Sabrina slams Love Is Blind UK prenup rule that could have saved her marriage

She was ‘let down’ by the show’s choice to marry without prenups

I think most of us were pretty shocked when we found out that Sabrina and Steven had coldly split at the Love Is Blind UK reunion. The couple were the first to get engaged and seemed the most loved up of all, in my opinion. However, I guess their solid foundation wasn’t as strong as it seemed, and it could be to do with the show disallowing contestants to arrange a prenup.

Sabrina told the Out of the Pods podcast on Monday that finances had heavily impacted her marriage with Steven and that it was the driving force in their separation.

When asked if she had discussed finances with her husband, Sabrina told hosts Deepti Vempati and Natalie Lee: “We did deeply, even in the pods and we had conversations that was very much, like, ‘What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is yours.’

“It was very much, like, ‘Once we’re married, we’re a team but whatever you’re bringing to this marriage is yours.’ I really respected that because I think that’s a great outlook. But, I think this is where I felt a little let down by the show in the sense that we’re not given prenups because there’s not enough time.”

Sabrina implied that a prenup could have saved their marriage, agreeing that it would have been “beneficial” for both her and Steven.

She expressed that finances caused immediate tensions between them: “I don’t believe that Steven’s ever gonna ask me for anything, that’s just not who he is as a person.

Omg, one of the MAFS UK couples has ‘secretly reunited’ to ‘give relationship another go’

“He’s not gonna say, ‘I want half this or I want this.’ Like, that’s not at all what I’m insinuating because that’s not who he is, but a prenup takes away that awkward conversation if everyone has to put everything out there, everything has to go into discovery — all your credit card statements, bank statements, everything — but it also protects everyone as well.”

It’s safe to say Sabrina was not impressed with Love Is Blind UK’s decision to not provide a prenup option for the newlyweds. I think A LOT of couples would have made different choices if being able to sign one was on the table (cough cough, Freddie).

However, the reunion revealed to us that Sabrina’s main reasoning for the divorce was Steven’s reluctance to make time for Sabrina in his life. She opened up about how difficult she’s been finding the aftermath of being on Love Is Blind UK: “I really struggled, like, I was diagnosed with depression, I was put on anxiety meds for the first time in my life. Like, I really struggled with my mental health the first few months after everything unraveled and the marriage broke down.”

Maybe Love Is Blind UK should listen to Sabrina and take this as a sign to give couples the option to sign a prenup. After all, you’re agreeing to marry someone you’ve never even seen, let alone lived with.
