"Love Is Blind" season 3 star Raven Ross is dishing on Sikiru 'SK' Alagbada cheating after opening up about their split in a "Love Is Blind: After the Altar" special.
The reunion special saw Raven and SK looking closer than ever, despite SK leaving her at the altar at the end of season 3. The two worked things out and even got engaged in the reunion.
However, the happily ever after was short-lived as Raven revealed in a subsequent clip from the show that they had called it quits once again after she learned of SK's alleged infidelity.
“That really sucks. Since then, a lot has changed. My world is completely different. Because SK cheated on me, and now our relationship is over. It’s so crazy to watch it back and remember my feelings then,” Raven said in a clip recorded on her phone months after she and SK got re-engaged.
She continued, “I was so happy. I really was so invested in the person that everyone saw and everyone loved. That’s the person that I saw and I loved everyday too. So to see everything that has happened since then is so hard.
Now, Raven is dishing for the first time about how she learned of SK's cheating.
Who did SK cheat on Raven with after 'Love Is Blind'?
A woman took to TikTok back in November 2022, shortly after Raven and SK revealed they were back together in a reunion interview with Vanessa and Nick Lachey, to claim that she and SK had been in an on-off relationship.
A TikToker named Hannah Beth claimed she was dating SK while he was with Raven.
In a now-deleted TikTok video, Hannah Beth gave a comprehensive timeline of her on-off relationship with SK — who she dated between 2019 and 2022.
According to Hannah Beth, the two started as friends before beginning to date. She provides some substantial evidence of them going to events together and even a trip to Ibiza in 2021.
Hannah claims she first became aware of Raven when she saw texts on his phone from a contact named fiancé.
SK allegedly told her that it was for “[Love Is Blind] and that he was just friends with [Raven] and that they were doing it for money.”
She said she felt uneasy but didn't have a reason not to trust him. When she raised the issue again, he said she could even meet Raven to confirm his claims.
Because of this, Hannah Beth claims she followed Raven on Instagram but while in an Uber with SK she saw Raven messaging him to ask who she was.
SK allegedly told Hannah “I told you I was going to handle it.”
She claims that she decided to let it go again and in May 2022, she invited SK on a Cabo trip. According to Hannah's text message screenshots, SK also visited her in August of the same year and invited her to Miami that September, but the trip fell through.
'Love Is Blind' and its reunions were filmed between May 2021 and October 2022, meaning SK and Raven were together when the alleged cheating occurred.
According to an Instagram story shared by fellow season 3 cast member, "Love Is Blind" was filmed in May 2021, "Love Is Blind: After the Altar" was filmed in August 2022, and the reunion was filmed in October 2022.
Another woman also claimed to have dated SK while he was with Raven.
Days before Hannah's post, videos appeared from a user @emmwho9 who has since deleted her videos but fans were quick to record her posts.
“Put a finger down if you went on a date in April [2022] with a guy from Hinge and then you actually see he’s on the show ‘Love is Blind’ and that he met you after the show was filmed but is still with the same girl right now,” the user said.
Raven claimed she learned SK cheated on her when these TikToks were shared.
In a February 16 episode of Nick Viall's podcast, "The Viall Files," Raven revealed that she first saw the TikTok shared by @emmwho9 and initially passed it off as a harmless Hinge date while their relationship was still on-again-off-again.
She believed SK's excuses until Hannah Beth's TikTok emerged days later. Raven was with SK in Dallas, where they were living together at the time, and they even watched the video together.
Raven revealed that, while she wasn't back with SK yet, she was even invited on the trip to Ibiza that he ended up going on with Hannah Beth.
She clarified that she and SK were "solid" by April 2022 — a month before SK went on a trip to Cabo with Hannah Beth. A week before the trip, she had even gone to New Orleans with SK to meet her mom.
"The next weekend he went to Cabo with her. [He] told me he was in school the whole time. I was, like, texting him, talking like normal."
In a joint statement on their Instagrams in November 2022, Raven and SK confirmed they had broken up after the cheating rumors.
“We are saddened to announce that we have decided to go our separate ways,” the statement read “Due to on-going legal proceedings surrounding these allegations, we can not provide additional details and ask that you please respect our privacy during this hard time.”
The statement concluded, “Thank you for following our love story and believing in us. This journey has forever shaped our lives and we are so grateful for everyone who has been a part of it. Your love and support means everything.”
SK denied the cheating allegations.
After the allegations emerged, SK came back with another Instagram statement.
"Dear LIB Family," he began. "Raven and I left the Love Is Blind altar as single individuals who went back to dating other people."
"These allegations have been falsely misrepresented with malicious intent to extort, and we are actively pursuing legal accusations against the accuser."
While speaking on Viall's podcast, Raven claimed that Hannah Beth asked SK to send her $300,000 in order to delete her allegations.
“We’re taking things like [a] day at a time, you know just working our way through things and I’m excited about the future,” SK said.
