Love Is Blind Reunion Shows Ashley Defend Tyler Over Baby Revelation

As a seasoned observer of reality TV relationships, I must say that the tumultuous journey of these lovebirds is nothing short of captivating! It seems as though they are navigating their romantic lives with as much drama as the scriptwriters of a soap opera.


Ashley Adionser is willing to turn a blind eye to the drama.

It appears that the former participant of “Love Is Blind” made comments addressing rumors that had been spreading about Tyler Francis, who she married in the show’s season seven finale. The rumors centered around the fact that Tyler allegedly has three children conceived through sperm donation, a surprising revelation made shortly before their wedding.

Ashley asked during the October 28th trailer for the reunion special (airing October 30th), “Who has a clearer understanding of what’s happening – social media or myself?

Regarding Tyler, who has been criticized for not openly discussing his family dynamics, especially his relationships with his two daughters and son, he preferred to keep that aspect of his life private. In a subsequent statement, he expressed, “I don’t need to explain myself to anyone except Ashley.

As a lifestyle expert looking back, I must confess that, at first, I found myself questioning the bond between Ashley and Tyler following his confession during the reunion. However, it seemed that Ashley was standing up for him in those tense moments.

During the seventh season’s ninth episode, Ashley expressed her confusion to him, saying, “Our communication was so good, yet I can’t fathom why you chose to reveal such a shocking secret just two weeks before our wedding. I keep revisiting our conversations, trying to find where this could have been discussed, and I’m left wondering, ‘Why?’

She commented that she didn’t mind his attempts to assist a couple in having children. However, she expressed that there was a concern about her not fully understanding him.

Tyler realized why she might have harbored doubts earlier, as he made it clear that the “absolute last thing” he desired was to jeopardize her trust in him.

In that pivotal moment of our discussion, I found myself expressing not an apology, but rather a humble request for another opportunity. You see, my deepest desire is to walk down the aisle with you, to build a family together, and experience life’s beautiful journeys side by side. I assure you that I will do everything in my power to make you feel cherished, comfortable, and secure.

Tyler added, “At the end of the day, like I said, I respect you and I want you to be happy.”

Love Is Blind’s seventh season reunion will stream on Netflix at 6:00 PM Pacific Time/ 9:00 PM Eastern Time on October 30th. For updates on couples from the series who walked down the aisle or went their separate ways, continue reading.

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

 

Previously, Brittany explained to People magazine alongside Leo, “Our connection simply didn’t develop as expected.” Over time during the trip, they both discovered that the connection wasn’t forming and they mutually acknowledged it. They are excellent communicators, so this understanding was smooth and straightforward, without any complications. It was a mutual, clean, respectful recognition of the situation.

Monica discovered shocking explicit text messages exchanged between her partner Stephen and another woman, which led to an abrupt end of their relationship upon returning from Mexico. In response, Stephen expressed remorse immediately after the incident in episode eight, as well as posting a statement on social media following the broadcast.

 

He expressed on Instagram Stories on October 8th that he hoped he didn’t cause anyone distress just by being around, and if he did, he apologized for disrupting their day. He also wished they didn’t have to wake up at all. Nevertheless, he assured them he would continue to love them the same.

After Hannah and Nick started living beyond the pods, they experienced a mix of good times and bad, including numerous disputes – to put it mildly. As one might say, “You’re considered equally only when you start contributing equally.

 

Everything culminated at the point when Hannah chose not to walk down the aisle with him, and for Nick, their split 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.

During her appearance on The Viall Files podcast in October, she admitted to having gained valuable insights and identified areas for improvement. For instance, she recognizes her straightforward nature, yet acknowledges that her method of communication could use refinement. She emphasized the significance of delivery, suggesting that it holds great importance.

By the time they returned to Washington, D.C. from Mexico, it appeared as though Alex and Tim had resolved their significant disagreement and were stronger than ever. In truth, Tim even held a heartfelt conversation with Alex’s father which seemed to secure their future together.

 

After Alex’s encounter with Tim’s family, they had another disagreement which led to Tim ending their engagement, stating he didn’t wish for any further contact with Alex. Following the breakup, both parties have expressed their views to justify themselves; Alex clarified that their separation was not a joint decision.

