After a whirlwind of love, heartbreak, and uncertainty on Love Is Blind, Sara Carton has finally opened up about the real reason she fell for Joey Leveille — and it’s far deeper than just chemistry.
In a recent interview, Sara, who made a significant impact on fans during her time in the pods, revealed the raw and vulnerable truth behind her connection with Joey. While many viewers were captivated by their undeniable chemistry on screen, Sara shared that it was something far more meaningful that drew her to him — and it wasn’t just about a perfect romance.
“It wasn’t just about the fun conversations or the laughs,” Sara said, her voice soft yet sincere. “What made me fall for Joey was how he made me feel. He made me feel safe, heard, and valued. And that’s rare. It’s not something I found in anyone else.”
A Connection Beyond the Pods
Sara and Joey’s journey on Love Is Blind wasn’t without its bumps. There were moments of doubt, moments of hesitation, and moments where Sara even considered walking away. But through it all, it was Joey’s ability to stay grounded and support her emotionally that kept pulling her back.
“When I was in the pods, I had so many fears. I didn’t know if I could trust myself, let alone trust someone else. But Joey — he was always there, reminding me of who I was, even when I lost sight of that. I needed that,” Sara shared.
While many fans saw their connection as a fairy tale, the reality was far more complicated. But what Sara has now realized is that their bond was built on something deeper than mere physical attraction or fleeting moments of passion — it was built on trust, vulnerability, and emotional safety.
Joey’s Steady Support
According to Sara, one of the things that truly stood out about Joey was his consistent, calm demeanor — especially during moments of uncertainty.
“In a world that’s constantly changing, he was my rock. When I was scared or unsure, he was the one person who always made me feel like everything would be okay. And I think that’s why, even when I pulled away, I kept coming back to him. He was my safe place,” Sara said with a smile.
Their journey wasn’t a simple one, but it was real — and for Sara, that authenticity is what made their love so powerful.
A Love That Was Worth the Wait
As Love Is Blind continues to be a conversation starter for many fans, Sara’s relationship with Joey is a reminder that real love takes time, patience, and vulnerability. While the couple didn’t get a perfect ending in the pods, they’ve found a beautiful and genuine love outside of the show, away from the cameras and drama.
“I never imagined that I’d find someone who made me feel this way. Joey is everything I didn’t know I needed. He’s the person I can laugh with, cry with, and just be myself around — no pretenses. I think that’s what love should be. It should feel safe, real, and effortless,” Sara concluded, her eyes softening as she spoke about Joey.
As the couple continues to navigate life outside the pods, their journey reminds us that love isn’t always about grand gestures or perfect moments. Sometimes, it’s about finding someone who makes you feel like you’re home.
