The men of Love is Blind season 6 are going through it. After a thoroughly messy season 5, fans of the series were looking forward to a tamer and more typical season 6, but that’s not what we’re getting. While the behind-the-scenes elements of the show seem to have seen a major improvement, there’s still much to be desired when it comes to the cast.

There are always a few villains in Love is Blind, but it seems that this time around, nearly every man in the lineup was going for bad guy status. Clay’s red flags could line the Pan-American Highway, Jeramey’s already lying to Laura, and Kenneth seemingly has no interest in actually spending time with his short-lived fiancée, but all of those misdeeds pale in comparison to new rumors cropping up about Trevor.

Yeah, you read that right. Teddy bear Trevor, the sweet, mulleted muscle man who matched with Chelsea and barely missed out on popping the question. The guy we all thought was better for her than Jimmy, and with whom we desperately hoped she’d eventually reconnect. Damaging rumors about an alleged relationship are souring people’s once-stellar opinions of the reality star, but you never know what to believe online.

Was Trevor really in a relationship during Love is Blind filming?

Trevor was a quick standout in Love is Blind season 6, particularly as he and Chelsea started to bond in the pods. He emerged as one of viewers’ favorite participants, and a number of Love is Blind fans were devastated when Chelsea chose to accept Jimmy’s proposal instead of waiting for Trevor.

Trevor left the show after Chelsea broke up with him, but it seems he may not have been going home to an empty house. In the wake of the show’s second drop of episodes, text messages allegedly shared between Trevor and his ex-girlfriend arose, and painted a very different picture than what Trevor initially laid down. It seems, based on the text messages, that Trevor was already in a relationship before he entered the experiment. The text messages indicate that his girlfriend at the time was in full support of his participation on the show, and may have even worked with Trevor to plan out the best storyline to get him airtime.

They’ve since broken up — reportedly just two weeks ahead of the season’s big debut — but quite a few people are convinced that Trevor’s heart was already taken while he was on the show. He may have had a lady patiently waiting at home while he was bonding with Chelsea, and that’s seen his popularity take a major hit.

Are the viral texts real?

Another day, another Love Is Blind Cheating scandal. 👀🫖 Apparently Trevor was in a serious relationship when he went to film Love Is Blind Season 6 and had no intention on ever marrying anyone. In fact, he told his girlfriend in these text messages that he planned on marrying her when he got back.👀 WOW!! What do you guys think of these messages? #loveisblindtea #loveisblindtok #loveisblindnetflix #loveisblindtrevor #loveisblindcheatingscandal #loveisblindseason6

Its necessary to note that you never know what’s real on the internet, and its entirely possible that the circulating texts are faked, but there are a few details that make them more believable. The dates align with the show’s filming schedule, for one, with initial texts about Trevor heading to the pods falling on March 26, the day filming began. Other dates also make sense, based on Trevor’s tenure in the pods, with his following text going out on April 5, which is likely the day he and Chelsea broke up.

Other minor details align with what Trevor has revealed in the wake of the show as well, like that his dog — also named Chelsea — passed away the same day he left the show. That, paired with timestamped pictures of he and a woman who appear to be together just weeks ahead of the show, has many people convinced that Trevor was in a relationship the whole time he was chatting up Chelsea.

What has Trevor said?

Trevor was forced to address the rumors when he appeared in the season 6 reunion on March 13. After enduring a public breakdown of the texts that spread online during the season, Trevor was given the chance to explain himself. He botched the process pretty spectacularly, but in the process seemingly confirmed that all the rumors were true.

Visibly uncomfortable, Trevor admitted that he had an entire speech planned, but it clearly vanished from his mind the moment his deeds were laid out in front of him. Trying to wriggle his way out of blame by noting that he never officially asked his ex to be his girlfriend — and convincing exactly no one — Trevor then pivoted to explain that he was simply looking to switch things up. His ex is apparently his typical type, and he wanted to see if he could find something more unique.

At least Trevor admitted that he is toxic during his fumbling response, but he didn’t win back many fans during his brief time on the reunion. He did at least confirm the veracity of the rumors, however, and assured Chelsea that — should she have any specific questions — he’d be happy to provide some closure for her. Since she’s the one most affected by his attempt to game the system, we can at least be grateful for that.
