Catherine (Cat) Richards and Freddie Powell were among the first couples on Love Is Blind UK to express their feelings and take the next step in their relationship, but they don’t seem to be together now.
The pair met in the pods and hit things off instantly, but Cat had a connection with another contestant, Ollie, at the time, who went on to propose to Demi Brown after forming a solid bond.
Moreover, Cat was handling her move to Freddie as he got down on his knees in the pods and asked for her hand, to which she said yes.
After the romantic gesture, the contestant expressed happiness, saying, “Freddie has lived up to my expectations and more. He’s just the best, I feel so lucky.“
However, the feelings don’t remain the same for a long time, as the previews for the next batch of episodes clearly show the relationship hitting a rocky road as Cat is growing annoyed with Freddie after he wanted to sign a prenup before their marriage.
Despite following each other on Instagram, the engagement ring seems missing from Cat’s recent posts, raising eyebrows among netizens as they want the pair’s details.
With only four episodes of The Love is Blind UK available for Netflix streaming, viewers must wait to find out if the pair can overcome their issues.
Bring out the DNA tests, as Cat and Freddie might just be long-lost cousins!
The couple Cat and Freddie initially bonded over their shared love for the gym, but they could not meet before private pods due to a move designed to encourage deeper connections between the contestants.
Later, in their first meeting, Cat and Freddie realize they share several similarities, including their families.
Additionally, Cat revealed that her middle name was Mary, a name her parents gave her after her grandmother. However, the issue arose when Freddie replied that his grandmother’s name was the same.
The plot thickened as she said her granddad was named Bill. To the viewer’s surprise, Freddie said, “Stop it. I don’t believe you. Do you know what my grandad was called? Bill.“
Soon, many urged the contestant to take a DNA test, claiming the pair could be long-lost cousins. However, the show later confirmed it was a coincidence, relieving fans.
After getting past the whole cousin situation, the couple continued to share many things; Cat revealed her family adopted her, while Freddie opened up about his life with a sibling with Down’s syndrome.
Regardless, the current status of their relationship is unknown, with the most probable case of them being separated, as Cat shared through her recent Instagram story, “This show was filmed over a year ago and TV is edited and a lot happened that viewers do not see!“
