Catherine Richards has opened her eyes to a new love . The Love Is Blind UK star—who was left at the altar by fiancé Freddie Powell on their wedding day—revealed that she struck up a romance with another man from the pods after filming wrapped in September 2023. "I'm really happy.

I've done a lot of reflecting," Cat told On Demand Entertainment in an interview published Aug. 27. "My life has changed.

I'm so grateful. I'm in an amazing relationship and I wouldn't be in that relationship if it wasn't for this show. So, I just have to think of the positives and the great stuff from it.

" So, who caught her eye? Jake Singleton-Hill , a 32-year-old civil engineer who didn't get much screen time. "I didn't even date him in the pods," Cat revealed. "I actually rejected him on day one, because he shared a dog with his ex.

" As the dental nurse quipped, "We're very critical in the moment." But now, Cat and Jake live together, with her adding, "The dog lives with us now, it's all great!" In fact, as Netflix teased when introducing the cast, Jake would already be married with kids by now if he had his way. "Among his friends, he has a reputation for falling in love quickly and being 'a bit of a melt' in past relationships," Netflix stated in a teaser.

"He’s never been more motivated to find his perfect match in the pods. And if any of the women can match his patient and sensitive nature, there’s no stopping Jake from walking away from the experiment with his forever partner." As.
