Between uplifting love stories, constant inter-pod gossip, and one gutting goodbye, there\u2019s never a dull moment in Love Is Blind: UK<\/a> Season 3<\/a> \u2014 no boring dates here, right, Ciara?\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far this season, 30 single men and women<\/a> from across the United Kingdom have made their way through countless pod dates in hopes of falling in love sight unseen. By the time the pods closed, six engaged couples emerged, ready to see if their emotional connections were strong enough to withstand everyday stressors like differing daily routines, location sharing, and family opinions. Will they make it down the aisle or walk away at the altar? Or will the experiment end in happily ever after?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead of the final episodes, which drop on Wednesday, Aug. 26, let\u2019s recap and unravel the romantic entanglements that have formed so far in Love Is Blind: UK Season 3 \u2014 and see where each couple stands heading into the final episodes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"CoupleSophie and Taylor<\/p>\n

STATUS: STILL TOGETHER<\/p>\n

From her first pod date with Taylor, Sophie is cooked \u2014 and not just because he\u2019s an amazing chef, and she usually lives off jacket potatoes. Their flirty spark begins to burn even brighter when Taylor opens up about losing his mom, and on their next date, they begin planning their future together. Taylor gives Sophie a necklace bearing his mother\u2019s fingerprint, and she, in turn, gifts him a pendant that her mom had made for her. After exchanging jewelry, the two also share \u201cI love yous\u201d and become the first couple to get engaged. When they finally meet, there\u2019s plenty of heat \u2014 Taylor calls Sophie \u201cthe best looking bird ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

On their first holiday in Ibiza, Spain, it\u2019s nothing but sunny skies for Taylor and Sophie. Their physical chemistry has them both buzzing, though she isn\u2019t thrilled that he has another woman\u2019s name tattooed on his bum. When they move in together, he\u2019s receptive to her house rules \u2014 make the bed, put the toilet seat down, definitely don\u2019t leave toothpaste in the sink \u2014 and each day gets better and better. Taylor and Sophie\u2019s similarities are apparent to everyone, but there\u2019s one area where they don\u2019t totally align. Hailing from different parts of England, the two still need to choose where they\u2019re going to live after getting married.<\/p>\n

As they figure that out, Sophie brings Taylor back to her home in Manchester, and he says he can envision himself moving in \u2014 even if she\u2019s not open to the idea of hanging a Chelsea jersey in her pristine place. They also travel to Hertfordshire to meet up with Taylor\u2019s family, who are very impressed by Sophie. His sister and father are a bit gutted at the possibility that he may move away, but Taylor and Sophie still haven\u2019t definitely decided where they\u2019ll settle down.<\/p>\n

\"ACiara and Ajay<\/p>\n

STATUS: STILL TOGETHER<\/p>\n

Ciara enters the pods looking for someone to invest in her \u2014 as she proudly states, a man once spent 15,000 pounds on a first date with her, so yeah, the bar is high. Luckily, Ajay, an ex-investment banker, recognizes her worth right away. While Ajay is all in, Ciara forms another connection with Jack \u2014 who\u2019s also growing close with Faye. When Ajay catches wind of this, he\u2019s confused over how Ciara could be connecting with someone so different from him. Ultimately, she realizes that Ajay is husband material, and Ciara\u2019s ready to lock in.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After Ajay opens up about losing a friend and navigating a career transition, they feel closer than ever, and at the end of Episode 3, Ajay proposes \u2014 with a diamond ring that fits Ciara\u2019s exact specifications, of course. Time together in Ibiza unfolds naturally for the newly engaged couple, but there\u2019s a bit of trouble in paradise. When Ajay tells Ciara that Jack claimed that she said Jack was her No. 1 in the pods, she\u2019s very bothered and even confronts Jack. During their conversations, Ciara is extremely offended when Jack insinuates that one of their dates was boring, and afterward, Jack clears the air with Ajay. Meanwhile, Ciara also stirs up some messiness in Francesca and Joseph\u2019s relationship by bringing up Joseph\u2019s other pod connection with Chevanique. Beyond the drama, though, Ajay and Ciara say \u201cI love you\u201d and return to the real world together.<\/p>\n

