It turns out Netflix viewers were blind to some love stories.
Love Is Blind UK alum Shirley revealed in an Aug. 18 TikTok that although the reality series showed six couples getting engaged in the pods, there were actually 11 couples that accepted marriage proposals.
So, who else out of the 30 contestants got down on one knee? She only named one: Sports turf maintenance director Richie, 30, who allegedly proposed to commercial contracts manager Ria, 34.
Shirley explained that Richie—who she described as "soft" and "vulnerable"—was her top choice in the pods, but said he dumped her during one of their dates.
"I told them how relieved I was to hear their voice on the other side of the pod," the 27-year-old shared. "After about 30 seconds, they said, ‘Look I’m gonna be honest with you, there’s someone else I’ve been dating in the pods and I've decided to pursue my relationship with the other person.’”
Shirley said she learned that Ria had said "yes" to getting engaged to Richie, but hinted there was trouble after they met in person.
"I think it’s probably their business to say how they each felt at the reveal," Shirley added. "It wasn’t that much long after that Richie then reached out. And everything after that was truly more hurtful than what had happened in the pods in the first place."
Shirley noted that she's moved on and has since met a new partner with "unfathomable qualities," who she debuted on Instagram in April.

Read on to find out which Love Is Blind UK couples are still together.
This pair was up first and despite some reservation from their families, have seemed destined to tie the knot from day one. Unsurprisingly, their wedding day went off without a hitch as they exchanged vows and gushed about starting the next stage of their lives together.
“I promise nothing less than a life of good chapters as we grow old hand in hand,” Steven vowed to his bride as they tied the knot. “You stole my mind, and my heart, and now I give you my hand.”
At the reunion, the pair revealed they had broken up over the challenges of long distance from London and Belfast.
Though these two had a strong start in the pods, differences over their values led to heartbreak at the altar.
Tom was clearly on the fence as he prepared to head down the aisle, and when it came time to give his answer, he called things off.
“I love you,” Tom told his bride. “I just feel like right now isn't the right time for me. We’ve had some differences in values, and I haven’t had enough time to really understand how those differences would really affect our life day to day.”
We had high hopes for this pair who worked through their initial drama in Greece and seemed to be on the right track. But they weren’t on the same page when it came time to swap vows.
Though Ollie was all-in, telling Demi, “I do,” Demi called the wedding off, while leaving the door open to continue their relationship.
“I love you, but I do not,” Demi told Ollie at the altar. “Because I’ve learned to love myself in a whole different light during this journey. And actually, that’s testament to you, Ollie… I know what I want from a husband, and I don’t think we’re quite there, obviously. But it’s not, ‘I do not, I’m going to walk away from you forever.’ It’s ‘I do not, now.’”
Ollie later noted that he didn’t fault Demi for her decision, saying, “I don’t think anyone can really look down on someone for not being 100 percent certain they wanna marry someone they’ve known for weeks.”
The two shared at the reunion that they are not together and Ollie hinted that he has moved on with another woman.
Meddlesome mother-in-law aside, Bobby and Jasmine looked confident on their wedding day. And though there were plenty of tears, the pair gave their heartfelt confirmation at the altar, tying the knot without a dry eye in the place.
“We just have that special kind of love,” Bobby told his tearful bride. “The kind of love that only comes around once in a lifetime.”
No, Sam did not get an invite to this pair’s special day. Though Nicole initially went with her first pick, Sam Klein, in the pods, she immediately recognized her mistake and rekindled her romance with her second choice, Benaiah.
Despite Sam trying to cause further rifts at the cast meetup, the couple were blissfully in love on their wedding day, and happily tied the knot.
“You accept me for who I am, flaws included,” Benaiah told his bride, “which shows me you have an unconditional love.”Nicole added, “From our first hello, I felt like you were my kindred spirit.”
In a surprise to no one—except maybe Catherine—this pair did not get married. Catherine was excited on her big day, despite the couple’s many struggles throughout their brief relationship. When asked if she accepted the fit funeral director as her husband, Catherine happily replied, “I do,” but Freddie clearly wasn’t feeling the same confidence.
“I love you, Cat,” Freddie told his bride. “But the timing might not be right for us. This isn’t a goodbye. It’s not a rejection of the love that we share. Part of me wanted to say yes and embark on this journey with you, but as I look into your eyes, I know I’m faced with the truth we both have to acknowledge. There’s still mountains left for us to climb and lessons for us to learn before fully embracing a lifelong commitment.”
Freddie broke down in sobs after the tense altar moment and Catherine rushed away declaring she felt “numb” and “unwanted.”
Though Freddie expressed interest in continuing their relationship beyond the show, Catherine didn’t seem as open, saying, “I never want to walk down the aisle again. I just feel blank. I do trust, but it’s just going to take a lot for me to bounce back.”
