If you're looking for a new reality TV series to binge-watch, then you're in luck as all 11 episodes of Love Is Blind UK has finally arrived to Netflix and we're already obsessed. But, we need to know, are Nicole and Benaiah still together now, following their wedding day?
The series follows British singles looking for love, and sees them date and get engaged without ever meeting the other person face-to-face. Then, the newly-engaged couples move in together, plan their wedding and find out if love really is blind.
Nicole was one of the hopeful singles entering the pods this season, and she developed connections with both Sam and Benaiah. We love a good old love triangle! So, are Nicole and Benaiah together now? Here's what we know.
What happened for Benaiah and Nicole on Love Is Blind UK?
So, to catch you up, Nicole developed connections with both Sam and Benaiah in the pods. But, it seemed that Nicole and Benaiah were more aligned on their interests and views on spirituality.
Sam was also exploring multiple connections with both Nicole and Jasmine, but Jasmine later said she wanted to focus on her connection with Bobby and those two soon got engaged. Still with us?
So, Sam focused his energy on Nicole. Meanwhile, Nicole and Benaiah were still dating, but he said he wasn't ready to propose yet, which left her feeling doubtful. Then, later, Benaiah dropped the bombshell that he thought Sam wasn't on the show for the right reasons.
But, Nicole then chose Sam anyway, and they finally met for the first time in episode four. Sparks didn't immediately fly, and later in the episode, Nicole revealed that Sam was not right for her and breaks off their engagement before they go on holiday together. The drama!
Nicole then said wanted to make things right with Benaiah, explaining, "I need to follow my heart, and there's no one else I'd want to spend my life with than Benaiah. This time, I'm really gonna open my heart, and hopefully, he'll like what I have to say."

The pair then meet for the first time in episode five, and it's clear they both want to give things a go. Benaiah proposes, and while the pair didn't head on the mini-moon retreat with their fellow participants, they later joined the group during one of their mixers.
Later, they met each other's friends and family, and while it was clear Benaiah's mum and sister were very protective of him and the fact Nicole had picked Sam originally, eventually they shared their love and support for Nicole.
Her parents, meanwhile, were apprehensive due to the fact Nicole had been married before, but also seemed to open up to the idea once they had seen her and Benaiah together.
What happened for Nicole and Benaiah on their wedding day?
Love was in the air for Nicole and Benaiah on their wedding day, with both participants saying 'I do' at the altar. "Husband and wife!" Nicole exclaimed after they tied the knot, to which Benaiah responded, "Mr and Mrs. Grunewald Brydie. It feels brilliant. It feels so right. It feels like 100% the right decision. Everything feels so at peace in my heart. Full of love. Full of happiness."
Adorable! You guys.
So, are Nicole and Benaiah together now?
Currently, they are not following each other on Instagram despite following other cast members, but this could just be because they don't want to spoil the show. Benaiah also replied to a comment on Instagram about the show saying it had been a "tough old journey", which suggests it might not be plain sailing going forward - or maybe he was referring to the Sam situation.
We know the couple do get married and say 'I do', and we know they've been filming the Love is Blind UK reunion together, while also doing press interviews as a group. But does that mean they're still together a year later?
In a comment on Instagram, a fan wrote, "Love your energy. Ben is such a wonderful partner to you ❤️" to which Nicole replied, "Awww 🥰 very sweet words. Thank you xx"
She replied to another comment which read, "Seeing you on Love is Blind is so special! You have such a sweet soul and my heart was sooo happy that you and Benaiah matched 🥰" with "Very kind of you to say. Appreciate you xx"
This all sounds positive?
The reunion episode seriously can't come soon enough!
