John Shannon has admitted that he crossed a line in his marriage to Sarah Williams after exchanging graphic texts with a woman he met on a night out.
At the November 8 reunion of Love Is Blind season 11, John took responsibility for what happened, while Sarah explained why the messages became the final straw.
John said they were no longer together. He called the incident a “major breach of trust” and said, “it’s my fault.” At the Love Is Blind reunion, John said he had met the woman during a boys’ night out for Rob’s birthday, about six months earlier.

John said he sent about three graphic messages to a woman he met while bar-hopping. When host Nick Lachey asked, “Did you cheat on your wife?” John answered, “I guess so, huh? Yeah.”
He identified the woman as a stripper and an escort. He said she gave him her number, and he texted her later. John insisted nothing physical happened and said he did not sleep with her.
He also said Sarah knew about the messages. John acknowledged that Sarah had worried about his interest in attention from other women, calling it “a flaw that I can totally recognise”.
Sarah said she had raised those fears before the wedding. The night before the ceremony, she told fellow contestants Wilnie Louis and Aneha Singh, “This ends with him cheating on me.”
She said an earlier incident at a bar had made her uneasy about John’s behaviour.

Sarah said the texts were not the only problem in their marriage. She said John sometimes reacted quickly during disagreements, made hurtful comments, and called her dumb.
She explained that she constantly heard “negative things about myself” from the person who was supposed to love her.
John said he did not blame Sarah for leaving. Sarah acknowledged that he had started therapy and that she had seen positive changes in him.
Still, she said the messages were “the last thing” she needed to see to confirm her decision to end the relationship.
The pair were the only couple to marry in season 11. They married on March 27, 2025, and had separated by April 15, 2026, according to TMZ. Sarah filed for divorce in Massachusetts on June 4, 2026, citing an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, as reported by PEOPLE.
Love Is Blind Season 11 is streaming on Netflix.
