Ashley Adison and Tyler Francis Split After Love Is Blind Marriage Ends

Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis‘ affection might have been unseeing at first, but it failed to endure through the trials of time.

After just over a year of being married, the pair who fell in love and tied the knot during season seven of Netflix’s “Love Is Blind,” have decided to end their relationship. Ashley made this sad announcement publicly.

Following careful consideration, I’d like to disclose that Tyler and I have been apart for quite some time now, and we’ve both come to the painful realization that it’s best for us to part ways permanently. In a statement given to People on January 21st, I explained that despite my hopes for openness and harmony in our relationship, it appears our life paths are no longer coinciding, which unfortunately means I can no longer continue with this marriage.

Ashley emphasized that the decision to part ways wasn’t a hasty one. Instead, she characterized it as an essential step for her personal development and tranquility.

Ashley went on to say, “As this chapter concludes, I’ll forever cherish the moments and affection we experienced together. At present, I humbly request seclusion during these intimate, healing moments as I work towards crafting a fresh future. I appreciate your comprehension and backing.

In my fervor, I can’t help but reflect on the times when Tyler himself hinted at troubles in their family life, alluding to challenges surrounding his precious trio of kids, whom I deeply admire and empathize with.

In October 2024, he refuted rumors suggesting he had deceived Ashley regarding the true nature of his relationships with the children conceived through a donor, which he had only recently disclosed two weeks prior to their wedding.

During the seventh season’s ninth episode when Tyler was admitted, he asserted that he had no idea how his children appeared. But before the reunion episode, pictures of him with his supposed kids were leaked online on various social media platforms.

Tyler admitted during the October 2024 special that there are photos of him scattered about, “I had a friendship that got rocky with someone. There aren’t any rulebooks for this kind of situation, but I feel it’s important to let people know Ashley is aware of everything. This information may be new to the public, but it’s nothing new to us.

Ashley backed up the 35-year-old’s viewpoint regarding the dispute, pointing out that the entire discussion wasn’t captured on video.

According to Ashley during the gathering, it’s offensive for others to suggest that ‘She was taken by surprise’ or ‘She wasn’t aware’, implying a lack of understanding on my part.

Initially, the well-known art dealer proposed to the author of “Keeping Well” after a love triangle involving Hannah Jiles. However, after a brief engagement, they realized that it was more suitable for them to remain friends.

 

Previously, Brittany expressed to People magazine in an interview with Leo that “the spark” wasn’t present between them. “During our initial conversation, we discussed the potential of our relationship, but as time passed during our trip, it became clear that the connection just wasn’t there,” she said. “We both acknowledged this reality, and it was a smooth, respectful conclusion. As good communicators, we were able to navigate through this amicably.

Monica discovered shocking explicit texts exchanged by her fiancé with another woman, leading to an immediate end of their relationship shortly after returning from Mexico. In response, Stephen expressed remorse at the time in episode eight, while later posting an apology on his social media platform following the broadcast.

 

He expressed on Instagram Stories on October 8th: “I don’t want to cause anyone distress by being here, and if unintentionally I did, I apologize for disrupting your day. I wish it hadn’t happened at all. Yet, my affection for you remains the same.

After Hannah and Nick stepped out of the pods, they experienced a mix of good times and challenging moments, and there were certainly differences of opinion between them. (It’s also worth mentioning: “Equality is shown when one contributes as much as one expects to receive.”)

 

The situation reached its peak when Hannah chose not to walk down the aisle with him. For Nick, breaking up was one of the most painful experiences he’s ever had.

 

Since then, Hannah has admitted the show forced her to do some self-introspection.

In the October episode of The Viall Files podcast, she admitted to having gained valuable insights and recognized areas for improvement. For instance, she acknowledged her straightforward nature, yet mentioned that her approach could be more refined. She emphasized that the way information is presented, or delivery, holds significant importance.

Their union, a seemingly preordained one in the realm of scientific compatibility (or those coincidental tattoos), Taylor and Garrett found an instant connection from the start, as if they were meant to declare “I do”. However, there was a brief turbulence when Taylor learned he had responded to his ex’s DM (Garrett claimed he confirmed his engagement and ended the conversation). Nevertheless, this momentary hiccup became a minor plot point in their romantic tale, often referred to as “Love Is Blind”.

The pair were still married at the Love Is Blind reunion in October 20224.

