Sammy Harper and Jonathan Harrold’s Love Is Blind: UK season 3 romance was left on the cutting room floor — but that didn’t stop the pair from giving fans a candid update on their lives.
“The year no one saw. We got engaged on Love Is Blind, but our journey didn’t make it onto your screens,” Sammy, 33, wrote via Instagram on Friday, August 28. “Twelve months, approximately 847 lies about how we met and apparently we forgot to break up 😂. Anyway … hi from your unseen couple of Love Is Blind UK S3. Surprise x 💍.”
Sammy and Jonathan, 32, were among the contestants on the third season of Love Is Blind: UK, where they found a romantic connection sight unseen. The pair’s engagement — Sammy only met Jonathan in person after accepting his proposal — was not chronicled on the hit reality TV dating experiment.
In an Instagram timeline of their love story, Sammy revealed on Friday that she and Jonathan were left to figure out their future without cameras around. They first met in September 2025, soon navigating a long-distance relationship while “living [on] opposite sides of the country.”
By February, Sammy revealed that “s*** got serious” with her pod fiancé.
“We got Poddy, our Love Is Blind puppy, because apparently getting engaged after two weeks wasn’t enough commitment,” she wrote. “Our little family officially began. … This started to feel like real life. Somewhere along the way, we stopped feeling like two people who met on Love Is Blind. Suddenly, it was less ‘experiment’ and more ‘whose turn is it to pick up the dog s***.’ Turns out, we quite liked our very un-TV-worthy little life.”
Sammy found out in April, on Jonathan’s birthday to be exact, that she was pregnant. She suffered a pregnancy loss two months later.
“We lost our baby to a silent miscarriage, and honestly, we really struggled,” Sammy recalled of her experience. “Grieving whilst still living [on] opposite sides of the country was one of the hardest things we’ve had to face together.”
According to Sammy, July became their “bounce back” era as she underwent a breast augmentation while Jonathan had a hair transplant.
“A few really tough weeks prior, but slowly we started to feel like ourselves again,” she said. “It brought us closer than ever. Still randomly tearing up over the future we’d got so excited for, but finding our way forward together.”
Love Is Blind: UK season 3 featured — spoiler alert — four weddings and two pre-altar breakups between the other reality TV couples. They will come face to face in the reunion special, which drops on Netflix Sunday, August 30, at 4 p.m. ET.
