Since love is not only a force of nature but also a truly significant part of the whole human experience, it’s honestly no surprise some people go above and beyond in their search for it. However, as explored in Netflix’s ‘Love Is Blind: UK,’ its truest form actually requires a lot of effort owing to the expectations, feelings, trust, as well as vulnerability involved at every step of the way. That’s precisely what Demi Santana Brown and Ollie Isaac hoped to ultimately achieve, yet their path was much more complicated than they ever expected for reasons more than one.
Demi and Ollie Effortlessly Opened up to One Another
With Ollie having admittedly always dated with his eyes first, it had been six years since he had a serious relationship despite him really wanting to settle down and have his person. Therefore, it was surprising for him when he immediately felt a connection with Demi once she stated she was interested in boxing and was a football (soccer) player too – just like him – during their first date. It did worry him a little when she expressed she has often been friend-zoned because of her sporty nature and competitiveness, but he just couldn’t deny that it was as if they were two peas in a pod.
Therefore, even though he was also building a connection with Catherine Richards, he eventually chose to go further with the person he knew would be by his side every step of the way. Thankfully, the former felt Demi was a better fit for him too, so she bowed out and chose to continue pursuing her other connection with Freddie Powell, which worked out perfectly. The fact Demi was then able to tell her potential lover about her endometriosis only brought them closer together.
So, despite his worries, Ollie eventually proposed to Demi, to which she obviously said yes without hesitation, just for both of them to be pleasantly surprised during their first face-to-face meeting. She was unsure whether he would find her physically attractive, but he continuously asserted he did – not only in front of her but also in confessionals.
A sudden disconnect did form between them during their getaway, but it turned out to be owing to the social pressure more than anything else since they were able to really connect and be the person they’d fallen for in the real world. But alas, with the confidence Demi was able to gain in the ensuing weeks with the help of Ollie and his support, she knew it wasn’t time for them to get married yet. In fact, it turned out she soon realized that although he is a great man, he isn’t the one for her.
Demi and Ollie Couldn’t Make Their Relationship Work
Although Demi said no at the altar, she and Ollie initially seemed determined to continue exploring their love outside of the experiment, yet it unfortunately didn’t pan out. They have actually since confirmed they are not romantically together in any way, shape, or form anymore – they are simply friends with huge amounts of respect for one another. This once-couple does follow one another on social media to this day, but the way they lead their lives and their schedules are drastically different, making it evident there’s not really much hope for them. Then there’s the fact it appears as if Ollie has recently become involved with fellow contestant Sharlotte – the same one he told his friend Aaron was exactly his type during the London get-together.
Demi Brown is Embracing All Her Passions at Once
Although professionally a London-based Safeguarding and Attendance Manager with a background to prove her mettle, Demi is also a skilled hobbyist boxer as well as a soccer player with a philanthropic heart. In fact, she is currently associated with Go Make A Difference, an organization that offers various trips to Tanzania for students, individuals, families, and professionals alike to help the locals there improve their quality of life one way or another. This family-oriented, fitness enthusiast, plus fulfillment seeker is actually in Tanzania as of writing, immersing herself in a place where she knows she can bring about change.
Ollie Isaac is a Rising Public Figure
Despite the fact Ollie was introduced to us as a software sales professional, the truth is it appears as if he is now focusing on developing himself as a podcast host, public figure, and passionate boxer. From what we can tell, he not only trains as much as possible, but he has also recently been traveling across the globe to watch different UFC fights — whether it be Dubai or Miami, he’s been everywhere. As if that’s not enough, we should mention this ‘The K/O Show’ co-host has even been dedicating his time to simply exploring the world alongside loved ones as well as self-care, making us believe both he and Demi are perfectly content at the moment, no matter what.
