Are 'Love Is Blind: UK' Season 2 Stars Kieran Holmes-Darby and Megan Jupp Still Together?

Megan and kieran kiss in a pool in cyprus in love is blind uk season 2.

Spoilers for all episodes of Love is Blind: UK season 2 ahead. Reality TV is almost always synonymous with drama, and there is nothing more dramatic than a love triangle. In season 2 of Love is Blind: UK, two love triangles unfold in the pods that bring plenty of heat to the first batch of episodes. In one of those fateful three-ways, Kieran Holmes-Darby connects with both Megan Jupp and Sophie Willett, before he ultimately chooses Megan when he’s unable to break down “ice queen” Sophie’s emotional walls.

Heading into the final two episodes, Kieran and Megan seem to be the right pairing: the couple has easy banter, sexual chemistry, and emotional vulnerability with each other. But will that be enough to say, "I do," at the altar? Here, we break down Kieran and Megan’s relationship in Love Is Blind: UK season 2, what caused Sophie to walk away from Kieran—and the show—and whether Kieran and Megan might still be together.

What happens between Kieran and Megan on 'Love is Blind: UK' season 2?

For a while, 28-year-old dancer and fitness instructor Megan wasn’t Kieran’s only connection. The 28-year-old gaming entrepreneur was also balancing a relationship with Sophie, a 28-year-old senior commercial manager. But Kieran was struggling to break through Sophie’s icy exterior—walls that she admits she puts up because of a falling out with her mother after her parents divorced.

By comparison, Kieran’s relationship with Megan is easier. They laugh over their shared interest in dancing and that they’re both naturally sweaty people; following their first date, she admits in a confessional that there’s an immediate spark and tells Aanu in the women’s living quarters that he’s her top choice. Kieran, meanwhile, says that he can feel the sexual tension between them through the wall. But even more than some of their superficial attraction, Megan is vulnerable with him about her parents’s divorce and her lack of relationship with her birth father, whereas Sophie’s inability to open up and show her true self halts the growth of her relationship with Kieran.

Feeling like his connection with Megan is stronger, Kieran gifts her a sentimental Japanese ornament called an omamori, which signifies good fortune. He sprays the packaging with his aftershave, a flirty detail to give her a sniff of what he’s like in real life. It’s a big step forward with Megan, and a clear signal to Sophie that she isn’t on the same playing field as Kieran’s other connection. She confronts him about the gift, which hurts a bit extra after they bonded over their interest in traveling to Japan. She feels disrespected by his gesture and breaks up with Kieran, leaving the experiment altogether.

While he does apologize to Sophie, Kieran doesn’t skip a beat. Megan asks him about it on their next date, as she felt she was unknowingly put in the middle, and he is transparent about his desire to only continue the dating show with her. By the end of the third episode, Kieran proposes to Megan through the wall. She says yes, and there are palpable sparks when they meet at the reveal. Adorably, he repeatedly calls himself a “lucky boy” to have found love with Megan.

Their blissful union continues in Cyprus. Being a gentleman, Kieran doesn’t reveal anything about their physical connection behind closed doors, but he does say they cuddled all night (whether that’s a euphemism or not, we’ll never know).

Megan and Kieran then move seamlessly into the apartment living stage during the second batch of episodes, which arrived on August 20. However, there is one thing hanging over their heads: Megan hasn’t said, “I love you,” to Kieran yet, though he has expressed the depth of his feelings to her. Her fear stems from seeing her mom in bad relationships growing up, and, while Kieran is patient with her, he wants to hear the words from her before the wedding stage of Love Is Blind.

Luckily, he doesn’t have to wait long. During a romantic dinner at home, where he’s cooked their meal and given her a silly floral arrangement, Megan feels confident enough to tell him she “loves him so much.” It’s exactly what Kieran needed to feel secure in the relationship, and he says it back to her. Later, when they see each other’s real apartments, Megan is tickled by his gaming obsession and says she loves everything about him—even his nerdy passions that he’s turned into his career.

