Love is Blind has returned early for reality TV fans, though not in the form U.S. viewers have come to know. This August, Netflix debuted Love is Blind: UK, the latest installment in the franchise in which eligible singles sign up to fall in love and (potentially) marry someone they meet "sight unseen."
To spearhead the series, the streaming giant found an alluring Love Is Blind: UK cast of 30 singles, set up pods and couples vacations in locations across Europe, and recruited two hosts who are familiar faces to TV fans across the pond. Emma and Matt Willis are the hosts and British stand-ins for Nick and Vanessa Lachey on Love Is Blind: UK—and not only have the married couple and parents been together for nearly 20 years—but they also have extensive reality TV experience. They've quickly become reasons to watch the series (along with the relationship drama of couples like Bobby and Jasmine, and Nicole and Benaiah), in part because they are not afraid to open up about what makes a decades-long marriage work. Read on to learn more about Love Is Blind: UK hosts Matt and Emma Willis and their touching love story.
