Love Is Blind season 11\u2019s John Shannon has admitted to having an emotional affair about a year into his marriage to Sarah Williams, and says their split is his fault.<\/p>\n
In an early look at the reunion on Tudum, John confirmed the couple are no longer together. \u201cUnfortunately Sarah and I are no longer together, which is my fault,\u201d he said. \u201cWe had a wonderful year of marriage, the two of us. Shared a lot of memories together. We had a wonderful year of marriage together, but unfortunately I made a mistake and there was a major breach of trust on my part.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s hard to talk about,\u201d John continued. \u201cThere was a boys\u2019 night I went on with a bunch of my friends and I just acted un-husbandly.\u201d<\/p>\n
John insisted that \u201cnothing physical happened\u201d. When he was pressed for more details, he explained: \u201cI texted one of the people we met out that night, and nothing happened, but she saw the texts and they were inappropriate for me to be sending as her husband. It was like three [texts], but they were bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
He confirmed the woman he texted was \u201ca stripper\u201d and that she had given him her number. John said he\u2019s been \u201cdevastated by the whole thing\u201d, and that it had been \u201creally traumatic\u201d for him.<\/p>\n
His account matches what podcaster Rikkii claimed in October, when she alleged the couple split after Sarah found \u201cabout three text messages\u201d John had sent to a woman he met on a night out.<\/p>\n
Sarah described the situation as \u201cvery sad\u201d. She said the texts weren\u2019t the only problem in their marriage, revealing she\u2019d struggled with \u201chow John spoke to me\u201d while they were together.<\/p>\n
But she said his behaviour on the boys\u2019 night was the \u201cfinal thing that made me want to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Sarah filed for divorce from John<\/a> in Massachusetts on June 4, citing an irretrievable breakdown of their marriage. The pair married on March 27, 2025 and had separated by April 15, 2026.<\/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":" ‘There was a major breach of trust on my part’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":249734183,"featured_media":66159,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1358],"tags":[1528,1438],"class_list":["post-66152","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\/08\/love-is-blinds-john-admits-sarah-split-was-his-fault-after-inappropriate-texts-with-escort\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Love Is Blind\u2019s John admits Sarah split was his \u2018fault\u2019 after \u2018inappropriate texts\u2019 with escort","url":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/11\/08\/love-is-blinds-john-admits-sarah-split-was-his-fault-after-inappropriate-texts-with-escort\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/11\/08\/love-is-blinds-john-admits-sarah-split-was-his-fault-after-inappropriate-texts-with-escort\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-32-150x150.png","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Ellie-New-Featured-Images-32.png"},"articleSection":"News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ellie Ring"}],"creator":["Ellie Ring"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Reality Shrine","logo":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cropped-mX3_1x3z.png"},"keywords":["love is blind","netflix"],"dateCreated":"2026-11-08T21:00:26Z","datePublished":"2026-11-08T21:00:26Z","dateModified":"2026-11-08T21:00:26Z"},"rendered":"
