In a twist no one saw coming, Love Is Blind alum Sara Carton has officially confirmed she’s dating Joey Leveille — and fans are spiraling. Just weeks after fans were convinced Sara had emotionally closed the chapter on her rocky past with Joey, the reality star has left jaws on the floor by going back to the man who arguably broke her the most.
The internet reaction? Explosive.
“Did She Forget What He Did?”
Joey Leveille, whose reputation took a serious hit during and after the show, was accused by viewers of gaslighting, emotional manipulation, and playing multiple women. His chaotic behavior left many rooting for Sara to rise from the ashes and find someone who would finally choose her — and mean it.
So when Sara took to Instagram with a soft-launch-style carousel featuring a photo of Joey’s unmistakable tattooed arm wrapped around her waist, the comment section erupted.
“Girl. We were rooting for you 😩”
“Did she forget what he DID?!”
“No no no no no 😤”
And perhaps the most echoed sentiment of all:
“We watched it. We saw the tears. How can she just go back?”
Sara Breaks Her Silence
After the reveal went viral, Sara addressed the backlash in a surprisingly calm, heartfelt Story post:
“It’s easy to judge from the outside. What you saw was one version of the story — edited, curated, and filmed months ago. People grow. People heal. And sometimes… people find their way back to each other.”
She went on to say that the connection she and Joey shared “never fully went away,” and though things “got really messy,” there was always something underneath the chaos that felt real.
“I’m not saying everything he did was okay. But I also know the version of Joey I see now isn’t the one you saw on your screens.”
Redemption or Regret?
Of course, fans are divided. Some believe in second chances and see this as a mature move — two people trying again after doing the work. Others are calling it a textbook case of toxic relationship patterns and wish Sara had kept moving forward without looking back.
Still, a few fans are reading between the lines and suspect that this public reveal is only the beginning of a new chapter for the pair — possibly one that will play out on a future reality project or special reunion.
Because let’s be honest: when it comes to Love Is Blind and its messy aftermath, nothing stays quiet for long.
