Mia Horton Where is Uche at the Love is Blind reunion? It’s the question we’re all asking, especially as Netflix fans believe he “carried this season.” Uche was dating Aaliyah in the pods before she decided to leave. So what happened to Uche on Love is Blind?!
Love is Blind season 5 was a whirlwind. The Netflix show followed singletons hoping to find their match based on connection alone, removing the physical attraction part until they were engaged. Uche found out during his season that his ex, Lydia, was in the pods, and his romantic interest Aaliyah left as a result.
Where is Uche on the Love is Blind reunion?
Uche revealed that he had other commitments when the Love is Blind reunion was filmed. He told a fan: “I had a speaking engagement in Mexico that conflicted with the reunion. I posted about it on my profile.”
Two days before the season 5 reunion was released, Uche shared a snap of his Mexico trip. “The last day in Mexico was one to remember. Good food, fun entertainment, and warm conversations,” he penned.
When fans asked how he went to Mexico with no fiance – as that’s where the couples had their vacation after getting engaged – Uche confirmed: “This trip was recent and not related to the show.”
He claims he dated Aaliyah post-filming
Uche says that he and Aaliyah dated after the show and shared their first kiss. It comes after Aaliyah departed the series before Uche could propose, and a later meet-up ended in tears.
He had turned down Aaliyah’s suggestion of giving a romance another try. However, Uche claims on the Miss Understood podcast that he “did continue a relationship with her.”
Uche revealed: “We met up and she apologized for leaving – I apologized for any miscommunication I have. We held hands. We shared our first kiss, and we decided to date off cameras.”
