Everything Love Is Blind UK’s Sabrina Has Said One Year On From Her Marriage To Steven

We loved cheering on Belfast woman Sabrina Egerton on Love is Blind UK this year.

Fans were shocked when she confirmed that she and her husband, Steven Smith had split just 86 days after they married on the reality show.

They seemed like the perfect couple from the show, but they quickly realised that they were not as compatible as they believed when they met on the show in 2023.

Now Sabrina has opened up about “one of the darkest [years] I’ve ever experienced”.

Marking what should be her one year wedding anniversary she said: “One year ago today, I walked down the aisle and said “yes” to what I believed would be the start of my happily ever after. But life doesn’t always go as planned.

“Coming to terms with the breakdown of my marriage was one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. For so long, I held onto anger, and even longer, a deep sadness. Deep down, I knew it hadn’t been enough time and that I didn’t truly know this person outside of the experiment. But I ignored my intuition. I’ve spent a lot of time blaming myself for not listening to that inner voice.”

She went on to say: “However, I made my decision based on the information I had at the time, and that’s all any of us can do. What if it had worked out? Sometimes, you have to take the leap of faith and hope for the best.”

Reflecting on the last 12 months she confessed: “This past year has been one of the darkest I’ve ever experienced, emotionally and mentally. To have my marriage crumble so publicly and so painfully was devastating. But through all the hurt, I’ve learned something incredibly important—I am stronger than I ever imagined. I’ve learned to find light in the darkest of places, to be grateful for the love and kindness I still have in my life, even when things seem bleak.”

She admitted that she is often asked if she “regrets” taking part in Love is Blind UK. However, she is happy that she appeared in the first season of the reality series.

“I went into it with an open mind, an open heart, and I was honest and authentic throughout. I was truly ready for that next step in life. And for that, I’m proud. The experience taught me resilience—it showed me what I will and won’t accept in my life, and it gave me a strength I didn’t know I had. Every challenge we face is a lesson, and I truly believe that sometimes things fall apart so that something better can fall into place,” she wrote on social media.

Now she’s ready to take her next step as she is “officially closing the chapter on that part of my life”.

“I’m letting it go with peace and gratitude for the lessons it taught me,” she said.

“Now, as I step into this next chapter, I’m excited for what’s ahead. I know, when the time is right, I’ll meet someone who truly deserves my love, someone who will value and cherish all of me, who thinks I’m worth showing up for. Until then, I’m focused on building a life I’m proud of—and that’s a journey worth celebrating.”

We can’t wait to see what is headed for Sabrina!
