Love Is Blind star SK Alagbada has hit out at ex-fiancée Raven Ross for discussing his infidelity in the show’s reunion episode.
Last year the couple were hit by viral cheating allegations after a woman claimed in a TikTok video that he had an affair with her.
While SK initially denied the claims he later confessed that he had an ‘inappropriate’ conversation with another woman during their relationship.
During the After The Alter episode – filmed a year after the experiment – the couple were filmed prior to the allegations coming out, with SK seen proposing to Raven again as they vowed to make their relationship work after he left her at the alter at the end of the initial experiment.
Yet Raven later shared a tearful video in which she explained they had split, with the self-filmed footage shown in the episode.

In the clip, she sobbed: ‘That really sucks. I don’t even know. since then a lot of things have changed. my world is completely different because SK cheated on me now our relationship is over.
‘It’s so crazy to watch back and remember my feelings then. I was so happy. I really was so invested in this person that everyone saw and loved. That’s the person that I saw and I loved every day too.
‘So to see everything that’s happened is so hard because that’s not the person I thought I was with.
‘I cannot imagine opening up to someone like I did to SK. That’s always been my personal challenge.
‘It’s a blessing in disguise and I can take that into another relationship and I know in my heart I still believe in love – but this is someone that I trusted – I know love is coming for me.’
However SK, who denies ever ‘physically’ cheating on Raven has hit out at his ex for the footage, claiming they’d agreed they wouldn’t comment publicly on the allegations.
He told PEOPLE: ‘Raven and I had initially decided to not make an already-messy situation even messier, and just keep our personal private business away from being dramatized. That was the agreement we both had… we’re just not going to record it.
‘I did not know that Raven went behind [my back] and recorded that post-proposal reaction. So me watching that all over again for the first time, seeing it on-screen play out that way, I was really surprised, because I was like, “I thought we weren’t going to do this.”‘

He added that he saw ‘red flags’ after they rekindled their romance, claiming Raven was more interested in building her brand than settling down.
SK stated: ‘I’m saying this not to make excuses for my actions because the most honorable thing to do at that point would’ve been to end the relationship if I felt like we weren’t both in it.
‘But I did also see that we were both trying to put in deliberate efforts to make things work between us. It’s just important for me to let people know that this was not a case of a happy, problem-free relationship that I just messed up for no reason.
‘Our relationship had serious, real-life challenges, coupled with the pressures of doing this in the most public way possible and trying to do something on our own terms, that made things very difficult.’
The decision to rekindle their romance came after fans were left completely shocked when SK decided not to go through with their wedding.
After saying ‘I do’ at the altar, Raven was left completely devastated when SK did not exchange the same vows, instead walking away from their ceremony.
As there was a long pause before he gave his answer, SK’s mother Adeola could be seen hopefully mouthing ‘I do’, before looking disappointed as he gave the opposite answer.

Explaining his shock decision at the altar, he said: ‘Today Raven, we both know how we feel about each other, I love you. However we have a very unique and complex set of circumstances.
‘I feel like today is not the best time for us to do this.’
Despite Raven’s devastation, the pair shared a hug at the altar before Raven walked away from the ceremony.
In a sweet moment afterwards, SK’s mother Adeola visited Raven in her bridal suite and gushed about how she ‘loved her’, lending her support at the difficult time.
‘I just want to let you know, I like you, I love you so, so much! I would have wanted this to happen today, but I don’t know what SK means,’ Adeola said.
After the ceremony, SK admitted that he knew he risked losing her forever because of his decision, with Raven admitting her upset with the outcome of the wedding.
During the first reunion show, filmed shortly after the experiment ended, the couple revealed despite being around a three-hour flight away from each other, the loved-up couple confirmed that they were making it work, with Raven gushing over their ‘beautiful’ relationship.
In the series, the couple had found the prospect of a long-distance marriage challenging, as SK had committed to going back to study in California, while Raven lives in Dallas.
Speaking about the challenges of long distance, she said: ‘Our communication, I think I can speak for both of us, we’ve never been on this level in any other relationship like, every time I think we reach a new level, nothing’s perfect but we’ve grown so much from this experiment.
‘Being apart, it makes it so much better when we’re together. Of course, I would prefer to be with him every day but we’ve grown so much from it and it’s really beautiful to do that.’
In December a woman named Hannah claimed to have been in a relationship with SK during the time he was appearing on Love Is Blind.
Shortly after her TikTok video went viral, the couple shared a joint Instagram statement announcing their split.

SK then released a statement denying the allegations.
He told Life & Style: ‘At no point did we [Hannah and SK] consider each other boyfriend and girlfriend. She is not my ex… The situation between Hannah and I was never formal.’
Stating the that path of his relationship with Raven was ‘never straightforward’, SK insisted: ‘A lot of people have misconceptions about the timeline of our relationship.
‘When Raven and I left the altar, I went about living my life as a single guy and she went about living her life as a single woman.’
