Love Is Blind UK's Sabrina and Steven have addressed their shock split.
The former couple met on the first season of the Netflix dating show's UK spin-off, quickly bonding in the pods before deciding to get married and make a go of their relationship in the outside word.
However, during Monday's (August 26) reunion episode, the pair revealed that they have since gone their separate ways.

When asked by host Emma Willis about their decision to split, Sabrina said: "There was so much I fell in love with about Steven, and one of the big things in the pods that really drew me to him was when I said I'd quit my job, how he reacted to that.
"He said, 'I can't wait to support you' when I said I wanted to start my own agency. But the support wasn't there.

"We had agreed we were going to split our time between Belfast and London for the first year, so that left us in a position where we were doing long-distance, which was not the plan from the word go."
Sabrina added that the "communication was awful" and there was "no consistency in Steven's behaviour towards me and the relationship," ultimately leading to their break up.

In response, Steven said: "Primarily, it was the long distance. We underestimated the added pressure of what the long distance would cause.
"We both left our jobs to find love, that's why I fell for Sabrina. Sabrina started her own company and it took off and it was brilliant.
"We just lost our spark. Our communication expectations were very different, we hadn't done long distance like that."
However, Sabrina then claimed that she tried to make the distance work as best she could, travelling to Belfast seven times and making her home as accommodating for Steven as possible.
"I was trying everything I could to make the relationship work and I just feel like you've made zero accommodations in your life for me or our relationship," she said.
While Steven admitted that some of what Sabrina said was "right" and he "played a part in that," he also said that "a lot" of what she said is "not facts."
Love Is Blind UK is available on Netflix.