Inside their shared apartment, Ajay and Ciara adjust to one another\u2019s very different daily routines. Their relationship hits a speed bump as they get into their first big fight, which results in them sleeping separately. The argument stemmed from Ajay\u2019s parents\u2019 hesitance about being on camera, which he says Ciara didn\u2019t approach with empathy. He now worries that she still has some walls up, and concerns over her values begin echoing in his head once again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ciara recognizes that she was being unreasonable and may have actually been self-sabotaging out of fear of possibly getting hurt. When she owns up to that, the two agree to move forward and show up better for one another in the future. Soon, they do just that, with Ajay meeting her closest friends, Ciara finally getting the chance to impress his parents, and the couple celebrating a very sentimental holiday, Diwali, together.<\/p>\n

\"UnableCuba and Ryan<\/p>\n

STATUS: STILL TOGETHER<\/p>\n

Their respective spiritual journeys brought both Cuba and Ryan to the pods and to one another. There\u2019s serious depth to their chats right off the bat. The two share a passion for travel, and both value their individual relationships with the universe. Ryan shares that losing his father as a child impacted how he approaches relationships, and he appreciates the level of understanding Cuba offers. Both recognize that they\u2019re unique in very similar ways. Their lifestyles and beliefs seem to entirely align, as they discuss desires to raise free-range chickens and children in the future. The \u201csoul connection\u201d is solidified when the couple says \u201cI love you\u201d and commits to marriage. Since they already feel so seen by one another, the first reveal feels seamless.<\/p>\n

After establishing a strong spiritual connection in the pods, Cuba and Ryan explore a physical one in Ibiza. Together, they participate in some ecstatic dancing accompanied by a sound bath, and they become more in sync than ever. Soon after moving in together, Ryan\u2019s work takes him abroad, which causes some concerns that they aren\u2019t getting enough time together in the lead-up to \u201cI do.\u201d Cuba believes that a little more romance from Ryan would reassure her, but his travels leave him too drained for date nights.<\/p>\n

By Episode 7, their time apart has begun to wear on Cuba and Ryan\u2019s relationship, and the energy between them shifts. Though he\u2019s physically back from his work trips, he struggles to be truly present with and for her. She expresses that he isn\u2019t communicating in the way she needs in order to feel secure in their connection. When Ryan\u2019s grandmother gets sick, he\u2019s forced to once again step away from the experiment for a few days, setting the couple back even further. Cuba buries her emotions in order to be there for him but wonders if he\u2019ll ever be able to be selfless and fully let her in.<\/p>\n

\"AFaye and Jack<\/p>\n

STATUS: STILL TOGETHER<\/p>\n

Jack is immediately taken by the sound of Faye\u2019s voice, and she can tell he\u2019s a lot of fun. The two are able to have a \u201cproper giggle\u201d but also get serious. In addition to his cheeky chats with Faye, Jack also has a budding connection with Ciara and even tells her she\u2019s his \u201cnumber one.\u201d When Ciara starts to question if Jack is genuine, and he begins having much more fun with Faye, however, his rankings shift.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jack wants to marry his best friend, and he thinks Faye just might be best friend material, so he writes her a heartfelt note, which brings her to tears. Eventually, Jack and Ciara cut ties, but a slip-up during the conversations about his connection with Faye \u2014 yikes, he mistakenly calls her Fran \u2014 sends Ciara back to the women\u2019s quarters to report her concerns. Faye questions Jack about the potential red flags, but he assuages all her doubts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After meeting her stuffed animals and asking her to be his girlfriend, Jack proposes, and Faye says yes. In Ibiza, the Cornish menace says he\u2019s met his match, and their physical compatibility proves to be as solid as their emotional one. Despite some drama with Ciara, both Jack and Faye make a point to turn their focus back toward one another. Throughout the trip, he continues to make Faye feel like a queen, building her up with grand gestures and finally conjuring the courage to say \u201cI love you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Back in England, the couple travels to Cornwall, where Faye meets Jack\u2019s family. His mum\u2019s over the moon seeing her son so happy. A few days later, they celebrate Faye\u2019s birthday by partying with the other members of the pod squad, but the night doesn\u2019t end well. In the wee hours after the party, Faye wakes up alone in their apartment and is unable to find Jack \u2014 he won\u2019t answer her calls and is no longer sharing his location. When Faye finally does get in contact with Jack, he says he\u2019s simply gone for a walk, but he\u2019s two hours away and wearing sandals. He downplays the situation, but she\u2019s still concerned. In the midst of the debacle, Faye\u2019s parents pay them a visit, and they\u2019re a bit disappointed because of the doubts that Jack\u2019s nighttime trek raised for Faye. After many honest talks about trust, the two make up and agree to move on.<\/p>\n

