Love is Blind UK season 2 brought a new set of singles to the pods, looking to form emotional connections before seeing each other in person. Among them were Patrick and Aanu, who initially bonded over shared values, faith, and Nigerian heritage.
Their early conversations covered spirituality, with Patrick drawing on his Catholic upbringing and Aanu sharing her devout Christian practices, including reading the Bible, fasting, and praying regularly. They quickly became each other’s strongest connection in the pods.
However, as the experiment progressed, differences in communication styles and expectations began to surface. By the time the couples prepared to take their relationships beyond the pods, Patrick and Aanu’s journey had taken a different turn from some of their co-stars. Unlike other pairs who advanced toward engagements, their relationship came to an end before leaving the experiment.
Everything we know about Patrick and Aanu from Love is Blind UK: Why didn't their relationship work?
When Patrick and Aanu first met in the Love is Blind UK pods, Aanu admitted she had never heard of “human design,” a concept Patrick followed, but they found common ground in their shared spirituality. Patrick valued his Catholic upbringing, and Aanu’s Christian faith resonated with him.
Their Nigerian backgrounds added to their sense of connection, and Patrick expressed that he felt challenged by Aanu, while she felt safe with him. This mutual appreciation led to them becoming each other’s number one choice in the pods.
Several dates later, however, their connection began to stall. Aanu became uncomfortable when Patrick asked her to sing, and her hesitation, along with seeking her mother’s approval instead of relying on her own intuition, caused Patrick to feel disconnected. He described his internal “spleen," his decision-making guide, as going “silent.”
In an effort to move forward, Patrick arranged a spa date and told Aanu he didn’t want to see anyone else. But they still struggled to align their energy and expectations. Patrick feared she was holding back, while Aanu remained unsure about their dynamic.
Wanting to demonstrate openness, Aanu wrote Patrick a song and planned to perform it in the pods. Patrick appreciated the gesture but ultimately decided to end the relationship before leaving the experiment.
“I didn’t think this would be the outcome,” Aanu said. “It is heartbreaking.”
Other couples that were able to carry on their relationship
While Patrick and Aanu’s time on Love is Blind UK season 2 ended early, several other couples managed to move forward together. Billy and Ashleigh formed a quick connection over their shared military backgrounds, with Ashleigh working as cabin crew and Billy serving in the Physical Training Corps.
After addressing concerns about her travel schedule, Ashleigh agreed to consider a ground-based job, leading Billy to propose. They became the first engaged couple of the season and strengthened their bond during a trip to Cyprus.
Kal and Sarover connected in the pods through open conversations about family and cultural heritage. Kal, half Pakistani, worried about acceptance from Sarover’s Indian family, but she reassured him.
Kal proposed while wearing traditional South Asian attire, and they exchanged “I love yous” upon meeting. In Cyprus, Sarover expressed insecurity after learning she wasn’t his usual type, but they remained committed.
Kieran and Megan shared an immediate attraction in Love is Blind UK, bonding over dancing and family aspirations. Kieran also explored a connection with Sophie, but after tensions arose, he chose to continue exclusively with Megan. He proposed in the pods, and they met for the first time with mutual excitement, continuing to grow closer during their trip.
Jed and Bardha’s relationship in Love is Blind UK developed over shared family values and cultural backgrounds: he is Lebanese, and she is Albanian. Bardha’s openness about her family’s move to the UK during the Kosovo war deepened their bond. They discussed future plans, including children, and Jed proposed. Meeting face-to-face only solidified their connection.
Javen and Katisha faced a more complicated path in Love is Blind UK. Katisha was also exploring a relationship with Demola, but after Javen presented her with flowers and shared his feelings, she chose him instead.
She even offered to propose, prompting him to officially ask her to marry him. They left the pods together, though in Cyprus, other contestants questioned the strength of their relationship.
