Stephen from Love Is Blind has retired his dirty kink texts and has a new girlfriend

After one of the messiest stints in Love Is Blind history, Stephen Richardson left the show with no fiancée and a phone full of dirty kink text messages. Since then, he split from Monica, raged on the reunion and disappeared for a bit online, only to return with a new hard launch of his girlfriend! Here’s everything you need to know about Stephen and his new girlfriend post Love Is Blind.

Yesterday evening, Stephen posted a photo gallery of four pictures with a new lady on his Instagram. The caption simply read “life lately,” but the photos of them together look very cosy so it’s safe to assume they’re dating. His co-stars Leo, Ramses, Tyler and Tim all left him messages of congratulations in the comments section.

The rest of the comments are a bit of a mixed bag and people seem divided on whether or not they’re happy for the new couple.

Somebody commented: “Is this who you were sleep-test texting?”

On the other hand, one user wrote: “It blows my mind the amount of people that troll someone just to post negative comments. None of you know this man. She is beautiful and he posts only positivity and happiness. Let him be.”

Surprisingly, Stephen has not responded to any of the comments. While the show was airing he was pretty active on social media and started to let the hate get him down a lot. It’s nice to see he’s put his phone down now – I know he was pretty sleazy on the show but the amount of hate he was getting online was scathing.

Is his new girlfriend the girl he was texting on Love Is Blind?

The answer to that million-dollar question is no, it’s very unlikely his new girlfriend is the girl Stephen was sending “dirty kink” text messages to on Love Is Blind. We know this because Stephen explained at the reunion that he’d “only talked to her that day” and hadn’t been in contact with that girl since, meaning his new lady couldn’t possibly be her. Though of course, we’d have to take him at his word, but so did Monica and look how that worked out for her. You know what? I’m just gonna let him do his thing from now on.
