Emma and Matt Willis are back on Love Is Blind UK today as the third season lands on Netflix. The married pair have been the face of the format since 2024, and their return keeps one of television’s few current presenting partnerships intact.
That continuity matters because the show is not changing its hosting model for a new cast of singles looking for love. Emma and Matt Willis remain the show’s central guide, while Emma’s solo work on The Voice UK and Strictly Come Dancing means this is still one of the clearest examples of her balancing individual visibility with a joint screen identity.
2008 and 2024
Their partnership has two useful markers: they married in 2008, then started helming Love Is Blind UK in 2024. That gives the Netflix series a host relationship with real longevity behind it, rather than a newly assembled pairing built around a single run.
As a business choice, that stability is the point. A dating format depends on trust in the framing, and keeping the same couple in place for a third season avoids the distraction of a hosting reset just as the series introduces another round of contestants.
Matt in the kitchen
Emma also used the interview to sketch the private rhythm behind the public partnership. Both she and Matt said he is the better cook, and she praised a really good pie he made, complete with designs on top and even a willy pie pattern.
Matt said he had not spent much time in the kitchen lately because he had been in the theatre all year, every day. Emma answered with, "You have been in the theatre all year, every day" and "So you haven't really been around at night." The line lands because it turns a domestic detail into a schedule problem: one partner has been working so steadily that ordinary routines have had to give way.
Spontaneous and anxious
Emma described herself as quite anxious and someone who likes to plan ahead, while Matt is more spontaneous. She said they even each other out, which is the cleanest explanation for why the pair work on screen as well as at home.
That balance also helps explain why the format keeps them. A presenter duo built on contrast is easier to read than a polished brand exercise, and this one has the added advantage of being a real marriage rather than a television pose. Matt’s reaction to Emma revealing she had once played the body double of Milla Jovovich — "I did not know that!" and "you find out something new every day" — is the same story in miniature: he still sounds surprised by her, and that keeps the partnership alive on camera.
For viewers starting Love Is Blind UK season 3 today, the takeaway is straightforward: the new singles are the draw, but Emma and Matt Willis are the continuity. If the season works, their steadiness will have done part of the job before the first connection is even made.
