According to the woman who said to have been his girlfriend and based on verified text messages between Trevor and her suggesting that they were in a relationship.
True

Who is the woman? Also, where did you find the verified texts? A solid fact-check includes citations to where information is found as well as the relevant URLs. Thanks!

Do you have any links to these "verified text messages?" These messages may "suggest" they were in a relationship but that is not a reliable source, and it seems like this could be more biased than accurate.  I would try to find more sources. Maybe find a statement from Trevor Sova or from his "supposed girlfriend."

I would add more sources to your response to make your fact-check better. I would also go into more depth and thoroughly explain and label right at the beginning, true or false.

Who is this woman? Do we know if she is actually telling the truth if she is an important character in this story? Or is she just making up the story for attention? Do have the proof of the text messages? Many question, few answers. I would add sources to your claims in the future to make the fact checking process easier and full of less false information.

It is unsure whether or not this claim is true. At the current moment, it is just a rumor circulating on the internet, mostly via social media. The rumor includes Trevor Sova being in a secret relationship while filming season six of “Love is Blind.” Sova also supposedly talked with another man from the show beforehand and they established that neither was going to get married in the end. Two social media accounts, @storytimewithrikkii and @therealityashley, posted content on this rumor. Both include screenshots of texts between Sova and his supposed secret girlfriend, Natalia Marrero. They both include photos of the couple as well. It’s hard to tell if these images and screenshots are fake. Neither Trevor nor Natalia have publicly addressed these rumors and validated if the text messages (and relationship in general) were real. 

Chelsea Blackwell, a woman Trevor formed a connection with on “Love is Blind,” did comment on the rumor via social media. According to Entertainment Tonight, "Y'all we have to understand… we are humans," Chelsea wrote, posting a selfie with Trevor. "We have all made mistakes. Our lives went incredibly public very fast. All we can do is have grace. It's a very unfortunate situation. But I wouldn't wish this amount of hate on anyone. Remember to be kind" (Entertainment Tonight). It’s not clear if Chelsea knows that this is true about Trevor being in a relationship beforehand or if he has told her anything. 

This claim comes after several other members from “Love is Blind” season six have been scrutinized for potential secret relationships. It's also not the first time contestants from other seasons of “Love is Blind” have been questioned about their relationships via TikTok or Instagram. Until Trevor directly addresses these claims, it cannot be determined if it's true or not.

This is a great fact check, clear, concise, and detailed. You should add wether you think it is true or false, no available info, etc. I like that you used a ton of sources though!
by Journeyman (2.2k points)
Your fact check is very well written I liked the amount of detail and sources you put into stating that this claim is all just a rumor until Trevor addresses these claims. Along with that, I appreciate that you included that this has happened previously in the past with other members.