\"AFrancesca and Joseph<\/p>\n

STATUS: STILL TOGETHER<\/p>\n

The only thing missing from Joseph\u2019s life is a wife, so he\u2019s excited to learn that Francesca is looking for a marriage grounded in romance and faith. Francesca shares details of her last relationship, which ended with cheating, and Joseph tells her about his difficult upbringing. He also discovers a spark with Chevanique and wonders if he could have the same sexual chemistry with Francesca, who is a bit more reserved. But as Joseph becomes more vulnerable with Francesca and lets his walls down, she gets more comfortable being flirty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As their emotional bond strengthens, Francesca encourages Joseph to see his other connections through so he\u2019s sure about his decision. However, when he goes to break things off with Chevanique, he waffles. After going back and forth, Joseph tells Francesca that he thinks he\u2019s falling in love with her and ends things with his other connection. The two get engaged, meet, and head to Ibiza.<\/p>\n

After Joseph has a conversation with Ciara that rubs her the wrong way, she spreads that he was a bit wishy-washy with Chevanique in the pods. This kicks off a game of telephone that leads to Francesca asking Joseph for clarity, and he admits he probably could have been more transparent. Later on in London, Francesca takes Joseph home to meet her parents and sister. He\u2019s eager to get their approval, but they don\u2019t give it so easily. Francesca\u2019s parents question whether they\u2019re ready for marriage, especially when the wedding is coming up so quickly. Over breakfast the next morning, Joseph says he understands that her parents\u2019 concerns come from a place of love for their daughter, and Francesca shares that seeing him withstand the pressure only made her love him more.<\/p>\n

When the pod squad reunites at Faye\u2019s birthday party, Chevanique and Joseph have a conversation, which Francesca and Ciara join. The four rehash what happened in the pods and the gossip that has gone on among the group. Joseph and Chev don\u2019t totally agree on how their second-to-last date left off. Everyone ends up feeling attacked, but Francesca backs up her fianc\u00e9e. After the fact, Francesca says she feels like a fool, and they discuss needing to be on the same page moving forward. To help shed the stress, the two enjoy a spa date, and in no time, they\u2019re back to their silly selves.<\/p>\n

\"TwoYasmin and Jordan<\/p>\n

STATUS: NOT TOGETHER<\/p>\n

The vibes between Yasmin and Jordan are impeccable from the start. The fact that she\u2019s never had a boyfriend before does give him pause, but she reassures him that she\u2019s ready to commit if their connection is maktub \u2014 the Arabic word for \u201cmeant to be.\u201d As the two grow closer, Yasmin shares that she has vitiligo, which affected her self-confidence when she was younger, and Jordan, completely unfazed, tells her she\u2019s \u201ca diamond inside and out.\u201d He also opens up about his own childhood and his time in the army and gets emotional discussing his experience serving in Afghanistan. Yasmin begins to suspect that meeting Jordan is indeed maktub, and when he proposes, she accepts.<\/p>\n

In Ibiza, both are aware that they\u2019re taking things a bit slower than the other couples \u2014 they\u2019re just not into PDA \u2014 but their time together continues to feel easy. Back in the real world, they discuss how their connection is progressing, and Yasmin says that to make it a true partnership, they should find a pace that works for both of them. However, Jordan continues to hold back, feeling that \u2014 because she\u2019s never had a boyfriend \u2014 expressing love is a big deal. In the pods and on vacation, Yasmin was blown away by how intentional Jordan was, but while living together, she feels like he isn\u2019t doing enough to show her how much she means to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two travel to Birmingham, England, to meet Jordan\u2019s family, and in an honest heart-to-heart with his dad, Jordan confides that they may need a little more \u201cfire\u201d in their relationship. The time at home also makes Jordan question if he\u2019s actually willing to move to London as he and Yasmin had previously discussed. But when she says she\u2019s willing to move instead, and he still seems unsure, she wonders if the distance is just an excuse. At the end of Episode 8, he\u2019s finally able to be honest that there are other things holding him back. Jordan says he\u2019s yet to feel a spark, and though they think the world of one another, they agree not to move forward with a wedding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
