Uche Okoroha is finally breaking his silence about the behind-the-scenes drama of Love Is Blind season 5—and he’s not holding back. While Uche missed the reunion episode due to a business trip, he took to Instagram to share his side of the story, addressing questions about his controversial text to Milton Johnson on the day of his wedding to Lydia Velez Gonzalez.
The Text That Sparked Debate
Fans were buzzing during the reunion when Milton revealed that Uche texted him on his wedding day, only to be met with silence. Now, Uche is clearing the air. “Off camera, Milton is more open with his emotions,” Uche explained on Instagram. He revealed that three days before the wedding, he and Milton had a video chat where Milton allegedly “expressed some serious concerns.”
The text Uche sent on the big day? It wasn’t about stirring up trouble with Lydia, Uche insists. “The text was to congratulate him and follow up on these concerns,” he clarified.
Milton Stays Silent, But Strong
During the reunion, Milton didn’t mince words about the message. “He’ll occasionally still text,” Milton said, adding that he doesn’t respond. “The day I got married, he said, ‘Hey, man, heard you got married. Wanna talk about it?’ No purpose, no point.”
Despite the drama, Milton and Lydia remain the only couple from season 5 to tie the knot, and they’re still going strong. Milton stood by his wife, praising her resilience in the face of criticism. “I’ve never doubted my wife’s intentions,” Milton told ET. “She’s gone through so much adversity that she’s just rolling through it.”
Lydia Speaks Out
For her part, Lydia maintains that her intentions on the show were genuine, despite the backlash. “I know who I am, and my intentions were pure and genuine,” Lydia shared with ET. “I don’t have anything to prove to anyone besides myself.”
Uche’s Role Behind the Scenes
While Uche was a divisive figure among the cast, he claims he often served as a sounding board for others, including Milton. “Many of the guys came to me for advice and guidance,” Uche wrote. He also revealed Milton’s pod nickname, “Milk,” which raised eyebrows among fans.
What’s Next?
The lingering tension between Uche, Milton, and Lydia adds another layer of complexity to the show’s already dramatic fifth season. Fans are left wondering: Were Milton’s pre-wedding concerns a fleeting moment of cold feet, or a deeper hesitation about his relationship with Lydia?
As season 5 of Love Is Blind continues streaming on Netflix, the drama shows no signs of slowing down. With lingering questions about loyalty, intentions, and trust, it’s no wonder this season has everyone talking. Stay tuned—because in the world of Love Is Blind, the story is never truly over.
