👋 Reality TV drama doesn’t end at “I don’t” — Joey Leveille is setting the record straight after his Love Is Blind ex Monica claimed he’s dating fellow cast- member Sara. “We have kissed before,” he admits, but insists they’re just friends despite that post-show spark. Last time I checked, friends that occasionally kiss might be more than “just friends…”

🔍 Love is Blind’s Messy Love Triangle, Explained
Season 8 of Love Is Blind may be over, but the post-show drama between Joey Leveille, Monica Danús, and Sara Carton is just heating up. After Monica claimed to Elite Daily that Joey and Sara were secretly dating, Joey exclusively tells Us Weekly they’ve only shared one kiss.
“We’re not dating,” Joey insists about his relationship with Sara, who was his #2 connection in the pods. “We are seeing each other in that we are good friends and supportive and we hang out, but we’re not dating.” The kiss apparently sparked a February conversation about potential romance, but they decided against pursuing anything for now.
Joey reveals surprising timeline details about his post-show relationship with Monica. After both saying “no” at the altar, they attempted a confusing month-long relationship that included getting intimate once before taking a two-month break. They later reconnected as friends until communication mysteriously stopped two months before the reunion.
What’s particularly confusing? Monica has been in a relationship since filming wrapped over a year ago. “I do not understand the animosity toward me because I would like to date someone at some point,” Joey says, defending his right to move forward.
The LIB star also cleared up several misunderstandings from the show, including his skateboard (“it represents healing”), his readiness for marriage (“I’m very ready now”), and even a previous Bachelor audition video (“my aunt applied for me behind my back”).

💍 Who Did Grant Ellis Choose on The Bachelor?
Grant Ellis completed his emotional journey as he chose Juliana Pasquarosa in a tear-filled Bachelor finale. The 31-year-old day trader got down on one knee with a signature Neil Lane emerald-cut ring, proposing to the 28-year-old client service associate from Newton, Massachusetts.
“I can see a forever love between us,” Ellis confessed during Monday’s finale before popping the question to an emotional Juliana. His big moment came after a tense goodbye with runner-up Litia Garr, who confronted him with “You’re different than I thought” before walking away.
And rightfully so…Grant shared no shortage of affirming words with Litia throughout the duration of the season, and as Litia explained at After the Final Rose, Grant was the one who continually “kept pressing the gas pedal” on their relationship when Litia wanted to slow down. Apparently, after their first one-on-one, Grant gave Litia a journal to write down all of her memories from the journey so they could read them together at the end, AND he made frequent references to ending the show early because Litia “was the one.” Not a great look.
Back to Grant and Juliana – additionally at “After the Final Rose,” the newly engaged couple confirmed that they’re relocating together to Boston and also accepted a trip for two to Italy from ABC. While Bachelor Nation celebrated this seemingly happy ending, the franchise dropped another bombshell. Jesse Palmer announced that several “Golden” contestants would join former Bachelor and Bachelorette cast members on Bachelor in Paradise this summer, with no new Bachelorette season on the immediate horizon.

Grant Ellis just dropped a new track…
