Love is Blind star Sarah has revealed she found Tinder on her husband John\u2019s phone, on top of the strip club drama<\/a> we already knew about. Appearing on Nick Viall\u2019s podcast, The Viall Files<\/a>, Sarah said John was on the dating app during the same boys\u2019 trip and even had a match. When she confronted him, he claimed a \u201cbug\u201d had put Tinder on his phone. Yes, really.<\/p>\n

Sarah, who married John on [season X] of the Netflix show, explained that her suspicions began when a friend casually mentioned that \u201call the guys went to the strip club\u201d. The trouble was, John had texted her separately to say only \u201csome of the guys\u201d were going, and that he wasn\u2019t up for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018Oh, why aren\u2019t you going?\u2019 And he was like, \u2018I\u2019m just not in the mood for it or something,\u2019\u201d Sarah said. \u201cSo like he lied for no reason, because we had talked about it and I was like, \u2018No, you can go.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

That one lie set everything off. \u201cThat like triggered something in my brain,\u201d she said. \u201cI was like, \u2018Oh, he lied about the trip. That\u2019s weird.\u2019 And then it was all very quickly like, it was very laid out for me, it was very easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

When co-host Michaela asked if she\u2019d found anything else on his phone, Sarah didn\u2019t hold back: \u201cHe was on Tinder.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that it all happened around 3am, but that the time didn\u2019t excuse anything. \u201cI don\u2019t care that like there was intention and even if you were wasted, you had wasted intention,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s gross.\u201d<\/p>\n

John said a \u2018bug\u2019 got Tinder on his phone<\/h2>\n

Sarah said John didn\u2019t take her seriously when she first confronted him. \u201cHe was like, laughing,\u201d she said. His explanation? That his phone had been hit by a bug, and that he\u2019d been hacked.<\/p>\n

Sarah confirmed she\u2019d seen his profile herself, \u201cand like there was a match, too, during that time.\u201d She also wasn\u2019t buying the idea that it happened by accident. \u201cHe took the time to find photos,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s so much work. I mean, maybe he\u2019s always had it, and it just like was like, deactivated, or something, and he just like activated it. I don\u2019t know, I\u2019ve never been on Tinder. I\u2019ve only been on his Tinder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Somehow, it gets worse. Sarah revealed John called her at 3am one night during the trip, and she could hear women in the background.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember I was annoyed because I had both jobs the next day. I\u2019m like, \u2018Why are you calling me?\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cI could hear girls in the background at the house, which again, I trusted him fully. So I peacefully went to bed after that, but I just knew I wouldn\u2019t get the same in return.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cHad I been on a girls\u2019 trip, and if he had ever heard boys in the background, like, it would have been this whole thing.\u201d Looking back, she said, \u201cYou were texting an escort, and then like, called your wife. Which is like the worst part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nick pointed out how much more alarming it all is given John married someone he met on a hugely watched TV show. Sarah agreed: \u201cThis is a public relationship. You can\u2019t hold it together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what makes me angry,\u201d she said. \u201cYou had one year to behave. I mean, obviously I\u2019m grateful that it was in this year. But it\u2019s like you had one year and you couldn\u2019t do that. That\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also said cast members are easily recognised on nights out. \u201cSometimes the guys will go out and they tell everyone that they were on Love is Blind,\u201d she said. \u201cSo it\u2019s like people are taking pictures of you. These girls are going to remember you. Like, what are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

And she compared it to how her friends\u2019 husbands spend their boys\u2019 trips: \u201cI have married friends and their husbands go on boys\u2019 trips and they\u2019re golfing and they\u2019re going to breweries and they\u2019re not doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n

What John has said<\/h2>\n

According to Sarah, John insists the dating app was a one-off. \u201cHe says no,\u201d she said, when asked if he\u2019d ever used Tinder outside of that trip. \u201cAnd like nothing physical happened, and that he after the texting and stuff wanted to come home because that\u2019s when he realised he liked being married.\u201d<\/p>\n
