Falling in love without seeing the other person is a daring choice that not many can handle. However, this is precisely the challenge contestants on Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind: UK‘ embrace. As they choose to tie the knot, they must first test their relationship in the real world. In the first season, Sabrina Vittoria and Steven Smith decided to take this significant step within just a few days of talking to each other through separate pods. Initially apprehensive about the experiment, they were both surprised by how quickly they connected and had no hesitation in pairing up for the season.
Sabrina and Steven Easily Talked About the Difficulties of Their Childhood
Sabrina Vittoria and Steven Smith entered the season from places of vulnerability. Sabrina had recently lost her beloved grandmother, Gigi, and felt the need for a partner during such challenging times. From their first conversation, Sabrina and Steven discovered they shared a common mindset and aligned values. Both prioritized meditation and spirituality, actively caring for their mental and emotional health. It wasn’t long before they began looking forward to their meetings, feeling something special bloom in their hearts.
Soon, they began sharing some of the most private and intimate parts of their lives. Steven told Sabrina about his tumultuous upbringing, where his parents frequently reconciled and broke up until they finally divorced when he was 16. Witnessing such instability, he was determined not to repeat the same patterns and believed that Sabrina could help him achieve a more stable life. Sabrina, in turn, shared how her father left her family when she was young, and it was only then that she discovered he wasn’t her biological father. This experience contributed to her trust issues with men, but she felt safe and secure with Steven. Recognizing their special bond, Steven proposed with a poem he had written for her, and she said yes. From then on, it was nothing but a smooth ride for them. Even on their wedding day, neither of them had any doubts. They reflected on how much they had helped one another grow and entered a new phase in their life bubbling with laughter.
Sabrina and Steven’s Marriage Did Not Work in the Real World
Sabrina and Steven are among the strongest couples of the season, demonstrating what true compatibility looks like to the audience. They effectively addressed questions about having children, that too in the pods, and even when they lived together, no arguments or skirmishes were big enough to not get resolved. Steven’s friends even noticed a distinct sparkle in his eyes when he introduced them to Sabrina, and her mother felt reassured about her daughter’s choice of partner after meeting him. However, the biggest hurdle the couple had in front of them was a long-distance relationship as Sabrina lived in Belfast and Steven in London.
Sabrina and Steven revealed during the reunion that they could not make their marriage work. Sabrina was very open about the difficulties she faced and said she tried her best. She felt she had made many adjustments to her life and actively worked on mitigating the uneasiness caused by the distance. However, she added she didn’t feel like Steven was making as many efforts, and that he even canceled on her two days before Christmas, which was embarrassing for her and her family. Steven ultimately replied that he didn’t think everything she was saying was true but that the long distance and their inability to communicate effectively did lead to them losing their spark. The two of them have set out in their own directions and are not even connected on social media. The chances of a reunion don’t seem to be there at all for this duo.
Sabrina Vittoria Has Been Enjoying Luxurious Vacations
Sabrina continues to thrive in Belfast, where she serves as the Director of Marketing and Communications for a prominent firm. Her career accomplishments are impressive, and her luxurious travels showcase her ability to balance hard work with well-deserved leisure. In May 2024, she embarked on a picturesque journey to Rhodes Island in Greece, soaking in the sun and culture. Just two months later, she savored the serene beauty of the Balearic Islands in Spain, living comfortably and stylishly.
Sabrina’s passion for fashion is evident in her impeccable sense of style. She never steps out without looking her absolute best, turning heads with her sophisticated and well-curated outfits. Her talent for fashion and a keen eye for detail makes her a standout wherever she goes. At 35, she is the epitome of a modern, successful woman who has mastered balancing professional fulfillment with personal joy. She takes pride in her achievements and relishes the freedom to explore the world in style.
