Relationship status: Broken up
Uche and Aaliyah's romance seemed to be a perfect match from the start, though several missteps got in their way. First, Aaliyah admitted she cheated in a past relationship, which prompted a less-than-kind response from Uche. The argument brought Aaliyah to tears and she ran to her pod friend Lydia for comfort. But things took a turn when Uche shared his own shocking revelation: he and Lydia dated before "Love Is Blind." This left Aaliyah with many questions and some resentment toward her connection and friend.
Ultimately, Aaliyah decided to leave the show at the end of episode four. Producers informed Uche of her exit just before he was about to propose to her. In the following episode, Uche called Aaliyah to get clarity on why she left, but her answers left him dissatisfied, so he hung up on her. The two then came face-to-face in episode seven to discuss what went wrong.
In short, Aaliyah shared that she began doubting their relationship once she found out about Lydia and felt Uche didn't give her enough details. Uche admitted he should've been more forthcoming, but ultimately he suggested that the two call it quits. Aaliyah told "Love Is Blind" alum Cameron on his "Hanging With the Hamiltons" show that she and Uche tried to date outside of the show for "about a month," though "it didn't work out." In September, she confirmed to POPSUGAR that the two no longer speak and added that she was "dating, happy, and in a great place."
During the reunion, Aaliyah updated viewers and said, "I'm in a beautiful, loving relationship now with somebody who treats me like a queen." According to her, they met on an R&B cruise. As of today, it's unclear whether Uche is dating or in a relationship, as he didn't attend the reunion.
