Not ready for your nightly fix of wedded bliss to end with Married At First Sight UK coming to an end? Netflix has you covered with a new series of Love Is Blind.
The hit show sees a group of singletons take to the famous pods in the hope of building a connection with a stranger, without ever seeing their physical appearance.
By the end, some decide they’ve met their soulmate – and pop the question before knowing what they look like.
We then follow the couples that emerge from the experiment, as they try to turn their pod-based romances into ones ready for the real world.
Two series of the show have passed with some couples still going strong once the honeymoon period is over.

During series one, Diamond Jack and Carlton Morton got off to a rocky start after Carlton admitted he was bisexual.
Despite an explosive fight during their time in Mexico, the couple did get engaged while onscreen.
However, they have since split and no longer keep in touch despite a touching reconciliation during the first reunion show.
Giannina Gibelli and Damian Powers also got engaged during their time on the show, though Damian turned his bride down at the altar.
After the show they decided to give their relationship another shot, dating until 2021 when they announced their breakup.
Jessica Batten and Mark Cuevas also made it all the way to their wedding ceremony before Jessica eventually turned her beau down and the pair went their separate ways.

Despite saying they were going to get married, reportedly series one couple Kelly Chase and Kenny Barnes never had any intentions of tying the knot.
Speaking to People, Kelly said: ‘I thought that we were going to continue dating because that was communicated between us, and then it was our last filming day, and he had a conversation with me like, “Hey, I think I am not emotionally available right now. I need to take some time apart from you.”
‘I felt very rejected, like, “That wasn’t the plan. What the heck?”‘
Series two stars Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee and Deepti Vempati decided to tie the knot despite a tumultuous coupling, though their romance did not last.
Deepti went on to date fellow Love Is Blind co-star Kyle Abrams, though they announced their split last month following the series two reunion show.
Fellow series two couple Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson seemed to have an instant connection, tying the knot in the finale.

However, Danielle has since filed for divorce according to TMZ.
Jarrette Jones and Iyanna McNeely are another couple from series two who have gone on to divorce after saying ‘I do’ on screen.
Despite Iyanna being Jarrette’s second choice on the show, the pair seemed to go from strength to strength until their wedding day during the finale.
However, in August 2022 the couple released a joint statement confirming they were going through the divorce process.
Shayne Jansen and Natalie Lee shocked viewers with an explosive argument the night before their wedding, though they decided to go ahead with the ceremony regardless with Natalie turning her fiance down at the altar.
The pair dated for a time after the show ended, though eventually split up with Natalie since linked to Bachelorette star Blake Moynes.

Salvador Perez and Mallory Zapata were another series two couple to get engaged, though ultimately they did not get hitched with Mallory saying she wasn’t sure she was attracted to Sal when they eventually met.
Though they seemed to have nothing in common, Kyle Abrams and Shaina Hurley ultimately decided to get married after getting to know each other.
However, Shaina decided to end the relationship by episode six of the series despite Kyle wanting to give things a go.
How many Love Is Blind couples are still together?
Despite the show championing true love, only two couples so far have gone the distance.
Here are the couples still together once the cameras stop rolling…
Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton
Lauren and Cameron seemed to hit it off from the get-go giving viewers some of the most heart-melting moments of the show including their emotional wedding vows.
Since appearing on the first series of the show, the couple have remained together with the pair hosting their own YouTube show, Hangin’ With The Hamiltons.
The pair will celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary this year, with Lauren taking to social media to speak about the hurdles the pair have overcome in their marriage.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘I can’t believe we are approaching 4 years of marriage this fall!!! 😳💖 wow! Time flies! 🔐👩🏾❤️👨🏻
Marriage is hard. It requires willingness and work. An unselfish version of yourself that prioritizes partnership. It can be tough enough behind closed doors… let alone a very public relationship that comes with public opinions.
‘Although things aren’t always butterflies and sunshine ALL the time… there have been many-a-times when you were my light in darkness! 💖 Love u Mr. Hamilton!’
Amber Pike and Matt Barnett
Despite having doubts on their wedding day, Amber and Matt both said ‘I do’.
And since then, the couple has gone from strength to strength since their appearance in series one of the show.
Amber posted a touching tribute to her beau last month on Instagram with a series of loved up snaps of the pair.
‘Not just a good vibe, the best vibes🖤✨,’ she wrote on her official page.
‘When it comes to relationships, you can check all the boxes you want but nothing tops finding someone you have chemistry with and that matches your energy.
‘Remember when you’re looking for your other half and checking off boxes to keep your eye open for those intangible and undefinable qualities that will keep the magic in your life.’
Matt has also shared the love for his spouse, posting a pic of the pair cuddled up with the caption: ‘Sometimes you just need to stop, take a deep breath and realize how lucky you are.’
The third series of Love Is Blind comes to Netflix on Wednesday, October 19.
