Wonder what she finds out next that causes her to leave? Temporary, just due to maternity leave?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Another said: &#8220;Wow, I didn\u2019t expect Ruby to find out today and tell Steph. I guess that explains why\u00a0Ross will kiss\/sleep with Manpreet again this week.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;The lie was probably so they would have a reason to break up again. I wonder if Steph will leave tmw.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>  Recommended Reading:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n  A third added: &#8220;I hope they are not going to use that as the big secret\/reason why Steph leaves. I get that she didn\u2019t want to be lied to and she doesn\u2019t feel like she can trust Ross, but it\u2019s Ross\u2026 girl he ain\u2019t worth it.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;Kidding aside, I know the actress is set to leave (for a while) but this would be a poor reason to use for why, imo.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  A fourth person penned: &#8220;Really don\u2019t understand why Manpreet would share she had a one-night stand with Ross to Ruby of all ppl.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I also don\u2019t see why it\u2019s such a big deal to Steph. She dumped him and he had a one-night stand.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Wednesday night, Ross Barton and Steph Miligan split up after only recently getting back together.
