Who Is Love Is Blind UK’s Cuba? Her Age And Career Explained
There’s nothing that reality TV fans love more than watching people fall head over heels – especially when those people are complete and utter strangers.
Netflix’s Love Is Blind: UK has returned for season three, which landed this week (Wednesday 19 August). Although there’s an abundance of great dating shows (Let’s Marry Harry, anyone?), there’s one thing that sets Love Is Blind apart. On this show, our contestants will get engaged without ever seeing each other’s face – dating in isolated pods. Only once they’ve popped the question will these couples finally get to meet, jetting off on holiday before moving in together. It’s a rather unconventional way to find love, but given the success stories of the past, it might just work.
One of those contestants entering the pods this year is Cuba Riggs, who’s hoping to find a spiritual connection inside the pods. Who is Cuba? What did she do before heading on the show? And who does she end up with? Here’s what you need to know about Love Is Blind: UK‘s Cuba Riggs.
Who is Cuba from Love Is Blind: UK?
Cuba is one of the 30 contestants appearing on season three of Love Is Blind: UK. A free soul, she spends her time hiking, meditating, scuba diving, and enjoying ecstatic dance classes. She’s now ready to add someone special into her life, saying, ‘I have some soul connections with my best friends, but I do want to find that romantically as well.’
Where is Cuba from, and how old is she?
Cuba is 29 years old and from London, born to an English father and a British-Guyanese mother.
What does Cuba from Love Is Blind: UK do for work?
Before appearing on the dating show, Cuba was already living a pretty impressive life. She works as a yoga and fitness instructor, with her Instagram bio noting that she ‘lifts weights and goes on adventures’ – including a ten-day silent retreat while solo travelling in India.
What is Cuba looking for on Love Is Blind: UK?
Cuba was previously engaged, but called off the wedding after discovering that her fiancé was cheating on her while she was visiting him in his home country, Nigeria. Since then, she hasn’t been able to find anyone who has come close to meeting her needs.
She’s hoping that the pods might be the perfect place for her to find a connection, saying she’s open to the idea of falling in love with someone’s ‘soul and mind’ as opposed to their appearance.
Who does Cuba end up with on Love Is Blind: UK?
When Cuba entered season three, she was hoping that she could have a ‘soul connection’ with someone else in the pods. Warning: spoilers lie down below…

Cuba finds her match in Ryan Roberts, a public speaker/entrepreneur who has his own spiritual side. After getting engaged, they appear to be going from strength to strength – enjoying intuitive dance classes together and bonding over their love for clean food.
However, Ryan’s busy work schedule does seem to be causing some struggles. Jetting around the world to host his workshops means he’s often away, as well as needing time to recharge once he gets back – leaving Cuba spending a lot of time alone.
Will these two make it down the aisle to say ‘I do’? We’ll have to wait until the upcoming wedding episodes to find out…
Does Cuba from Love Is Blind: UK have Instagram?
She does! If travel and fitness is your cup of tea, then you’ll find Cuba over on Instagram @cubariggs.
