in love sight unseen simply based on their deep and meaningful conversations. The participants chat with each other in pods and only get to see each other after they have decided to get married.
They are then sent on a honeymoon to test their physical chemistry and also get to meet the other couples who got engaged. The couples are set to be married four weeks after they return from their honeymoon. During these four weeks, they live together and meet each other's friends and families, before eventually deciding if they want to get married.
Bobby and Jasmine’s Journey on Love is Blind UK
Bobby and Jasmine were one of the outstanding couples on the first season of Love is Blind UK. Their connection was immediate, and they became strong friends early on during their time in the pods. However, their friendship was tested when another cast member, Sam, became embroiled in a brief love triangle, adding drama to their journey.
As the season progressed, Jasmine and Bobby's friendship strengthened and their relationship grew, eventually leading them to get married. Despite Jasmine's mother's misgivings about Bobby's capacity to provide and her fears that Jasmine would care more for him than he did for her, the couple stayed committed.
On their wedding day, Bobby firmly said, "I do," and Jasmine followed suit, expressing her joy with the decision and respect for her mother's opinion.
"I respect my mom. I respect her opinion. As much as I love her, ultimately it's my decision to make and I'm really happy," Jasmine said.
After the wedding, Jasmine reflected on her experience, saying that love was "bl**dy blind," adding that she fell in love "purely on the conversations" she had with Bobby. She noted that it was a "forever type of love," and one that would stay until they were a "gray type of love."
Keeping their relationship under wraps
After Love is Blind UK ended and before the reunion aired, Bobby and Jasmine had a unique challenge: keeping their relationship a secret. This period, which lasted about a year, proved to be one of the most difficult parts of their journey.
During their appearance on the Reality with Will Njobvu podcast, the Love is Blind UK couple spoke about their experience after the show. Bobby revealed how the couple faced certain challenges while concealing their relationship from the public.
"That’s been the hardest thing, sitting on it and keeping it quiet. You know, keeping it a secret, that’s been the hardest thing,” shared Bobby.
Jasmine agreed with her husband, noting that keeping it a secret was especially tough for her due to her generally extroverted disposition. Adding how tough it was to keep such a significant portion of her life private, she admitted that she had a "big a** mouth."
However, the couple could speak about their relationship after the show aired and even when they appeared on the reunion segment, which was aired on August 26, 2024.
All episodes of Love is Blind UK are available for streaming on Netflix, along with other seasons and iterations of the show.
