Love Without Sight: SK Feels Viewers Overlooked His Deep Connection with Raven: Unveiling the Untold Chapters

In season 3, fans had the opportunity to witness the love story between Sikiru “SK” Alagbada and Raven Ross. However, SK recently opened up exclusively to PEOPLE to shed light on why he believes the portrayal of their relationship on screen did not completely capture its true essence.

In season 3 of Love Is Blind, Sikiru “SK” Alagbada wants to set the record straight about his relationship with Raven Ross. They had their fair share of challenges, including struggles with physical intimacy and navigating their different backgrounds, cultures, and family dynamics. Meeting each other’s loved ones further complicated matters, as Raven’s friends questioned the feasibility of a long-distance relationship while SK planned to move to California for his Master’s degree.

Despite the obstacles, Raven said “yes” on their wedding day. However, it was SK who surprised viewers by admitting that he couldn’t marry her, despite his love for her.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, SK reveals that the show didn’t accurately depict their relationship. He expresses regret about how their story was portrayed, believing that the audience missed out on their true love story. According to SK, the narrative focused more on other subjects and incidents, leaving gaps in their journey for viewers who weren’t in the experience. He acknowledges that if he were an outsider watching the show, he would be left with unanswered questions.

SK mentions that from the beginning of their relationship, he and Raven had discussions about the possibility of maintaining a long-distance relationship. He insists that they were always on the same page, despite how the show portrayed it. In their initial conversation, SK informed Raven about his plan to pursue graduate school, to which she didn’t have any issues. They agreed to give long-distance a try, but acknowledged that it would be challenging.
SK further explains that his life has been very international, having lived in five countries so far. He anticipated the likelihood of having to relocate in the future, potentially even with children. He hoped to find a partner who would be open to traveling with him. However, he understood that Raven wasn’t ready to immediately uproot her life, and he didn’t hold it against her.
For SK, it was essential that love could thrive anywhere, regardless of their location. However, he recognized that they hadn’t had enough time to reach that level of trust and commitment. Asking someone he had only known for ten days to abandon their own dreams and pursue his own aspirations required a significant amount of courage from Raven. Ultimately, SK believed that they simply hadn’t reached that stage in their relationship yet.

During their wedding ceremony in episode 10, SK expressed his hesitation to say “yes” to Raven at the altar. He explained that their relationship was unique and complicated, and he didn’t think it was the right time to make such a commitment. This heartfelt confession brought tears to Raven’s eyes, despite her usually stoic demeanor. SK further elaborated in a private conversation that he would have felt guilty entering into a marriage with Raven when there were still unresolved questions lingering between them. Raven, in an interview with PEOPLE, confessed that she was completely taken aback by SK’s rejection. She admitted to being shocked, as she had not been shown as an emotional person throughout the whole experience. She acknowledged that it was an emotional day and that she was unprepared for SK’s decision. Despite their strong bond and optimistic outlook on their relationship, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of surprise and disappointment.

As Love Is Blind continues with its latest season, viewers are eager to see if four additional couples will take the plunge and exchange vows. This pivotal moment will reveal whether love truly knows no bounds. Furthermore, fans can anticipate an update on the status of all five couples’ relationships during the highly anticipated season 3 reunion.

Although SK and Raven did not ultimately tie the knot on the show, it seems that they have managed to maintain a cordial relationship. In fact, Raven recently took to Instagram to share a heartfelt birthday tribute for SK. She expressed, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To the most remarkable man I have ever known. You have taught me invaluable lessons about love, patience, and vulnerability. Our encounter in the pod was an immense blessing, and the bond we forged there has forever altered the course of my life. I am confident that this year will bring you nothing but joy. Enjoy your special day, as you truly deserve it 🤍.”
