Who is Love Is Blind's Lydia in a relationship with?
In the fourth episode of Love Is Blind Lydia gets engaged to Milton, a 24-year-old engineer.
The pair initially hit things off during the first episode, where they bonded over their love of rocks. However, Lydia was also interested in pursuing things with Izzy before he decided to cut things off to concentrate his efforts on Stacey and Johnie.
Following Izzy's rejection, Lydia was solely focused on Milton and things were going well for the pair, until she revealed she had previously dated fellow contestant Uche, before heading into the experiment.
Her revelation shocked Milton, who needed some time to get his head around the situation. However, he forgave Lydia for not initially telling him and the pair got engaged, with Milton proposing at the end of episode four.
Right now, it's not clear if the pair are still together and said "I do" at the end of the aisle, but we'll be sure to find out in the next episodes.
What happened with Uche and Lydia?
As revealed in the third episode of Love Is Blind season five Lydia and Uche actually dated before they both entered the experiment.
The pair recognised each other's voices during the first day of the experiment, and while Lydia suggested they give their relationship a fresh start, Uche was less convinced and said it wouldn't be in keeping with the point of the experiment and so they both pursued other people.
Uche and Lydia had dated for a number of months but ended their relationship long before they entered the Love Is Blind experiment. Things appeared to be quite serious for the two, with Lydia meeting Uche's friends and spending lots of time together.
Love Is Blind season five is available on Netflix now