 

Indeed, as you may have gathered, Marissa and Ramses were among the top couples this season, with a strong likelihood of staying together. However, in the end, Ramses decided to postpone their wedding due to some doubts he had.

 

As an overjoyed admirer, I gush, “Our future shines brighter than ever, and I yearn to spend it with you as my partner for life.” To which he wisely replies, “I grasp the essence of love’s unpredictability, I get it.

 

Nevertheless, he acknowledged their differences, particularly on military issues, might not be sufficient for them to reconcile. “Having been married myself and hearing from others who are married,” he continued, “I believe love isn’t the only ingredient… I think there must be other factors that are also contributing positively.

 

Regarding Marissa, despite her attempts to move past their views, upon realizing it was all over, she couldn’t hold back her tears. “I wish you hadn’t been here for this,” she says. “How could I have been so certain? And yet you aren’t? It’s awful, I wanted you to pick me.” She also mentions about their separation, “Today has been the worst day of my life.

Tyler and Ashley were soon beloved by many as they displayed a casual yet endearing romance. But their relationship encountered a challenge when Tyler revealed he had three children, a fact Ashley referred to as his “donor babies.” (There’s debate online about the extent of his parental involvement, an issue he has not publicly addressed.)

 

By the time they met again for the reunion episode in October 2024, Ashley and Tyler had managed to overcome that particular issue, not just rekindling their relationship but, amazingly, deciding to marry each other.

 

Tyler remarked, as he sat beside Ashley following their wedding, “Two months ago, we embarked on a journey that has completely transformed us.” Now, he added, “We’re blessed to have the rest of our lives to share together.

 

ashley later revealed that their marriage ended after more than a year, as they decided to part ways.

 

In early 2025, she shared with People magazine that Tyler and I have been apart for a few weeks and we’ve come to the tough choice of ending our marriage. Despite my hopes for open communication and mutual understanding, it seems our life goals no longer align, which unfortunately means I can’t carry on in this union anymore.

By the time they returned to Washington, D.C. from Mexico, it appeared as though Alex and Tim had resolved their significant disagreement and their relationship was stronger than ever before. In truth, Tim had a heartfelt conversation with Alex’s father, which seemed to strengthen their bond for the future.

 

After Alex had a meeting with Tim’s family, they found themselves in another disagreement. As a result, Tim decided to call off their engagement and asked Alex never to contact him again. Since then, both parties have made public statements to clarify their side of the story following the breakup. Notably, Alex has emphasized that their separation was not a mutual agreement.

After a handful of arguments spread across the season, Chelsea and Jimmy seemed to resolve their differences during a fun-filled outing at an amusement park, just prior to their wedding.

In my professional opinion as a lifestyle guide, it became evident that Jimmy had reached a point where he felt it was time to conclude our roller coaster journey together – ending his engagement with Chelsea, leaving her in tears of surprise and disbelief at his choice.

On their date, Jimmy expressed his deep feelings for Chelsea, saying, “I adore you tremendously and desire a committed relationship with you.” He added, “I yearn for this connection to succeed, but I can’t bear the thought of walking down the aisle. It’s not that I don’t want it; I just can’t do it.

In simpler terms, “He summarized the situation by saying that instead of multiple problems, there was one main issue, which was particularly impactful and caused him distress. (This included Chelsea disclosing Jimmy’s past relationship with his female friend).

Following another round of discussions regarding past relationships, Chelsea bid a tearful farewell, expressing her deep disappointment: “I had been so optimistic about our future together.

The pair were both single during the March 2024 reunion.

As Clay voiced his reservations about marriage stemming from his perspective on his father’s unfaithfulness, AD offered comfort, suggesting that their relationship would overcome any obstacles, leaving things looking positive for the pair.

In a heart-stopping moment when the prospect of declaring an eternal commitment at the altar was before me, I found myself saying “I don’t” instead, explaining to AD that it wouldn’t be prudent for him to tie the knot if he wasn’t prepared.

Cue the shock.

He assured AD, “I’ll put in the effort for us both, and we’ll face this challenge together. Regardless of what others may think, I recognize that I’m not prepared for marriage yet, and you deserve nothing less than the best. If I’m unable to commit fully at this time, I won’t take you there with me until I am ready…I can’t offer a yes just yet.

