The groom referred to his wife as a “f***ing idiot.”
Steven and Nelly have been navigating a strained relationship throughout the show, and the teaser for the upcoming episode indicates that their marriage will face intense scrutiny during a retreat with the other couples.
Grace can be heard telling Nelly: “I don’t think he’s genuinely trying,” before the camera switches to Maeave, who advises, “Just tell him, ‘I feel like you’re treating me like a f****** piece of s***,’” before returning to Nelly.
Nelly is heard shouting across the room: “I’m not you.”
The married couple is attending separate retreats with different members of the group, and in Steven’s camp, Leigh tells him: “I don’t think any of this is Nelly’s fault. You messed up.”
Steven is seen storming out of the room while calling the group “clowns,” as the voiceover states that the couple’s marriage “remains under fire.”
Nelly also leaves the retreat, quickly followed by Keye, who attempts to comfort her.
The couple's relationship was scrutinized during the recent commitment ceremony.
On Tuesday night, Steven appeared frustrated as he asked, “Why weren’t my feelings taken into account?”
Having none of it, expert Paul replied: “That’s a masterful deflection,” before firmly adding, “We are discussing your wife right now.”
The voiceover describes it as an “emotional make-or-break commitment ceremony” as Steven is seen breaking down in tears.
This follows Steven’s complaint to the cameras that Nelly desired too much kissing and hand-holding during Monday night’s episode.
He also recently met Nelly’s sister during in-laws week, which did not go well.
He recounted how he “muttered” under his breath, “f***ing idiot.”
Nelly’s sister was taken aback and cautioned, “You can’t accept that.”
Marriage Strain
The rift between Nelly and Steven emerged after Nelly revealed that while on a night out, he had admitted to sleeping with another woman just two weeks before saying “I Do” to her.
After this revelation during the dinner party, Nelly confronted her husband about rumors of him having a fling with a Z-lister prior to the experiment.
She explained how she had been informed that he was boasting about his encounter with the “Z-lister” and discussing intimate details before joining the show.
Angrily, Steven shouted expletives at his wife, saying: “F**k me, who the f**k said that?”
“People have heard it,” Nelly replied firmly.
She then added: “Do you know how it feels to have everyone tell you, ‘This is how Steven’s been behaving?’”
Steven snapped back: “Two weeks before an experiment, Nelly. Do you realize how f**king ridiculous that is to enter the experiment?”
Nelly responded: “Don’t take your anger out on me.”
Steven erupted again, exclaiming: “F**king clownish, man.”
In footage from the next episode following their dinner party confrontation, Steven hurled more expletives at Nelly.
He said: “I get tired of repeating the same thing,” during a heated argument in their bedroom.
Nelly replied: “You keep saying that,” to which Steven retorted: “Well, don’t provoke me then!”
Shocked, Nelly responded: “Don’t raise your voice at me,” before Steven replied: “F**king idiot.”
Heartbroken, Nelly stormed out of the room in frustration but later told the cameras in a confessional: “Why am I attracted to someone who treats me like this?”
This left viewers shocked and outraged by Steven’s treatment of the fan-favorite Nelly, with many criticizing the producers and experts for pairing them together.
One viewer commented on X: “My heart breaks for Nelly and her family watching this unfold. I truly hope she’s okay.”
