Netflix viewers were left reeling last night after the reunion episode of Love Is Blind UK season 2 revealed only one couple had stayed together. Things were tense between couples Kal and Sarover and Billy and Ashleigh, all of whom married on the show only to split months later.

Jed and Bardha, who ultimately did not get married when faced with the decision at the altar, were also seemingly not on speaking terms. Meanwhile Megan and Kieran, who quickly became fan favourites on the unusual dating show, were all smiles as they confirmed they were still happily married.

In an exclusive interview with Reach Screen Time, the pair described the challenges of keeping their marriage a secret.

Megan explained: “We came up with a full fake story on how we met and how to relay that to people.”

Quizzed on their fake meet-cute, she admitted: “We actually made it quite spicy, because [Kieran] was like, ‘Let’s just say Hinge’ and I was like ‘No, we may as well make it a bit fun.’

“So we said it was a coffee shop in King’s Cross and I was getting a coffee, Kieran came over and started chatting to me and then asked for my number and then we just started dating.

“It keeps the romance alive because people have been like, ‘That never happens - I love that!’” she added with a laugh.

“And then I was like, ‘Wait til you hear the real story guys!’” Kieran quipped.

The couple also spoke about the difficulty of keeping their marriage a secret for so long, with Kieran confessing: “It’s been really weird, hasn’t it? I reckon we’ve done a pretty good job.

“I know there’s a few TikToks out there circling that have spotted my stepmum’s painting in the back of both our pictures, but I think we did a pretty good job given the circumstances.

“It’s very strange introducing Meg to some extended friends who weren’t at the wedding and them being like, ‘You’ve been together for a year? Then why is she not on your Instagram ever? Why are you posting yourself?

“‘I know you were on holiday together and you’ve only posted a picture of you! That’s a bit weird mate.’

“So it was a bit strange keeping it on the down low but we’ve done a pretty good job!” he added.

He also mentioned a hilarious mix-up with one of Megan’s friends, who feared they had split when he saw she had joined the cast of Love Is Blind season 2.

“My favourite one was one of Meg’s friends was like, ‘Oh my God! You went on Love Is Blind? But what about Kieran? I thought it was going really well!’

“And she was like, ‘Have you seen the cast list?’ And then he looked and went, ‘Oh my God! Kieran’s on the other side!’”
