Love is Blind UK, released on August 7, was a fresh addition to Netflix's international library of this coveted dating reality TV show. The first four episodes released this week saw the contestants getting to know each other in the pods, while a handful of them even got engaged. Stevan and Sabrina were the first couple of the season to get engaged, and rightly so, because they had the most enriching conversations of them all.
After a few dates, they were able to show their vulnerable side to each other, which culminated in them growing closer and fonder of one another. During one of their dates, Stevan opened up about the time his ex-girlfriend was diagnosed with a tumor.
"She had a consultation, and, uh, the consultant came in, and he then proceeded to say that they'd found a tumor".

In Love is Blind UK, episode 1, Stevan said he was okay with leaving her because he only cared about her at the time. He explained this by saying that if her survival meant they weren't together, he was okay with it. He added that it defined who he was and set the approach he currently had in life.
Sabrina consoled him by saying she wished she could hug him and that he was stronger because of whatever happened.
