The popular reality series Love is Blind has a British adaptation called Love is Blind UK. To demonstrate that love may be entirely emotional and unaffected by appearance, the show pairs up 30 unmarried people who go on dates and become engaged without ever setting eyes on one another.
Couples decide whether to be married after meeting in person during their engagements. The show's first season is now complete, and all of the episodes—including the reunion special—can be seen on Netflix.
One of the season's contestants, Jake, a civil engineer from England, has lately come to light because of his connection to fellow competitor Catherine Richards.

Jake from Love is Blind UK's background
Jake Singleton-Hill is 32 years old and is based in Leicestershire, England. Professionally, he works as a civil engineer. His desire to find a meaningful connection after ending a prior relationship and coping with his mother's recent death drove him to join Love is Blind UK.
In his private life, Jake is referred to by his pals as an "agony uncle" who gives relationship and romantic counsel. When it comes to romance, he has also called himself a "soppy" guy who falls in love easily.
Relationship with Catherine Richards
In a recent podcast, Catherine shared that she and Jake are now dating. On August 24, 2024, she shared in a TikTok video interview that their relationship began when she messaged him after Love is Blind UK ended.
She noted that they have been living together for almost a year and said,
"I'm with someone now, from the pods, funnily enough. Exclusive!"
Speaking more about their relationship, Catherine said,
"At first, he was like, 'Wait, aren't you married?It was obviously what would have happened two weeks later, so I thought, "Funny story." "So, I was like, 'Well, no,' and then we FaceTimed,". "We spoke every day for five weeks after spending about five hours on FaceTime that evening." After that, I spent the weekend seeing him, and we currently share a home with the dog!"
