Looks like the Love Is Blind tea is heating up! On Feb. 22, Trevor Sova, described as “everybody’s favorite teddy bear” from the show, found himself in hot water after it was revealed that he had a serious girlfriend while filming Season 6. Despite their chemistry on the show, it’s rumored that he even referred to his relationship with Chelsea as “pretend” via a text chain with international powerlifter Natalia “Nala” Marrero. Her Campus reached out to Trevor for comment, but did not hear back at the time of publication.
A post by Instagram influencer @therealityashley sparked light on the situation, suggesting that Trevor may have had a girlfriend prior to appearing on the show. According to the sources, Trevor was allegedly involved in a relationship during filming until just two weeks ago, despite the fact that Love Is Blind was filmed over a year ago.Â
Supposedly, the text messages between Trevor and his “serious girlfriend” have been leaked online, showing that his girlfriend seemingly knew he was going on the show. In these exchanges, Trevor professes his love for her and hints at not wanting to get married on the show. “I love you so much honey,” said Trevor. “I’m excited for it but more excited to get back to you after and start our life together ❤️.”Â
He then discusses Chelsea, indicating that she was his final match and that he gave her his dog’s collar as his item. Furthermore, he appeared to suggest that his relationship with Chelsea on the show was not genuine, stating, “I hope you know how much I love you. And had to pretend that this wasn’t real life to say anything I said.” Now, fans are feeling more sympathetic towards Chelsea for not choosing Trevor, as they realize that he was clearly unavailable. While they initially thought she “fumbled” Trevor, many are relieved that she avoided what could have been a problematic situationship.
On that note, because everyone was rooting for Trevor, fans were still sad and stunned by the breaking news. Disappointed in one of Season 6’s favorites, they are now questioning what the casting requirements are to participate in a reality show like this. “I swear to God that the requirement to be on this show nowadays is to be a terrible human being,” said @michelletok in a TikTok video. Since the first photos surfaced, some fans’ fears about the cast have been confirmed, leading them to express their concerns via social media.
While Trevor continues to play a central role in Love Is Blind, the revelation of his serious relationship during filming has introduced new complexities to his portrayal on the show. Despite skepticism from some fans regarding the authenticity of these messages, given how easy it is to edit messages in today’s digital era, others are beginning to place trust in the texts, especially since Trevor himself has still not directly addressed the rumors.