Indeed, as you’ve seen, Marissa and Ramses were among the top contenders in this season’s relationships. However, unfortunately for them, Ramses ended up postponing their wedding due to some doubts he developed.

 

Marissa expresses enthusiasm about their shared future together and proposes marriage, to which her partner replies, ‘I grasp that love can be a gamble, I get it.’

 

Yet, he pointed out their differences, particularly his views on military matters, might not be sufficient for them to find common ground. “Having experienced marriage and listened to others who are married,” he continued, “I simply don’t believe love is enough…I think there must be other factors that are also harmonious.

 

Regarding Marissa, despite her efforts to move past it, once she realized the situation was over, she couldn’t hold back tears. “I wish you hadn’t come along,” she said to him. “How could I have been so certain, and yet you weren’t? It’s terrible. I wanted you to pick me,” she continued, expressing her feelings about their separation. “Today has been the worst day of my life,” she added.

In a scientifically-fated coincidence (or those seemingly meant-to-be tattoos), Taylor and Garrett immediately connected, with their union feeling predestined since day one. However, they encountered a momentary setback when Taylor discovered he had responded to his ex’s DM (Garrett claimed he confirmed his engagement and ended the conversation). Yet, that incident became merely a blip in their romantic narrative, as it eventually unfolded into a heartwarming tale reminiscent of the popular show, “Love Is Blind.

 

Tyler and Ashley’s relationship was widely appreciated by viewers as their uncomplicated romance progressed. Yet, a challenge emerged in their journey when it was revealed that Tyler had three children. Ashley referred to them as his “babies conceived through sperm donation.” (There has been discussion online about the extent of his parental role, which he has not commented on publicly).

 

Fortunately, Ashley and Tyler managed to overcome that issue and ended up not just reconciling but actually getting married and becoming a couple.

Tyler, seated next to Ashley following their wedding, reflects, “Two months into this adventure, it’s safe to say our lives have been irrevocably transformed.” He continues, “And now, we get to share the remainder of our lives together.

 

Concerning Ashley, she’s absolutely thrilled. She expresses, “I eagerly anticipate the small, everyday moments with you,” to which Tyler replies, “It’s those tiny things that bring her joy, day by day, week by week, month by month, and before we realize it…

 

Ashley then guesses, “Kids?” to which he agrees and she confirms, “Yeah I’m fine with that.”

Following a handful of disputes over the course of the season, it seemed that Chelsea and Jimmy managed to resolve their differences during a pre-wedding outing to an amusement park.

Nonetheless, it was apparent that Jimmy wanted their roller coaster journey to conclude, as he ended his engagement with Chelsea, leaving her in tears due to the unexpected decision.

On our special date, Jimmy confided in me, “I’m utterly smitten by you, and I yearn for a bond that goes beyond friendship. Yet, I long for this connection to flourish, but the thought of marriage leaves me uneasy. I simply can’t.

He clarified that they’ve boiled it down to a single point of contention, yet it encompasses five or six significant matters that have deeply affected him emotionally. One of these issues was when Chelsea disclosed Jimmy’s past relationship with his female friend.

After another round of discussions about their past relationships, Chelsea departed tearfully, expressing her disappointment: “I had such high hopes for us.

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 was strong enough to overcome any obstacles and things appeared to be going smoothly for them.

However, when it came time for him to make a lifelong commitment at the altar, Clay chose not to, explaining to AD that it wasn’t prudent for him to marry since he wasn’t prepared yet.

Cue the shock.

He assured AD, “I’ll take care of the necessary work, and we’ll face this journey hand in hand. Regardless of what others might think or say, I recognize that I’m not yet prepared for marriage, and you deserve nothing less than the best. If I can’t commit 100 percent at this moment, I won’t move forward with you until I am ready…I can’t make a commitment just yet.

It became clear, causing AD to express emotionally, with tears, that the connection had been an unfortunate squandering of her “valuable time.

When it comes to Clay, he shared that both financial and emotional bonds significantly influenced his decision to leave. He candidly confessed, “I had to check if I was a husband,” to which the response was negative. He also questioned, “Am I deeply in love?” and again, found himself without an affirmative answer.

At the gathering, Clay admitted he had erred by wanting to date AD, yet she maintained ambiguity about whether she’d be open to reconciliation in the future.

