Steven has finally addressed his separation from Sabrina, whom he wed during the inaugural season of Love Is Blind UK. Since their breakup was publicly revealed at the reunion episode, Sabrina has been vocal about the split, whereas Steven has remained relatively reserved.
At the reunion, it was disclosed that the couple had parted ways since their wedding, a revelation that surprised many viewers. Sabrina predominantly placed the blame on Steven, citing a lack of communication and effort on his part, while emphasizing the challenges posed by their geographical distance—Sabrina resided in Belfast and Steven in London. She accused Steven of failing to communicate and of not reciprocating the adjustments she made to accommodate him.
However, Steven has provided a different perspective. While he has not elaborated extensively, he mentioned personal struggles, including financial issues, quitting his job, and family matters, which he believes contributed to the dissolution of their marriage.
In a recent BBC interview, Steven shared his reflections on the breakup. He expressed that he has “no regrets” about his actions during the show and described the split as a result of taking a “gamble” that did not pan out. He admitted feeling hurt by the negative portrayal at the reunion and maintained that his true self is known by his close friends and family.
Steven reflected on the emotional complexity of revisiting their relationship on Love Is Blind UK, noting the contrast between the initial joy of falling in love and the pain of their eventual split. He acknowledged that their physical distance exacerbated minor issues, making them seem more important, leading to their incompatibility in real life.
Sabrina, on the other hand, has spoken candidly about the toll the breakup has taken on her mental health. She revealed that she has been diagnosed with depression and continues to undergo therapy. Sabrina described the separation as having a severe emotional, mental, and physical impact, and she has struggled with anticipatory grief over the future they had envisioned together.
