The luxury shopping guide from Staffordshire also goes by his stage name, Bobby J.
Bobby Johnson is a part-time musician and full-time luxury shopping guide from Staffordshire.
His on-screen persona and romance with his now wife, Jasmine, have made him a local celebrity.
While Bobby’s background is not well known, he did share that he is multiracial; his father is Black Jamaican, and his mother is English.
On Instagram, he often shares glimpses from his vacation, many of which have been in and around Jamaica.
Bobby seems to be proud of his heritage, captioning one of his Instagram posts,
My blood type… Black & White with a splash of gold!

Bobby also shared his reason for joining the show.
After losing a close cousin, Bobby realized “life was too short to spend it alone,” so he decided to start looking for a partner in the popular social experiment, “Love is Blind,” where he met Jasmine.
Bobby and Jasmine’s relationship in Love is Blind UK has been a rollercoaster ride.
After the recently released wedding episodes, fans wonder if the couple is still together.
After all, there were visible hurdles in the couple’s path, the biggest one being Jasmine’s mother, who “planted seeds of doubt” in her daughter’s head.
Her mother, Marisa, raised concerns about Bobby regarding his education, financial stability, and dating history.
Having learned that Bobby did not go to college, Marisa commented,
It’s better to be with a person with a good educational background. Sometimes it’s very difficult to communicate with an uneducated person.

On the morning of the wedding day, Jasmine voiced her concern about the wedding stemming from her mother’s disapproval, saying,
She thinks I like Bobby more than he likes me and then she has concerns in regards to his job at the moment. She thinks that he can’t provide for his family,

Safe to say, fans online had much to say about Marisa; some called her overprotective, while others accused her of projecting her own issues and insecurities onto her daughter and son-in-law-to-be.
One fan commented on one of Bobby’s Love is Blind posts,
U n your love-jasmine are my favourite couples🤍🤍 For your age, ur intelligence, wisdom, and intentionality is rare🤍 can’t wait to watch your wedding. I’m sure jasmines mum will eventually be your beatfriend🤍

Despite her mother’s concerns, Jasmine overcame her fears and took it upon herself to marry Bobby, who she said “makes her feel safe.”
In the marriage episodes, the couple exchanged vows, and later, the bride commented,
I respect my mom. I respect her opinion. As much as I love her, ultimately it’s my decision to make and I’m really happy,

Bobby assured Marisa that he would “take the best care” of Jasmine, and the mother-in-law, in a somewhat unconvincing tone, replied, “Love you.”
Fans of the show are falling head over heels for the couple, with many voicing their support for them on Instagram.
In a post of Bobby getting ready for the wedding, one commented,
Aside from your and Jasmine’s wedding vows, my fave part was when you promised Jasmine’s mum that you’re gonna take the best care of her. Such a genuine man! 🙌🏼

However, the couple’s relationship is being questioned because they have not posted anything about it on social media.
Also, in one of Bobby’s posts, where he poses with fellow Love is Blind contestant Beniah, he was seen not wearing his wedding ring.
However, contestants are typically not allowed to post about their relationship while the show airs to build suspense and avoid spoilers for the viewers.
Bobby himself replied to a comment about him not wearing the ring, saying,
whether married couples are still together or not, they cant wear rings in public until after the reunion has aired.

There is no evidence that the couple has grown apart, but fans will learn more about it in next week’s episodes.
