Hey there, my Love Island Star fam! It’s me, Amy Adams, your love-crazy gal, practically skipping with joy to tell you about Benaiah Grunewald Brydie (Benaiah Grunewald Brydie, oh my heart!). This 33-year-old from Preston, England, wandered into Love Is Blind: UK on Netflix, and I’ve been swooning ever since. A structural landscaper (structural landscaper life!) with a soul built for adventure, Benaiah’s story of going from solo globe-trotter to married man (Love Is Blind UK married magic!) with Nicole Stevens has me all teary and thrilled—let’s dive into why he’s my latest obsession,

Wanderer’s Pod Journey
Benaiah’s been a lone wolf for 11 years—can you believe it? After a heartbreak at 22 cracked him open, he swore off love, chasing the outdoors instead (adventure seeker vibes). From Australia to Malawi, this guy’s lived out of a backpack, shaping landscapes and soaking up mindfulness like it’s his superpower. With 160K Instagram followers (@benaiahgb) cheering him on, he’s got that “gap yah” energy I adore—think rugged trails and soulful sunsets. He’s vague about his job (structural landscaper—what even is that?), but it’s clear he’s built a life free of roots—until now.
Day 1 in the pods, Benaiah was ready to let his guard down. “I want a new blueprint for love,” he said, and I felt that longing in my bones. He clicked hard with Nicole Stevens, a marketing whiz with a kindred spirit—both deep, both dreamers. But oh, the drama! She vibed with Sam Klein too, and when she picked Sam, my heart sank for Benaiah. Then, plot twist—she ditched Sam after a shaky reveal, running back to Benaiah’s steady arms. He proposed, and I was cheering through tears—they were meant to be,
Married Adventure Begins
By Day 32, Benaiah and Nicole said “I do,” and over a year later, they’re still married (Love Is Blind UK married bliss!). At the reunion, he grinned, “She’s my home,” and I melted—those rough seas made them stronger. They’re settling in London now, blending his wanderlust with her roots, and I’m dreaming of their next chapter—maybe mindfulness retreats or outdoor brands partnering up with his vibe. His posts on Insta hint at peace, not just travel, and I love that shift.
Benaiah’s why I’m hooked on Love Island Star. He’s a free spirit who traded solo trails for a forever love, and it’s pure magic. So, fam, what’s your take? Did his pod patience win you, or is his married glow your fave? Spill below—I’m all ears! More love’s adventuring right here!
All my starry hugs,
