Love Is Blind stars Sarah and John are divorcing after John admitted that inappropriate messages sent during a night out caused a major breach of trust in their marriage.
The couple were the only pair to marry at the end of season 11, but their relationship has since ended. Sarah filed for divorce, and the pair reportedly began living separately in April 2026.
John disclosed the circumstances surrounding their split during an early viewing of the reunion, which was filmed more than a year after the events shown in the season finale.
John admits to emotional affair during Love Is Blind marriage
He said he had an emotional affair roughly a year into the marriage and took responsibility for the breakdown of their relationship.
“Unfortunately Sarah and I are no longer together, which is my fault,” John said. “We had a wonderful year of marriage, the two of us. Shared a lot of memories together. We had a wonderful year of marriage together, but unfortunately I made a mistake and there was a major breach of trust on my part.”
John said the incident followed a “boys’ night” with friends, during which he behaved in a way he described as “un-husbandly”. He stressed that nothing physical had happened, but admitted to sending messages to someone he had met that evening.
“I texted one of the people we met out that night, and nothing happened, but she saw the texts and they were inappropriate for me to be sending as her husband,” he said. “It was like three [texts], but they were bad.”
Sarah described the situation as “very sad” and said she had struggled with the way John spoke to her during their marriage. She indicated that his behaviour during the night out became the final straw.
The Love Is Blind season 11 finale was released on November 4, while the reunion is due to provide further details about the former couple’s separation.
