Love Is Blind‘s Monica Admits She Was ‘Caught Off Guard’ When She Learned About Stephen’s Texts to Another Woman

"This is not happening again," she said.

It wouldn’t be a season of Love Is Blind without a heap of drama and season 7 is absolutely delivering. Stephen and Monica got engaged, and then she discovered that he’d been sexting another woman while he claimed to be “drunk” during a sleep study (er, dude, you can’t be drunk for a medical assessment, nice try though).

Stephen, an electrician, proposed to Monica, a sales executive in The Pods. “I’ve been waiting 36 years to find you,” Monica tells him, accepting the proposal. “You’re the kindest, nerdiest, chattiest, most loving, compassionate, caring, and sweetest man.”

But things began to fall apart when he confessed, “I did something completely stupid while being drunk at a sleep test with somebody who texted me.” Monica didn’t fall for it. “You were doing it today, Stephen. And the really gross ones too.” When Monica asked to see the text messages, Stephen admitted that he deleted them because he didn’t want to be reminded of them.

“I was so devastated. I was completely caught off guard,” Monica told EW about the moment she found Stephen was cheating. “One thing that you don’t get to see a lot of is how much Stephen and I talked about my past with infidelity, and how it’s been very brutal, and he promised… I felt so safe in knowing that that would never be an issue because of how open and honest I was about it.”
