One of the most anticipated and discussed couples on the Netflix reality show ‘Love is Blind,’ shocked the entire audience when they announced their break up. The defining moment of the breakup came when the groom SK told his bride Raven “I do not” at the alter during their wedding. SK elaborated on his reply, saying that they both knew exactly how he felt about themselves – that he loved her. But SK also mentioned that they both have a unique and complex set of circumstances and that the day for them to be together was not that day.
In an interview with the producers of the show, SK was asked the proper reason behind his reply at the wedding. As an answer to this question, SK responded that one of the major reasons behind the breakup was the cultural difference that existed between him and Raven. SK was originally from Nigeria and the differences that Raven shared with his family could not be ignored. SK also mentioned the unwillingness that Raven expressed while discussing moving locations. SK asked Raven her opinion about moving from Texas to California, where he lived. Raven was reluctant to this idea.
SK repeated that there was no question about the love that he had for Raven but according to him, it would make him feel very guilty and bad to continue in a marriage that had many unanswered questions. SK was very clear in stating that he was aware of the fact that Raven will be lost forever from him for the answer but according to SK’s view, that was far better than having to live with the feeling of shortcomings from her every day after marriage.
As for the response from Raven, she was completely shocked by the response from SK on their wedding day. In her interview after the event, Raven told that she was really planning to say “Yes” to SK. Raven also mentioned the cultural differences that the couple shares. She said that she could never be the perfect Nigerian bride and that they have established that fact so many times before. Raven expressed her doubts about whether she could be the perfect Nigerian bride as that was not who she was.
After their break up, SK spoke in an interview with the Bustle where he revealed that the love story between him and Raven was not completely in the way it was portrayed in the show. He mentioned that the narrative focused more on other subjects and incidents from the show rather than focusing on what it needed to. Raven, in a session, told People that she was utterly ‘shocked’ by SK’s reply.