In a moment of emotional clarity, AD expressed, with tears streaming down her face, that the relationship had been an unfortunate squandering of her precious time.

Regarding Clay, he disclosed that both financial and emotional factors significantly influenced his decision to leave. He confessed, “When I looked at myself in the mirror, I asked, ‘Am I a husband?'” His response was negative. He also questioned, “Am I deeply in love?” Again, the answer was no.

At the reunion, Clay admitted that he had erred by wanting to date AD, yet she remained ambiguous about the possibility of reconciling in the future.

AD openly admitted that she went out on a few occasions with her costar Matthew Duliba following the completion of filming, but they are not currently in a relationship.

The pair from season six who agreed to an eternal commitment were Amy and Johnny. Not only did they mark the start of their life together with a beautiful ceremony, but they also effortlessly combined their families, as Amy’s father affectionately expressed that he now considers Johnny’s sister as one of his additional daughters.

As for Johnny, he too declared at his reception that his father-in-law was his “new dad.”

They were still married during the reunion episode.

Initially, Brittany and Kenneth’s love flourished, but after they re-entered everyday life, their relationship lost its spark.

Brittany shared with Life & Style that things changed significantly when they returned home to Charlotte. She believes their intense and passionate moments within the pods subsided a bit upon returning home.

Despite no longer being in a romantic relationship, their friendship endures as Brittany expressed during the reunion, “The connection between us, it’s something that will stand the test of time forever.

Laura’s engagement with Jeramey ended abruptly when she discovered that he had renewed contact with a fellow pod mate, Sarah Ann Bick, during a night out. Following a heated argument, Laura asked Jeramey to leave her alone.

But instead of that, he went off to ride jet skis with Sarah Ann. 

At the gathering held in March 2024, it came to light that Jeramey had an on-again, off-again relationship with Sarah Ann for about a year, starting right after the show ended; however, they’re no longer together now.

Laura is dating someone else, who she did not identify at the reunion.

In the fifth season, the couple encountered several hurdles, among them Izzy’s initial bond with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s strict demands regarding her lifestyle and dinnerware (no plastic plates allowed). However, it was Izzy’s deceit about his financial past that Stacy pointed out as the primary factor leading to their decision not to tie the knot.

Although Stacy didn’t say “I do” at the altar, she still wished to continue being in a relationship with a heartbroken Izzy.

“We’re at different spots,” he told her. “It really breaks my heart.”

Regarding Stacy, she was grateful to Izzy for helping her open up emotionally, yet she wasn’t completely confident about their long-term prospects. She stated that being “fairly certain” wasn’t sufficient for her to commit for the remainder of her life.

Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.

Season five’s sole success story came from arguably its most unlikely pairing. 

Initially facing difficulties following the disclosure that Lydia was previously involved with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s fellow pod-dweller, before the commencement of the show, the geology enthusiasts were the sole couple who managed to maintain their relationship throughout the experiment.

Lydia expressed her joy by saying, “Marrying him has made all my dreams come alive. I’m overjoyed beyond words! This feels like having everything I’ve ever wanted, and it’s just like being at home – it feels secure.

As an analytically-minded engineer, Milton concluded: “The entirety of the evidence pointed to: this is the correct choice.

For this couple, opposites seemed drawn together throughout the entire season, that is, until their wedding day approached. Noticing Paul’s reservations, Micah proposed that Paul express his thoughts first, and it turned out that Paul declined the proposal of marriage.

1) “Micah expressed that he feels as if he’s in complete chaos,” or

2) “Micah confessed he felt like everything was in shambles,” or

3) “Micah admitted to feeling utterly chaotic,” or

4) “Micah conveyed that he was a mess,”

all imply the original statement but with different word choices for emphasis and readability.

“If Paul had proposed, I wouldn’t have hesitated to accept,” or “Had Paul asked me to marry him, I would not have held back in my response.” These options convey the same sentiment as the original but use a more straightforward and easy-to-read phrasing.

During the gathering, Paul expressed remorse for his remark made privately about not perceiving Micah as a potential mother.

Paul clarified, “What I said wasn’t fair to her. A more appropriate way to express my thoughts might be, ‘I don’t see ourselves as being parents.’

