Love Is Blind’s SK Addressed Cheating Claims Following Raven's After The Altar Interview

Raven Ross and SK Alagbada were the first Love Is Blind Season 3 couple to arrive at the altar. “I think we have a great future ahead of us, and I really mean it when I say that I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you,” Raven told SK at their wedding. SK, however, displayed more ambivalence during the wedding day — and told his bride-to-be that their “very unique and complex set of circumstances” would make marriage a bad idea, at least at the time.

They did get together after the show, though. When Bustle caught up with Raven last fall, she said they were “in a great place” and had “so much more of [their] story to tell.” That story unfolded on screen and off, with Raven and SK confirming they were dating during the Nov. 9 Love Is Blind sit-down reunion special. Then, during After the Altar Season 3, Raven and SK actually got engaged. However, by the time the three-part event aired in February, viewers knew that Raven and SK had broken up amid reports that SK allegedly cheated on Raven.

At the end of After the Altar, Raven, indeed, claimed SK cheated on her. She expanded on that claim during an interview with Nick Viall. Nearly two weeks later, SK did his own interview with People to share his side of the story.

While he admitted he had an “inappropriate conversation” with a woman during the fall, he denied claims that he cheated on Raven while taking a trip to Mexico. “The Cabo trip happened around May at a time when I really felt Raven and I, we had not exclusively made that completely committed relationship, to be in a marriage-bound, serious relationship,” he said.

He also claimed that Raven was in contact with someone else when they were together. During several trips together, SK alleged, “I personally witnessed incidents of communication between her and this older guy — whether him still blowing up her phone, trying to call or FaceTime her, or even a text message that talked about the possibility of them having kids together.”

Raven told the magazine that this was “completely untrue,” though.

SK also said that during a trip to New Orleans, he and Raven had a “heart-to-heart conversation” where he realized Raven was “not ready to settle down” yet. “Against my better judgment, I did not act on those feelings, and we continued dating and working on the relationship,” he said. “In retrospect, I wish I'd ended things at that time. At the same time, I blame no one but myself.”

As you’ll remember, Raven and SK’s different life paths were a big sticking point for the pair throughout Love Is Blind Season 3 — especially as SK was already committed to an MBA program and would have to study in California. “You’re kind of robbing my friend of a fairytale because, in the first two years, you’re going to be flying back and forth,” Raven’s friend, Macole, pointed out during Episode 7.

And as for Raven discussing reports of SK’s cheating in After the Altar? SK told People the pair initially decided against making their “already-messy situation even messier” by talking about it. So when Raven appeared at the end of the special to discuss their breakup, SK explained, he was caught off-guard. “I was really surprised, because I was like, ‘I thought we weren't going to do this,’” he said. “I do [wish I had recorded something] actually. And I honestly didn't because, again, out of respect for what we once had together, that was what we both decided, and I just respected [it], which obviously did not end up playing out that way.”
