Reality Stars Sara & Joey Stoke NYC Dating Rumors
Great, here we go again: Sara Mettler and Joey Miller, who both swore there was no romance, just provided a masterclass in backtracking by holding hands through SoHo last weekend. According to People Magazine, the Love Is Blind alums were spotted strolling from a café to a gallery on July 28, laughing like they’d invented inside jokes. This comes mere weeks after Sara labeled their connection “totally platonic” in an interview with E! News and Joey told Us Weekly he was “focused on work, not relationships.”
Let’s not pretend it wasn’t obvious. Mettler, 31, and Miller, 32, shared a flirtatious bubble on the Netflix set in July—only to backpedal faster than a rental e-bike by mid-August. Entertainment Tonight reported they insisted on “just friends” status during an August 10 press junket. Yet here we are, watching them cozy up over iced lattes at Bluestone Lane and matching black sunnies that scream “coordinated cover-up.” I told you so.
Sources confirm they paused outside a chic West Village spot, leaning in close enough to spark new gossip headlines. Page Six even caught Miller gently adjusting a strand of hair behind Sara’s ear—an action you don’t pull off with your strictly platonic pals. Sara later claimed to People she’s “grateful for Joey’s friendship” but wouldn’t rule out “something more down the line.” Translation: odds just shifted from zero to worth-watching.
Throw in a cameo at Jack’s Wife Freda, where they shared a single avo toast, and you’ve got yourself a full-blown dinner date—sorry, brunch is apparently the new dinner date for clandestine couples. Sources from Us Weekly add they left in separate cars around 4 p.m., likely to dodge paparazzi but also to maintain “friend zone” illusions. Cute.
Let’s break down the obvious: reality TV sparks chemistry, denials follow, then comes the public make-out tour. We’ve seen it with half a dozen castmates across every dating show ever. But will these two admit anything on camera? Probably not until they’re photographed kissing in Midtown—then I’ll reluctantly tune in to catch the confession.
For now, fans can re-watch season 5 highlights and dissect every lingering glance or lingering hug. Keep your popcorn ready, because if People and E! News agree on one thing, it’s that this story is far from over. And that, dear reader, is exactly why you stick to scripted dramas when you crave consistency.
