'Perfect Match' Season 2 star Alara Taneri calls out ex Stevan Ditter for ghosting her after Netflix show
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: What is Stevan Ditter's advice for a successful post-reality show relationship? "Don't try and date someone who lives in another country," the 'Perfect Match' star advised.
And this is what prompted Alara Taneri to cry while speaking with Netflix following their separation. Perhaps no one left the 'Perfect Match' villa on stronger footing than Stevan and Alara, whose connection never wavered once from their very first match.
But a long-distance relationship proved too difficult for the pair: Stevan calls Los Angeles home, while Alara was London-based once filming wrapped.
“We just really weren’t able to speak. By the time I was waking up, she was going to bed,” he explains. “I am not always on my phone like people think that I am. I barely post on social media, so it just didn’t work out in that sense.”
The communication gap strained relations between the two, who hadn't talked since Netflix's Summer Break event.
"I don't think she took that too fondly, which I don't blame her," Stevan adds. "It is a tough situation, but at the same time, I was true to myself and what I needed to do."
Stevan admitted that he didn't have the time to carry on a long-distance relationship.
During the event, nevertheless, Alara made a point of approaching Stevan for a much-needed talk.
'Perfect Match' star Stevan Ditter is in a new relationship
Stevan has since moved on to a new relationship, most likely closer to his home.
"I've been working heavily and seeing somebody as well," he informs me. "I'm just moving on with real life away from reality life."
'Perfect Match' star Stevan Ditter has no regret from his relationship with Alara Taneri
While Alara may not agree, Stevan says he's happy with who he was on the program and how he performed in the villa.
"From my recollection, I just stayed true to myself, and that's all I try to do every single day," he explains.
"That way, if shit does hit the fan, at least I can say that I made a mistake, rather than trying to act like something I'm not and regrettably do something."
Alara Taneri blocked 'Perfect Match' star Stevan Ditter
Alara, on the other hand, stated that the former couple had a fantastic vacation after finishing filming 'Perfect Match'. He assured her they would acquire an apartment together.
And then, "He ghosted me." This was new for her, since she admits she normally ghosts people, it doesn't happen the other way around.
Aalara further told Netflix that she was ready to move to LA or he was ready to visit London. He ended things over texts saying, "You deserve so much better."
A teary eyed Alara says she has a lot on her plate but at the same time, she has blocked Stevan.