Instead of meeting family members, Kieran introduces Megan to his friends—the “biggest step” of the experiment for him. His friends are protective, and even though they all like Megan immediately, they question whether this relationship is real enough to weather the ups and downs of marriage. Kieran’s best friend, Jack, is especially skeptical of what he thinks is a honeymoon phase, but Jack also conveys that he is ultimately excited and supportive of whatever Kieran decides.

With his friends’s blessing in tow, Kieran plans another romantic date at Blackfriars Tavern to learn a dance for their wedding. Megan calls this a “pinch me date,” as it’s a venue she’s familiar with as a lifelong dancer. They communicate their confidence in their relationship and even recognize that others may find this process insane, but it makes sense to them.

Not even a reunion with Sophie could kick these two off cloud nine. At the recurring gathering of all Pod Squad contestants, Kieran comes face-to-face with Sophie, whom he admits would be his type in real life. But he doesn’t make any moves, and Sophie, thankfully, isn’t looking to win Kieran over either. She dismisses him as not her type (she doesn’t usually go for blondes, she tells the girls) and makes a few comments about his wardrobe to get under Megan’s skin. Still, Megan isn’t fazed and sticks by her man.

Importantly, Kieran also sticks by Megan during a confrontation with Javen in the eighth episode. After Megan told Katisha that her fiancé, Javen, allegedly flirted with other women at a bar, Katisha leaves the experiment, and Javen blames Megan for spreading rumors. During a combative argument, Kieran backs up Megan’s claims and reassures her that she did the right thing by telling her friend what she observed. It’s a really promising sign that Megan and Kieran are acting as a unit going into the final stretch, and they’re suddenly one of the strongest remaining couples on the show as we approach the final two episodes.

Do Kieran and Megan get married on 'Love is Blind: UK' season 2?

Following the initial hurdle of Kieran’s secondary connection in the pods, it’s been smooth sailing for Kieran and Megan post-engagement. They’re both genuinely sad to leave the apartment stage of the experiment and not be able to wake up next to each other, and their time apart only deepens their connection. On wedding day, both of Kieran’s parents have a tender moment with him. First, his mom calms his nerves and tells him that he’s always been a sunshine child. His dad echoes the sentiment when Kieran admits that his nerves stem from being a child of divorce. He tells his son that he’s happy that he’s emotional about marrying Megan because it means that it matters to him. Kieran’s dad gifts him a pocket watch to wear on his wedding day, an additional accessory to his top hat and cane get-up.

Megan, meanwhile, has a similar conversation with her mother. She admits that it’s been hard for her to trust based on what she’s seen her mom go through, and her mom reassures her that her experiences don’t dictate Megan’s.

At the altar, their vows are emotional. Kieran cries multiple times, conveying that he can’t believe how perfect she is for him and calls her his happily ever after. She gushes equally about him, and they both reference their dreams for having a family together one day. Of the couples that made it to this portion of the experiment, Kieran and Megan were the most slam dunk “yes.” After saying, “I do,” they both brag that they never had any doubt about what the other one would say. In the small glimpse we get of the reception, Kieran and Megan perform the dance that they practiced together earlier in the season.

Are Kieran and Megan from 'Love is Blind: UK' season 2 still together?

Like their fellow castmates, both Kieran and Megan’s Instagram pages are filled with reposts from friends and fans watching the final episodes as well as from the cast reunion, but nothing that flat out confirms the current status of their relationship. They’re also not yet following each other on Instagram, but as we’ve noticed with some of the other married couples, this may not be as telling as it seems.

Though we likely won’t have definitive answers until after the reunion, which is airing this Sunday, fans found a clue that Megan and Kieran are still together after dancing into the sunset. A post shared on Reddit on August 17 spotted that the pair had a very similar background in their recent social media posts, hinting that they were taken in the same room. Between that and Kieran’s recent hair transformation, it seems that the couple is still going strong.
