One of the more polarizing participants on the Ohio-based Season 10 of “Love Is Blind” has been making waves in and out of the pods.
Steven Sunday, 32, is from Reynoldsburg and works in finance with an insurance agency.
Following the cast announcement, a woman accused Sunday of sexual assault through her social media accounts. Sunday has denied the allegations and filed a lawsuit against the woman in Franklin County Common Pleas Court, accusing her of defamation.
The woman has not responded to multiple attempts by The Dispatch to speak with her. Sunday’s attorney did not immediately respond to a Dispatch request for comment on the lawsuit.
According to the allegations the woman made and Sunday’s lawsuit, the sexual encounter between the two happened in May 2025, after filming for “Love Is Blind” had finished.
No criminal charges have been filed and the woman said in her posts she did not file a police report after the incident.
What happens with Steven Sunday on ‘Love Is Blind?’
Note: This section contains spoilers for Love Is Blind season 10.
Sunday only appears in the first of six episodes released Feb. 11. He’s primarily shown talking to Emma, and the two initially seemed to hit it off.
The connection didn’t last. After Emma opened up about her childhood, Sunday offered to cheer her up by detailing his first kiss and losing his virginity. He peppered Emma with questions about her own experiences, at one point calling her a “late bloomer,” even though Emma clearly didn’t want to discuss it.
Sunday got defensive when Emma shared how she felt about the exchange. She broke things off with him and later got engaged to Mike.
Emma goes on to get engaged to another participant in the show.
