Netflix’s popular social experiment, Love is Blind UK, episode 7, aired on Wednesday, August 14, 2024. Episode 7 of the show Is She Good Enough For You is focused on engaged couples meeting each other’s friends and family.

Each participant seemed nervous when meeting their potential future-in-laws, as it was their first meeting. While most participants’ friends and family were concerned about their son/ daughter moving too fast, some were happy and supportive.

Exploring through this phase of the show, couples went through a lot of excitement and nervousness while meeting new people.

One of the couples featured on Love is Blind UK is Tom and Maria, who went to meet the latter’s family. During his visit, when Tom asked Maria’s mom, Fatima, for her blessings, she shared:

"You know, she’s my baby daughter. But you have my 100,000 blessings."

Love is Blind UK episode 7: Maria’s mother approves Tom for her "baby daughter"

During the show’s episode seven, Tom and Maria visited Maria’s family at their Hertfordshire residence. Tom described meeting his fiance’s family as he was "more nervous than probably anything in his life ever."

He met Maria’s mother, Fatima; Maria’s brother-in-law, Warren; Maria’s sister, Salma; Maria’s brother, Hisham; and two of Maria’s nieces. They all sat and discussed many things about how Tom and Maria found each other through the show and more.

Later on, in Love is Blind UK episode 7, Tom and Maria’s mother, Fatima, sat down in the living room and had a chance to discuss a few things. Fatima asked him if he had a good day. Tom replied it’s been lovely and that meeting them all has been "really nice." He admitted that he was scared before their meeting.

"Did you have an expectation of the kind of man that she (Maria) would go for?" Tom asked.

Fatima replied, "Not really," saying she didn’t know what to expect. Tom thanked her for making him feel "so welcome", and in reply, Fatima also thanked Tom.

Tom then asked Maria’s mother,

"I just wanna make sure that we have your blessing. Like, it’s not a normal situation, you know? And it’s really important for me that you feel comfortable."

Fatima shared that she was a bit apprehensive because they hadn’t gotten to know each other "really well." She added that Maria was her baby daughter; however, she gave Tom "100,000 blessings."

She also hoped that Tom and Maria would succeed and asked them "to be good to each other." While they sat down and had this conversation, Tom had been sweating quite much since the conversation started.


Fans can witness Tom and Maria’s journey from pods to living together and meeting their friends and family on Love is Blind UK, which is available to stream on Netflix.
