Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis, stars of Season 7 of Love Is Blind, have broken up.
The couple met and married on the DC-based season of the popular reality dating show, which aired on Netflix last October.
“After much reflection, I want to share that Tyler and I have been separated for several weeks and have now made the difficult decision to end our marriage,” Adionser told Today. “While I had hoped for mutual understanding and transparency in our relationship, it has become clear that our paths are no longer aligned, making it impossible for me to continue in this marriage.”
“This was not a decision I made lightly, but one I know is necessary for my own growth and peace,” she continued. “While this chapter is ending, I will always hold respect for the time and love we shared. I kindly ask for privacy during this deeply personal time as I focus on healing and building a new future. Thank you for your understanding and support.”
Adionser and Francis’ relationship became complicated when Tyler revealed that he was the biological father of three children. He said on the show that he was a sperm donor for a friend, and that he had no relationship with the children.
It was later revealed that he was actually involved with the kids’ lives. At the reunion episode, which aired October 30, Francis acknowledged that he had stepped in to help with the children. Adionser defended him on air and said she was aware of the circumstances. At that time, the couple said they were still together and enjoying married life.
Season 8 of Love Is Blind, based in Minneapolis, airs on Netflix on February 14.
