Love Is Blind UK star Freddie Powell has broken his silence over ex-partner Catherine Richards' new romance.
The pair hit it off in the pods of the Netflix reality show's UK spin-off, before embarking on a whirlwind romance and making it all the way down the aisle.
However, when it came to saying 'I do', Freddie told Catherine that "the timing might not be right" for them and they went their separate ways.

The couple confirmed their secret year-long romance with some loved-up posts on social media, while Catherine also revealed on the Bailiwick Express podcast that they have since moved in together and have a dog.
Discussing their relationship with the Daily Mail, Freddie said: "I found out about it quite early on, to be honest, so not long after we broke up, maybe a couple weeks after, I found out she had been on dates with him.
"If she's happy, you know, I've not really got anything to say, to be honest. I think as long as she's happy and he's happy, then I hope it works for them."

As for whether he would strike up a romance with one of his other co-stars, Freddie added: "I wouldn't choose to, personally. I pursued Cat, and that was my journey. I think you can meet anyone anywhere.
"You can go to Morrisons and meet someone. You don't have to meet someone from the pods."
Catherine revealed to Bailiwick Express that she first reached out to Jake on social media after his "rough" journey on the show.
The pair then spoke "every day for five weeks" before pursuing a serious relationship and eventually moving in together.
Love Is Blind UK is available on Netflix.
