After Sikiru (SK) Alagbada said ‘I do not’ to Raven Ross at the alter, the couple decided to rekindle their relationship and continue dating after the show. They announced this on the ‘Love is Blind‘ reunion, which dropped just eleven days before they decided to call it quits.
What a season. We had Zanab humiliating Cole at the alter, Matt having a tantrum every time Colleen left the house, and Bartise, who was more than happy to remind single women why they should stay single. If that wasn’t enough to keep you entertained, girls on the internet have exposed SK for cheating on Raven.
The Other Women
It all started when a TikTok creator posted a video saying that she went on a date with SK in April, prior to ‘Love is Blind’ airing. They matched on Hinge and she had no idea he was in the show.
In the video, which has now been deleted but was quoted by Buzzfeed, she said ‘Put a finger down if you went on a date in April with a guy from Hinge and then you see that he’s actually on the show ‘Love Is Blind’, and that he met you after the show was filmed, but is still with the same girl right now.’ She also provided screenshots of their messages and a lovely video of them kayaking.
If that wasn’t bad enough, a second TikTok creator made a video exposing SK. @hannahbethstyle posted a video telling her story. It turns out SK is her ex. After he finished filming the series, he took her on a trip to Europe and ‘talk[ed] about getting back together’.
When confronted about why he had a text message from someone under the name “fiancé”, SK claimed it was all fake and just for a TV show. She brought up her reservations again asked to meet her which he agreed to. She goes on to say that Raven later sends a screenshot of Hannah’s account to SK asking who she is. It seems as though Raven had no idea.
The Aftermath
Raven originally dismissed the allegations in a video which has also now been deleted. She said ‘Rumours are rumors, and we’re fine.’ A few days later, Raven and SK both shared a message on their Instagram stories revealing that they had decided to end it.
“We are saddened to announce that we have decided to go our separate ways. Due to the on-going legal proceedings surrounding these allegations, we can not provide additional details and ask that you please respect our privacy during this hard time.”
Raven Ross and Sikiru (SK) Alagbada
People have speculated about the possible legal proceedings. It’s probably because SK broke the NDA he would have had to sign for the show. So not only did he cheat, but he did it in the dumbest way possible.
Raven’s friend Macole was quick to jump onto TikTok to share her opinions of SK. She explains that in the scene where she met SK she wasn’t sold and that’s why she has unconvinced look on her face.
Others have speculated that the whole relationship was a PR stunt. Raven would get to promote her pilates business and SK would get fame. Some people simply could not understand what kind of connection they had in the pods. However, it’s just a conspiracy theory for the moment.
PR stunt or not, you do have to wonder where Netflix found the men for this season. There was an absurd amount of disrespect directed at their partners. There was the fear some of us felt when a certain someone got angry. Now SK, the guy who was supposed to be one of the good ones, has been cheating this whole time. At least Alexa and Brennon continue to be the saving grace of the season.
