After All the Drama — Sara Carton Confirms She’s Dating Joey Leveille: “It Was Always Him”

The pods were closed, the engagements were over, and yet somehow… love found its way back.

After months of speculation and lingering tension since the reunion of Love Is Blind, Sara Carton has finally broken her silence — and confirmed that she’s officially dating Joey Leveille, the man she once walked away from in one of the show’s most heartbreaking moments.

“It took time, and it definitely wasn’t easy,” Sara said in a recent podcast appearance. “But in the end… it was always him.”

A Love That Didn’t End in the Pods

Fans of Love Is Blind will remember Sara and Joey’s deep emotional connection in the pods. Their conversations were raw, vulnerable, and full of chemistry — but after a last-minute twist involving another contestant, Sara made the shocking decision not to pursue an engagement with Joey.

The fallout was painful — Joey was blindsided, and Sara left the show in tears, unsure if she’d made the right choice.

“I was scared. Scared of getting it wrong, scared of choosing with my heart and not my head,” Sara admitted. “But walking away from Joey haunted me.”

From Silence to Second Chances

Months passed. The reunion aired. And fans couldn’t help but notice subtle signs — a shared playlist, the same coffee shop selfie backgrounds, a suspiciously similar dog in the background of both their stories. Still, nothing was confirmed.

Until now.

Sara posted a soft-launch carousel on Instagram over the weekend. The final slide? A photo of Joey kissing her on the forehead, captioned simply:
“No more what-ifs. Just us.”

Joey also confirmed the news with a heartfelt caption:

“Sometimes the pod isn’t where love ends. Sometimes it’s where it starts.”

Facing the Critics — and the Past

Of course, not everyone is thrilled. Some fans are calling the reunion “staged” or speculating about behind-the-scenes drama. And with Joey’s past connection to other women on the show still fresh in viewers’ minds, the couple knows not everyone will be on board.

“We’re not perfect,” Sara wrote in a follow-up story. “But we’re real. And after everything, I’d rather choose something real than chase an idea of perfect.”

As for what’s next? The couple says they’re taking things slow — no pressure, no rings (yet), just intention, therapy, and a whole lot of love.

“Love didn’t happen the way we thought it would,” Joey said. “But it happened. And that’s enough for me.”

Looks like this Love Is Blind story is far from over — and honestly, we’re rooting for them.
