Our Story

From a viral show to a dating app

Both originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mr. and Mrs. Matundu’s love story has inspired viewers around the world. While touring as an international musician based in the UK, BM met Arlette Amuli in Phoenix, Arizona. After navigating a long-distance relationship through the challenges of the COVID era, the two finally united in the U.S. and tied the knot.

Together, they brought their love and creativity to life through Pop the Balloon or Find Love—with BM behind the scenes directing, editing, and running full production, and Arlette captivating audiences as the show’s charismatic host.
Understanding that not everyone is ready to date on-camera, BM and Arlette dreamed up Luv or Pop: a space where connections can unfold naturally. From interactive features to exclusive content, Luv or Pop empowers users to match with intention and engage in authentic, socially-driven experiences.

“The app feels like a natural extension of the universe they’re creating around real love. The idea of collecting a balloon and not being able to talk to anyone else once you’ve matched really sold me. It feels intentionally counter-cultural compared to most dating apps.”

Anthony Anthony, 25

“I actually love that feature. If you match, all other conversations pause. You’re forced to focus on that one person and really get to know them. A lot of apps don’t do that, and people get distracted. This makes dating more intentional.”

Maureen Maureen, 30

“I’m glad they’re doing this. Their model clearly works, and I hope they’re able to continue to translate it into an app that genuinely benefits people.”
