Stephen Richardson, the Love Is Blind star who became infamous after his sleep-texting scandal, is putting his past behind him and stepping into a fresh relationship. The Washington DC native, who faced massive backlash following his controversial breakup with Monica Davis, has taken to Instagram to reveal he’s found new love.
In a series of intimate, cuddly photos with his mystery girlfriend, Stephen captioned the post simply, “Life lately,” keeping her identity under wraps. Though he didn’t tag her profile, many of his co-stars, including Leo Braudy, Tim Drake Godbee, Tyler Francis, and Ramses Prashad, flooded the comments with congratulations and surprise. But not everyone was convinced—some fans questioned whether this new woman was the same one Stephen had been texting while still with Monica.
Could this be the woman who received the infamous “dirty kink” texts? Stephen has denied any connection to the woman he had previously cheated with, claiming he hasn’t been in contact with her recently. But the mystery still lingers…
The ‘Sleep Text’ Scandal That Shattered a Relationship
Stephen’s newfound romance comes after his high-profile fallout with Monica Davis, which was sparked by an incriminating text exchange. Monica was heartbroken when she found not one, but several sexually charged messages on Stephen’s phone, including one that read, “No one’s ever been able to satisfy my kinks the way you do.”
Stephen initially insisted it was a one-time text, but Monica had a different story. She was devastated by the realization that the relationship had been anything but one-sided. Despite his apologies, the damage was done, and Monica ended their engagement.
Stephen Richardson Takes Accountability for His Mistakes
In a moment of raw honesty, Stephen admitted his past mistakes during the Love Is Blind reunion. He acknowledged his history of infidelity and expressed regret for his actions, saying he understood why Monica chose to walk away.
He took full responsibility, apologizing publicly and even sending a heartfelt letter to Monica’s parents. “I completely messed up,” he confessed, emphasizing that he was doing the necessary work in therapy to better himself.

While Stephen has found a new relationship, Monica hasn’t stayed single for long. She recently debuted a new mystery man on social media, sharing a photo of him cheering her on at a public event. The two have kept their romance low-key, but Monica teased her fans by hinting at more details to come.
For now, she’s enjoying a blissful Thanksgiving with her boyfriend, sharing cozy selfies and reflecting on her journey with a hopeful caption: “Everything happens for a reason. I love you so much.”
