Less than a year after getting married, Love is Blind UK couple Sabrina Vittoria and Steven Smith have ‘split’.
The pair tied the knot last September after meeting on the Netflix dating series, however, but have now reportedly called it quits.
Their wedding, which was filmed for the show, was a legitimate ceremony, meaning they will need to get an annulment or divorce to be legally separated.
CrossFit gym owner Steven, 37, who lives in London, and marketing professional Sabrina, 35, from Belfast, were married in front of their friends and family during the show after dating sight unseen in the show’s ‘pods’.
However, after filming ended, distance is believed to have caused problems in their relationship.
The MailOnline has reported that their wedding day was ‘the beginning of the end’.

‘Sabrina and Steven committed to each other on their wedding day last year because they fell in love and hoped they could make it work,’ a source told the publication.
‘But after filming for the show finished, they started to learn things about each other that they hadn’t discussed while dating in the pods.
‘There were hurdles they struggled to overcome, like their difference in opinion about starting a family and where to live long-term.’

They added: ‘They are still friends and after going through a life changing experience together, will be bonded for life but their relationship is well and truly over.’
During the show’s reunion episode, which is released tonight, Sabrina tells her estranged husband that she feels like he ‘didn’t respect her’.
Netflix has released a clip ahead of the episode airing, which shows the pair clashing.

In it, co-host Emma Willis says: ‘Sabrina and Steven. You seemed like the perfect couple. What happened?’
‘I don’t feel like he respected me,’ she responded, before Steven was also seen saying: ‘A lot of the things that you are saying are not facts.’
Before meeting face-to-face, Steven proposed to Sabrina, but after they eventually met, the pair hit it off and quickly became one of the fan favourite couples.

During their time in the pods, the pair also connected over their love for their late grandparents, with each of them wearing jewellery from their loved ones who had each passed away.
However, they faced difficult conversations over their conflicting desires to have children and debating where they would live if deciding to stay together.
But speaking on their wedding day, Steven spoke about his love for his bride: ‘There’s so much I love about Sabrina, everything just fits and feels right. I know I’ve only known her for a few weeks, but I do know that I love her wholeheartedly.’
She added: ‘Marriage is a big deal. No one gets married thinking that they’re going to get divorced. The reality is this is real life, and this is forever.’
Metro.co.uk has contacted Netflix for comment.
The Love is Blind UK reunion is released tonight at 9pm on Netflix.
