Love is Blind, but is it also a liar? Rumors are swirling that season 8 contestants Sara and Joey are dating. And who is propagating that rumor? Joey’s ex-fiancée, Monica.

Joey and Sara say they aren’t a couple …yet

March 13, 2025: We get that the Minneapolis dating pool is small, but thank God it isn’t small enough that the Love Is Blind season-eight cast members only have each other. Despite rumors, Sara Carton confirmed she isn’t (currently) dating Joey Leveille on a March 13 episode of The Viall Files. “I’ve seen this a few times online in the past 24 hours,” Sara said. “Well, to be clear, me and Joey are not dating.” But that doesn’t mean she’s not into the idea. “There was a love square between me, Monica, Ben, and Joey,” she said. “We were all talking to each other until the second-to-last day in the pods.” Unlike Ben, Joey did visit Sara in Nashville, along with five others. “I feel like me and Joey did establish a really great friendship,” she added.

The original rumor came from the March 11 episode of the Reality Receipts podcast covering the Love Is Blind reunion. “Apparently [Joey and Sara] were spotted in a hair salon together, and then people very close to the situation have confirmed that they are dating,” host Rikkii claimed. The podcaster said she wouldn’t be “surprised if they tried to come out and say, ‘No, we’re just friends,’ then six months from now, saying it evolved into a relationship.” Sara is definitely committing to the “just friends” part so far.

“This whole situation, I’ve felt very close with Joey,” Sara added on Viall Files. “I’m fond of our relationship, but I feel very well supported by all those involved. I’m just very grateful that I’ve met him, but, yeah, we definitely have a friendship. We’re definitely not dating.” Except … “I don’t know what the future will hold,” Sara continued. “But, I do know for right now, I definitely have no capacity to even think about a relationship.”

Monica says otherwise

March 19, 2025: Joey Levielle’s ex, Monica Danús is claiming her ex and her ex bestie are being very sneaky in their linkage. “I’m so sick of the lies. Just own up to it at this point,” Danús told Elite Daily. “I texted Sara, ‘I’m hearing a lot of things about you and Joey. Is there anything you need to tell me?’ And she called me and said, ‘Nothing’s official, but we are seeing each other.” She said they didn’t want to make anything official until any online hate dies down.”

“It’s a betrayal, and it’s very hurtful,” Monica said. “It’s no surprise from Joey — I don’t think very highly of him, and I don’t want him in my life. But I’m hurt that Sara would do this to me.” Monica believes Sara and Joey have been dating for at least two months, though she suspects it’s been for longer: “All this time when I was venting to her about Joey and she was saying she had my back, she was actually with him.”
