Take a look at which couples from Love Is Blind: UK series 2 are still together:
Kieran and Megan: MARRIED
Gaming entrepreneur Kieran had two strong connections in the pods, with both Megan and Sophie, but it was clear after a while the stronger connection was with Megan. After enjoying some flirty chats with Megan, the pair started to open up on a more emotional level, resulting in Megan telling Kieran a personal story about her dad. After gifting Megan a good luck charm he bought whilst travelling around Japan, the pair's relationship grew stronger, even more so when Kieran reassured her that he only wanted her. Kieran then got down on one knee to propose to Megan and the pair seemed very happy with one another on the first reveal.
After enjoying the retreat in Cyprus, Kieran and Megan's relationship went from strength to strength when they moved in to an apartment together in Manchester, and things continued to go well when they met each other's family and friends. During a night out with the rest of the pod squad, Kieran came face-to-face with Sophie, but after a chat which was approved by Megan, the pair cleared the air.

He wrote: 'Happy anniversary @meganjupp! 1 year of Keg and what a year it has been, I've loved it and I love you so much. I wake up everyday feeling so lucky that I have someone who is so supportive, so smart, so fun and I get to call you my wife. Whilst our life has changed a bit recently, I know we never will biscuit.

Kal and Sarover: SPLIT
Conversations between Kal and Sarover were deep and meaningful from the start, with Kal emotionally opening up about almost losing two of his brothers. After discovering Sarover's Indian heritage, Kal was worried that being half-Pakistani could cause issues with Sarover's family, due to the history of conflict between the two countries. However, when Sarover was quick to reassure him that her family are keen for her to explore whatever she wants, Kal got down on one knee to propose. The pair were smitten when they met in person, telling each other they loved one another.
During their holiday in Cyrus, the first cracks started to show when Kal confessed his usual type is blondes, leaving Sarover feeling insecure.
However, on return to the UK, Kal and Sarover's feelings for each other grew stronger, with Kal confessing to his family that although she's not his usual type, he's happy he's found an emotional connection.

Jed and Bardha: SPLIT
Bonding over their love of children and desire to have a family, Jed and Bardha had an instant spark whilst getting to know each other in the pods. After admitting she felt comfortable with Jed, Bardha, who was born in Kosovo, emotionally opened up about having to flea to the UK at a young age, revealing the traumatic experience has made her value the meaning of family. Conversations in the pod quickly turned to the future, with Jed and Bardha discussing baby names, before admitting they are falling for each other. Jed proceeds to propose to Bardha and the pair were smitten when meeting for the first time.
Whilst in Cyrus to get to know each other further, the couple's connection grew even strong, with the pair both saying the 'L word', with Bardha admitting she thinks Jed will fit into her family very well.
On return to the UK, things continued to go well for Jed and Bardha, with both of their families accepting the relationship, despite a few concerns that they'd not yet had an argument.

After spending time apart in the lead-up to the wedding, Jed and Bardha had a number of arguments, but they both seemed in a good place on the wedding day. Despite saying some lovely vows to one another, Bardha chose to not go through with the marriage, telling Jed she thinks there's more they need to learn about each other before they tie the knot, admitting the recent arguments put her in a 'weird state of mind'. She did however state she doesn't want it to be the end of the relationship, telling Jed she loves him. Jed later told producers he respects her decision but it will take him a few days to think about things. We will have to wait until the reunion show to find out how Jed and Bardha's story ends.
Are Jed and Bardha still together?
No! Despite not going ahead with the wedding, Jed and Bardha did vow to make things work outside of the experiment, but during the reunion show they revealed they are no longer together, with Bardha now living in Dubai.
Billy and Ashleigh: SPLIT
Ashleigh works as Cabin Crew, she reassured him that she was open to a different career, and from that moment everything looked rosy for the pair! After saying the 'L word' to each other, Billy proposed to Ashleigh in the pods, before the couple met for the first time.
Their connection grew even stronger whilst on holiday in Cyprus, with the pair unable to keep their hands off one another.
On return to the UK, Billy and Ashleigh moved into their apartment together in Manchester whilst they planned their wedding, and despite a disagreement over the food shop, things seemed to be going well - especially when Billy met Ashleigh's dad and she gave the pair his blessing for the marriage. However, when speaking to his sister, Billy confessed his constant concerns about Ashleigh being away with work a lot, something he later communicated with her.

Javen and Katisha: SPLIT
Despite admitting she's scared to open up due to trauma from a past relationship, Katisha found a strong connection with Javen in the pods, with the pair having a big family in common. The two have the same desires to have two-three children, with Katisha drawn to Javen's honesty and kind spirit. However, as well as Javen, Katisha also had a connection with Demola and when Javen didn't give her any reassurance, it looked like she was going to end up with Demola, when he told her she 'deserved the world'. In another twist, when Katisha headed into another pod date with Javen to tell him she was going to choose Demola, he finally opened up about his true feelings, resulting in Katisha to go back on her promise to Demola.
With a big decision to make, Katisha chose Javen and revealed she would propose to him in order to reassure him things with Demola were over. After Javen proposed, the pair met in person and jetted off to Cyprus, but interference from the rest of the cast could cause issues for the pair.
On return to the UK, Javen and Katisha moved into an apartment together in Manchester and it didn't take long for Demola to be mentioned again. Katisha decided to meet Demola for a chat to put the record straight and apologise to him for her actions in the pod, something Javen approved. However, things took a sour turn for the pair when Javen chose to go out after the pod squad party, despite having plans to meet Katisha's family the next day. Katisha was then informed by co-star Megan than Javen was surrounding himself with other girls out of the pod squad during the night out, and even went in the photobooth for a chat with Sophie.
Despite denying the accusations, Katisha chose to pack her bags and leave the apartment she was sharing with Javen. Clearly fuming, Javen approached Megan and Kieran for a chat about the accusations, which resulted in a heated disagreement between them.
