Nevertheless, the pair seemed to be more in love than ever by the time they got back home. Despite some family misgivings, they stayed strong and Kal’s mum even gave them her blessing.
We’ll have to see what comes next.

Kieran and Megan
Still together? Yes
Keiran had connections with both Megan and Sophie, however he eventually decided to give all of his attention to Megan after Sophie seems to be more closed off. “I only want to do the rest of this journey with you,” he told Megan after a difficult conversation with Sophie.
They had an instant connection upon meeting, but soon struggled when Megan revealed she was dealing with so trust issues. After their holiday, Megan finally mustered up the courage to tell Kieran she loves him.
Their relationship continued going strong despite a few potential bumps, like when Kieran met Sophie for the first time and when Megan found herself in the middle of a blow up between Javen and Katisha.

Jed and Bardha
Still together? Yes
Jed from Essex found what he was looking for in Bardha. The pair both wanted the exact same things from life and Bardha even said she had met her husband after just one date. The pair connected even more when Bardha opened up about how her family fled the war in Kosovo when she was just five years old and made their way to the UK. The pair seemed like the perfect match and their in-person meeting was just as strong. “It was the best moment of my life so far,” Bardha even said.
Things continued to be very lovey dovey for the couple on holiday in Cyprus where they spent their time daydreaming about their future life together.
Meeting the family was just as easy. Bardha’s family welcomed Jed with open arms, while Jed’s father was just as supportive. His mother was the only one who seemed a little unsure.
And we’ll have to see what happens at the altar.

Javen and Katisha
Still together? No
Javen and Katisha bonded over their desire to have two to three kids and their approaches to physical and emotional intimacy. Katisha, who also dated Demola in the pods, almost tried to end things when Javen. However, when he finally gave her the reassurance she was looking for, she committed to him.
The pair get engaged and meet face-to-face. In Cyprus, the couple hit a few snags when other couples began to chime in on the strength of their relationship.
Katisha eventually revealed to Javen that she was initially more drawn to Demola and explained she was fully on board with their relationship now.
Despite moving in together and meeting family members, Javen later revealed that he didn’t feel fully in love with Katisha. Things took a turn when Javen went out after a pod squad meet-up with Sophie, Aanu, Yolanda, Demola, Patrick, Kieran and Megan – without Katisha, who stayed home and cried.
The pair continued their relationship, but things hit another snag when Megan revealed to Katisha that Javen seemed to be getting close to Aanu, Yolanda and Sophie during their night out. “He wasn’t acting like you were fiancés,” she said. Despite Javen’s insistence that nothing happened, Katisha decided to leave the engagement and the experiment.
