After weeks of dodging rumors, Love Is Blind’s Sara Carton is finally breaking her silence — not with a denial, not with drama, but with honesty. And in doing so, she’s revealing the unexpected, imperfect, and deeply human beginnings of her relationship with Joey Leveille.
“Neither of us were looking for love again — not after everything that happened. We were just two broken people… trying to breathe.”
“It Started With a Check-In. It Turned Into a Lifeline.”
Sara says it all began with a simple message from Joey: “Hey, I know you’re going through it. I’m here if you want to talk.”
“I didn’t respond at first,” she admits. “But then one night, I just… called. I was crying. I didn’t even know what I needed. But he listened. No judgment. No pressure. Just presence.”
Those late-night phone calls became regular. Sometimes silent. Sometimes filled with laughter. Sometimes drenched in old wounds.
“We talked about everything — regrets, mistakes, shame. But the more we talked, the less alone I felt. And I think… so did he.”
From Broken to Brave
Both Sara and Joey were healing from Love Is Blind — from fractured relationships, public pressure, and personal grief.
“We weren’t perfect. We still aren’t. But we were honest with each other in a way we never had been with anyone else,” she says. “There was no pretending. No filters. Just raw, exhausted truth.”
When asked if there was guilt over how things began — especially with fans questioning the timeline — Sara doesn’t flinch:
“Healing doesn’t always follow the rules. It’s messy. It’s confusing. But that doesn’t make it any less real.”
“We Didn’t Plan This. But We Chose It.”
Eventually, the calls turned into coffee. Then dinners. Then nights where neither wanted to leave.
“He made me laugh again — really laugh,” she says. “But more than that, he made me feel like I deserved something good after everything.”
Sara knows not everyone understands. And that’s okay.
“We didn’t fall in love the right way. We fell in love the real way — slowly, painfully, beautifully. Through tears, not roses.”