As a die-hard admirer of their on-screen chemistry, I can’t help but share my thoughts about the dynamic duo. Despite briefly patching things up following the wrap of their movie, their romantic journey proved to be short-lived. In his own words, Paul confided in me that our beloved pair parted ways for good during his visit to Micah in the sunny plains of Arizona.

In “After the Altar,” it came to light that Paul had begun a relationship with a lady who took pleasure in both exploring new places and his culinary abilities. Later on, he confirmed their relationship status by posting on Instagram with eyelash technician Geneva Dunham.

Although Kwame’s mother declined to attend the wedding and some might find his discussions with Micah questionable, given their interactions in the pods, Kwame and Chelsea were among the three pairs who exchanged vows at the conclusion of season four.

At the gathering, Chelsea disclosed that she had recently met her husband’s mother. Meanwhile, Kwame expressed regret and apologized to his wife and her kin, admitting that his conversations with Micah weren’t the most accurate portrayal of him.

The couple is living in Seattle with their beloved dog Rocky.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: Love may be blind, but sometimes it takes a moment or even a fresh perspective—like proposing to another woman—to understand you’ve chosen the wrong path. This was Zack’s experience when he initially got engaged to Irina Solomonova, only for their relationship to crumble during their trip to Mexico.

Following Bliss’ request for another opportunity, the duo went against the odds (even disregarding Bliss’ father’s wishes) and exchanged their vows at the altar. (By the way, they didn’t just watch from the sidelines; instead, they danced to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” a song that brought them closer in the pods.)

Following the broadcast of their final episode, Zack posted a picture of the pair on Instagram accompanied by the phrase, “A Lasting Happiness” as his caption.

The couple shared in November 2023 that they are expecting their first baby.

It’s been a while since the match-up between Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed, reminiscent of season one’s LIB pairing, felt this perfectly fitting!

In the study, the eldest pair – Tiffany being 36 and Brett at 37 – exchanged their vows, despite an unexpected wardrobe issue with Brett where his trousers didn’t fit well on their wedding day. Kudos to Lucia, the seamstress, for coming through in a pinch!

Since filming wrapped, Tiffany and Brett moved to Portland and are still perfect! Phew!

After SK said “I don’t” at their wedding, he and Raven seemingly parted ways.

After the filming ended, it turned out that their past relationship had been revived. This was revealed during the season three reunion special.

Approximately a month ago, the pair revealed their decision to part ways, citing ongoing legal matters concerning infidelity accusations against SK. In a jointly posted statement on social media last November, SK and Raven stated, “Owing to the ongoing legal proceedings regarding these allegations, we are unable to offer further details at this time. We kindly ask for your understanding and privacy during our difficult period. Thank you for supporting and believing in our love tale.

Onlookers expressed concern as Jackie opted to provide another opportunity to Josh Demas, the fellow pod-mate she felt a connection with, by arranging a meeting with him, ultimately breaking off her engagement with Marshall.

During the gathering, Jackie clarified the sequence of events that took place. She explained, “Marshall and I had parted ways before I encountered Josh at the café. It seems like I was unfaithful, but let me assure you, I am not a cheater.

Later on, Jackie admitted to the conclusion of her relationship with Marshall, acknowledging that she was responsible for both her words and deeds. In essence, they simply weren’t destined for each other.

Regarding Jackie’s relationship with Josh, they were still seeing each other and residing together in “After the Altar.” However, Jackie disclosed during a live stream on Instagram in September 2023 that their relationship had ended.

Regarding Marshall, he shared with TopMob that following the conclusion of the show, he had a brief encounter with fellow competitor Kacia Clark. Marshall put it this way: “We gave it a shot,” he said, “However, I chose to maintain some distance from everything related to that experience.

Following the altar, Marshall confessed that he has been in a relationship with Dr. Chay Barnes for a year now, and he longs to spend an eternity with her. Their engagement took place in December 2023.

Nancy and Bartise’s wedding during “Love is Blind” was particularly dramatic, yet it wasn’t due to the involvement of either the bride or the groom.

In the final episode of the third season, it turned out that while Nancy was eager to get married, Bartise wasn’t quite as sure about their relationship. This news didn’t go down well with Nancy’s family, who openly expressed their disapproval towards Bartise without any reservations.

Regardless of the ups and downs, I can’t help but be enthralled by the rollercoaster ride that is Bartise and Nancy’s relationship. As I put it to TopMob, it’s like we go from being the best of friends, to barely knowing each other, to not communicating at all, only to return to our friendly bond once more. It’s a fascinating dance they do!

