Love Is Blind season 11\u2019s only married couple, Sarah Williams and John Shannon, are getting divorced, and a podcaster has made claims about what allegedly caused the split.<\/p>\n
According to court documents obtained by TMZ<\/a>, Sarah filed for divorce from John in Massachusetts on June 4, citing an irretrievable breakdown of their marriage. The documents show the pair got married on March 27, 2025, and were already living apart by April 15, 2026, just over a year after their wedding.<\/p>\n In the filing, Sarah asks to go back to her former name and to divide their money and debts. She also asks a judge to stop John from restricting her personal freedom.<\/p>\n The news comes just after Wednesday\u2019s season 11 finale, where Sarah and John were the only couple to say \u201cI do\u201d, despite clashing over politics, family and their very different outlooks on life.<\/p>\n Neither Sarah nor John has publicly explained why they broke up. But podcaster Rikkii, who hosts Storytime with Rikkii, claimed on an October 30 episode that their separation came after Sarah found explicit text messages John had allegedly exchanged with a sex worker. Rikkii alleged that John met the woman while on a night out with fellow Love Is Blind cast member Rob.<\/p>\n \u201cSo they\u2019re calling it an emotional affair,\u201d Rikkii alleged. \u201cI think it was about three text messages or something like that. And that is the reason for the separation.\u201d<\/p>\n Rikkii said it was being described as an emotional affair because she didn\u2019t believe John actually met up with the woman, but told listeners to wait for the reunion for the full details.<\/p>\n She also claimed the couple were struggling with other issues. \u201cI think issues that they were having in their marriage were communication and then household stuff,\u201d Rikkii continued. \u201cHe made it very clear that he expected her to be the nester and take on the mental load of the household, so I think that did end up coming into play as far as part of their separation.\u201d<\/p>\n Sarah and John were no longer together by the time the cast filmed the reunion, which Rikkii claims took place in late October. That means viewers can expect the split to be addressed when it airs.<\/p>\n Rikkii also claimed John faced the most heat at the reunion, saying he was \u201cnot doing well\u201d there and that \u201cthe only one that got their feet held to the fire was John.\u201d During the reunion trailer Nick Lachey can be seen asking someone whether they cheated, with Sarah also seen crying during another clip. <\/p>\n For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like <\/i>Reality Shrine<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a> on <\/i>Facebook<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" She asked the judge to ‘bar John from restricting her freedom’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":249734183,"featured_media":66020,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1358],"tags":[1528,1438],"class_list":["post-66012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-love-is-blind","tag-netflix"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/11\/05\/its-over-love-is-blinds-sarah-files-for-divorce-from-john-due-to-irretrievable-breakdown\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"It’s over!
