Love Is Blind UK viewers have been struggling to pinpoint why Cuba Riggs looks so familiar. The 29-year-old yoga instructor is among 30 singles who entered the famous Netflix pods at the beginning of season three. As always, the contestants were sent on a string of blind dates in hopes of finding a strong connection without ever laying eyes on their partner.
Couples meet face to face
Once they were ready to commit, the couples finally met face to face and got engaged. They are now tackling real-life relationship milestones like living together and meeting each other's loved ones. The first eight episodes of the season are available to stream, with three more instalments set to drop on Wednesday, August 26.
Cuba felt a spark with Ryan Roberts in the pods and they decided to take their relationship to the next level. But it's not just Cuba's love story that has caught viewers' attention, fans have been left distracted by her resemblance to actress Dascha Polanco.
Fans point out the likeness
Fans on Reddit have pointed out their likeness, with one posting: "I finally figured out who Cuba looks like. From the first episode I had this absolute flashback to a gorge actress and took forever to remember. It's Dascha Polanco! Obviously her younger self but tbh she's still a beauty."
Someone else agreed: "Ohmgosh! I'd been trying to put my finger on it. Their eyes are so similar," while a third added: "Yes that's exactly who!" Another fan who was happy to finally pinpoint Cuba's lookalike wrote: "This is it! Thank you!!!!!!"
Dascha's famous role
Dascha is a Dominican actor best known for her role as "Daya" Diaz in Netflix's hit series Orange Is the New Black. Love Is Blind viewers have also pointed out other cast members with famous lookalikes, including Sophie Tregaskiss and Ciara Murphy.
Before starting her Netflix journey, Cuba was previously engaged but called off the wedding when she found out her then-fiancé was cheating. The reality star has struggled to find a strong connection since her last partner. In her free time, the Londoner is said to enjoy "ecstatic dancing, but performing the intuitive moves with a partner would only add to the ecstasy". Love Is Blind UK Season 3 is streaming on Netflix.
