Love Is Blind villain Shake announces he has new girlfriend in brutal Instagram post

Love Is Blind star Shake Chatterjee has struck up a new romance, following his failed engaged to co-star Deepti Vempati.

The reality TV star revealed his new girlfriend to his Instagram fans on Thursday - with a seemingly cheeky dig towards his ex-fiancée.

Shake, who was one of the villains on the second series of the Netflix show, shared a cute collection of snaps and videos with his new beau to his 171,000 followers.

The veterinarian and new girlfriend Emily looked blissfully happy as they posed for the camera together in front of the Chicago skyline.

"Good things come to those who w̶a̶i̶t̶ don’t settle," Shake captioned the Instagram reveal - possibly a thinly-veiled dig at his ex Deepti.

Comments have been limited on the post, but the snaps have racked up over 12,000 likes so far.

Emily - who is tagged in the post - has also shared a number of pictures of herself with the animal doctor on her own Instagram Stories over the past week.

Speaking to People earlier this month, Shake confessed he was "the happiest [he's] ever been".

"Right now, I'm self-focused. It's interesting though because when you become self-focused, it's also when you start getting the most attention," he told the American publication.

"When you prioritize yourself — I think that's the best relationship advice I could give somebody, honestly."

Shake's new romance come after he received a backlash for his actions of the second series of Love Is Blind, which premiered on Netflix last month.

Many viewers were critical of his treatment towards Deepti, whom he got engaged to after knowing her for only 10 days.

Throughout the reality TV series, many noticed Shake often quizzed Deepti about her weight and physical appearance - despite the fact the format of the show being based entirely on personality.

Host Nick Lachey even suggested the contestant was "on the wrong show" and pointed out other series are available that focus on looks.

After popping the question and meeting Deepti in person, Shake admitted to everyone but his fiancée that he wasn't attracted to her.

The pair never made it down the aisle, after Deepti opted to not marry Shake at the alter, revealing that she was 'choosing herself' instead.

During the Netflix's show reunion, she also address the "disrespectful" way she felt her ex spoke to women.

"It's how you do it and how you say it that's extremely disrespectful. It's degrading to women," she stated earlier this month.

"I'm so happy for every single person sitting on this couch today because they have my back and they call you out."

Shake didn't initially apologise for his actions, but did later did issue a public apology to Deepti - claiming he was "truly sorry" for some of the things he said during the show.

"I wanted to take this opportunity to really just say sorry to a woman that I know I hurt," he said in an Instagram video.

"Deepti, I am truly sorry for some of the things that I said. Things that honestly just could have been left unsaid or could have been said differently. Things that never should have been on national television. During the time that we were filming, you were my best friend."
