In the aftermath of “Love Is Blind” Season 8, the spotlight remains on cast member Sara, who has found herself at the center of swirling rumors regarding her relationship with fellow contestant Joey Lavell. During a recent appearance on the Vile Files podcast, Sara addressed speculation that she and Joey had rekindled a romance, clarifying their current status as merely friends.
The reunion episode of the popular Netflix series left fans buzzing with questions, particularly about Sara’s love life following her split from Ben. While the chemistry between her and Joey was evident during their time in the pods, Sara emphasized that they are not dating. “To be clear, me and Joey are not dating,” she stated, while also describing the complex social dynamics within the cast as a “love square,” involving two other cast members.
Despite the romantic tension, Sara expressed her appreciation for the friendships she forged during her time on the show. She revealed that she has remained close with several other cast members, forming a supportive group they affectionately call the “Yeehaw Crew.” This tight-knit circle, which includes Joey, recently gathered in Nashville, further fueling speculation about their relationships. However, Sara reiterated that at this moment, she is not looking for a romantic relationship, stating, “We’re definitely not dating. I don’t know what the future holds, but right now a relationship isn’t on my mind.”
Sara’s journey on “Love Is Blind” was not without its challenges. Initially, her relationship with Ben appeared promising, but they ultimately broke up due to what Sara described as “irreconcilable differences.” She shared that Ben was hesitant to engage in deeper conversations, leading her to question their long-term compatibility. The tension culminated during the season’s reunion, where Sara and Ben clashed over the circumstances of their breakup. While Sara maintained she had plans to reconnect with Ben in Nashville after filming, she accused him of going cold on her, a claim Ben denied, leaving fans divided over the true nature of their relationship.
As the dust settles from the season, Sara’s candidness on the podcast provides fans with insight into her experiences and the evolving dynamics among the cast. While her romantic journey may not have led to the fairytale ending she had hoped for, Sara remains optimistic about the friendships she has built and the potential for future connections. For now, her focus remains on her friendships, as she navigates life post-show, leaving fans curious about what comes next for her and her fellow contestants.
