"Manipulation"— Love is Blind UK fans criticize Steven's behavior towards Sabrina at the reunion special 

Love is Blind UK aired its reunion special this week on August 26, 2024, during which the hosts sat down to discuss what the cast had been up to since their time on the show. One of the couples they spoke to first was Sabrina and Steven, who were the first ones to get engaged in the pods.

At the reunion special, it was revealed that the long distance was the end of their relationship, however, they two clashed over separate points. Sabrina criticized Steven for not supporting her, while the latter noted they "lost" their spark. The male cast member also pointed out the things his ex-wife said during the segment and stated he didn't "recognize" her.

Fans of the show took to social media to react to the couple's interaction in the reunion special and were critical of Steven's behavior. One person wrote on X:

"I don't recognise the person that you are right now" is such a manipulation tactic. Steven how did you fool me??? #LoveIsBlindUK #LoveIsBlindUKReunion"

"Oh so Steven was a sponger who made no effort to make adjustments ?!!! He hasn't seen her in 8 months ?!!! He didn't show up for Christmas ?!!! Throw the whole man away!!! #LoveIsBlindUkReunion #LoveIsBlind," a fan commented.

"I can’t believe Steven duped me, I didn’t see the real him. He thought he didn’t need to talk to his wife while long distance? Didn’t need to support her? Embarrassing. You know he was upset that she was more successful than her. #LoveIsBlindUKReunion," a tweet read.

Love is Blind UK fans called Steven a "narcissist" and an "inconsiderate" person:

"Steven being a narcissist and an inconsiderate person was not on my bingo card #LoveIsBlindUK #LoveIsBlindUKReunion #LoveIsBlind," a fan commented.

"Steven is like so many men. They expect women to slot into their lives. Making zero adjustment for them, not putting in any effort, or showing commitment. Just absolutely lazy and expecting a woman to sit around for that. #LoveIsBlindUKReunion," a tweet read.

Love is Blind UK fans further said that the duo needed to "heal":

"what is going on with Sabrina and Steven??!! Sabrina travelled more to London to see him and accommodated to him by buying things he wanted in her apartment. long distance for married couples I don’t think ever works out well #LoveIsBlindUKreunion #LoveIsBlindUK," a person wrote.

"Sabrina and Steven really have a lot going on. Both giving off toxic with Sabrina blaming Steven and not taking accountability and Steven not wanting to hear nothing. They both need to heal and break down wall and have less expectations of people #LoveIsBlindUKReunion," a fan commented.