In April 2023, Bartisse, a former contestant on the show “Perfect Match”, revealed the birth of his child, Hayden. However, he has not disclosed the identity of the baby’s mother in public.

Several months later, he debuted his new romance with Cait Vanderberry on Instagram.

Nancy is currently involved in a fresh romantic connection, though she hasn’t disclosed the identity of her partner in public yet.

 

In the final episode of the season, spectators witnessed Alexa and Brennon exchanging vows before their dear ones during a wedding ceremony.

In touching promises, Alexa enthusiastically shared, “You bring joy with your laughter, stimulate my thoughts, and above all, you fill me with happiness.

In January 2024, the couple declared they were expecting their first child, and they happily welcomed their daughter named Vienna Ziva Lemieux into their family in July.

Well, we can’t say we’re surprised by this breakup.

During their romantic relationship, it appeared that Zanab and Cole often had differing views or misunderstandings, leading to various disagreements. Despite reaching the altar on their wedding day, Zanab expressed her feelings by saying, “You have shown disregard for me. You have belittled me. You have criticized me. And I must say, you alone have destroyed my self-esteem.

Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.

He shared with TopMob News that despite facing various challenges, he was optimistic about moving forward and discovering calmer seas. He expressed his hope that even if they didn’t get married immediately, their relationship could persist following the ceremony.

Colleen and Matt successfully exchanged vows in the season three finale.

Regardless of the ups and downs they experienced throughout their romantic journey, the duo remained assured about their bond and exchanged their vows with joy.

Colleen shared with TopMob News her decision to proceed with the wedding: “The moment he started crying and sniffing, I thought, ‘He’s mine.’ Therefore, I knew right then and there that I would be saying yes.

And for those wondering, Colleen confirmed, “A year-and-a-half later, we’re very, very happy.”

During the season finale, Sal wasn’t able to say, “I do.”

In an TopMob News interview, he revealed that he was single after filming.

He asked, “So, about dating in the future?” To which I replied, ” Frankly, I’m not sure of my strategy. I believe it would be wiser to avoid online dating platforms.

As we know, Deepti and Shake’s time on the show did not end with a happily ever after. 

It was reported by TopMob News that Deepti has become single, but there seems to be tension between Shake and Deepti’s brother Sunny, as well as his partner Hina Merchant Vempati, on Instagram. In a post, they called out Shake for making disrespectful comments about Deepti.

They continued, urging Shake to “stay the f–k away” from their sister.

Looks like Shake will be heading to his Nobu reservation alone! 

Despite Natalie and Shayne not getting married during their stint on the show, Natalie assured TopMob that the romantic narratives displayed were entirely authentic.

Natalie clarified, “This isn’t like reality television. It’s the raw, authentic portrayal of our actual lives, genuine emotions, and true connections.

Because of this, Natalie felt deeply wounded when it seemed that Shayne had accepted a role in the spinoff series “Perfect Match” during their efforts to rebuild their relationship after their failed marriage.

She shared on Instagram that he repeatedly messaged her during filming, expressing his desire to quit as he was still emotionally attached to her following our encounter at the reunion show taping. However, she motivated him to keep going with the shooting.

After completing the filming of “Perfect Match”, Natalie shared that she reconnected with Shayne; however, in the end, she chose not to reconcile with him.

Meanwhile, for a short while, Shayne found himself in a relationship with Chloe Veitch, whom he met on the dating show “Perfect Match,” following their connection there.

On August 15, 2022, Danielle initiated the divorce process against Nick in a Chicago court, over a year since their wedding on the finale.

On August 17, 2022, I found myself compelled to share some personal news with all of you via a joint statement on Instagram. It is with deep regret that I announce our separation and the start of our divorce proceedings. Although our hearts have always been intertwined, it’s become apparent that our paths are diverging, and that’s perfectly fine. Reaching this decision was not an easy task, but we will continue to support each other wholeheartedly and wish one another nothing but the very best.

In the spin-off series “After the Altar,” which premiered in September 2022, their friendship transformed into a romantic relationship. However, Kyle revealed a few days after the show’s release that they parted ways sometime after the special was recorded.

And in April, Kyle proposed to his girlfriend Tania Leanos, whom he did not meet in a pod.