AD admitted that she indeed went out on a few dates with her co-star Matthew Duliba following the completion of filming, however, they are not in a relationship at present.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share the heartwarming story of the couple who said “yes to forever” during season six – the dynamic duo, Amy and Johnny. Their beautiful ceremony was more than just a new start; it was a seamless blending of their families into one harmonious unit. A touching moment occurred when Amy’s father warmly welcomed Johnny’s sister into their fold, expressing his feelings of having “multiple daughters” now. This union truly embodies the essence of a successful and loving relationship.

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 was vibrant, but when they re-entered everyday life, their connection weakened and eventually faded away.

In my expert opinion, the dynamic shifted significantly upon returning home after our time spent in the pods. The passion and intensity we experienced there seemed to soften a bit as we adjusted back to our everyday lives.

Despite no longer being engaged, their friendship endures. Brittany expressed this sentiment during the reunion, stating, “The connection between us will persist forever.

Laura’s engagement with Jeramey reached its explosive conclusion when she discovered he had rekindled his relationship with fellow pod member, Sarah Ann Bick, during a social event. Following their heated argument, Laura asked Jeramey to move on or depart, using the phrase “kick rocks.

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 been intermittently seeing Sarah Ann for about a year now, starting from when they worked together on the show. However, they have parted ways since then.

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

In the fifth season, the couple faced several hurdles – among them being Izzy’s past relationship with Johnie Maraist and Stacy’s preference for fine dining over paper plates. However, Stacy stated that Izzy’s deception about his credit status was a significant factor in her decision to not get married.

Though Stacy didn’t utter “I do” at the altar, she nonetheless wished to continue in a relationship with heartbroken Izzy.

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

In my own words, I must express gratitude towards Izzy for helping me navigate through deeper emotional territories. However, I cannot confidently commit to our future with just a sense of uncertainty. I need more than “fairly certain” to make a lifelong decision.

Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.

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

Following an initial hiccup when it emerged that Lydia was previously involved with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s fellow pod-dweller, before the start of the show, only the geology enthusiasts managed to maintain their relationship throughout the entire experiment.

Lydia expressed her joy, saying, “Marrying is the fulfillment of my dreams. I’m overjoyed beyond words! Here, where I am now, I have everything I require. It feels like I’m back home, it feels secure.

As an analytically-minded individual, Milton concluded, “The analysis of all the data points indicates that this is the correct choice.

For this couple, opposites appeared to be drawn throughout the entire season…that is, until they reached the alter. Noticing Paul’s uncertainty, Micah requested that he voice his decision first, and it turned out to be a refusal for marriage from Paul.

1) Micah expressed, “I’m in such a mess, it feels like everything has gone wrong.” If Paul had proposed marriage, there is no doubt that Micah would have enthusiastically agreed.

During the reunion, Paul expressed regret for his remark made in a private interview, where he admitted struggling to picture Micah as a parent.

In Paul’s own words, he admitted, “I realize now I wasn’t fair in my previous statement. A more accurate reflection of how I feel might be expressing that I don’t envision us taking on the role of parents together.

After wrapping up the movie, the pair attempted to patch things up, but unfortunately, they couldn’t sustain their relationship. Paul clarified that their split was permanent during his visit to Micah in Arizona.

In the novel “After the Altar“, Paul disclosed that he had begun dating a new companion, who took pleasure in exploring new places and appreciated his culinary abilities. Later on, he made their relationship public on Instagram with eyelash stylist Geneva Dunham.

Although Kwame’s mother didn’t go to the wedding and some might find his talks with Micah questionable, who was also a podmate, Kwame and Chelsea were among the three couples who got married at the end of season four.

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

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

It’s said that love can be blind, but sometimes it takes a moment or even proposing to another person to understand you’ve chosen wrongly. That was Zack’s experience when he initially got engaged to Irina Solomonova; however, the couple split up during their vacation in Mexico.

Following Bliss’ request for another opportunity, the duo bravely disregarded the statistics and even Bliss’ father’s expectations, exchanging vows at the altar instead. (And, by the way, they didn’t simply watch from the sidelines, they danced their first dance to Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance,” a song that had connected them in the pods.)

Following the airing of the final episode, Zack posted a picture of the couple on Instagram accompanied by the caption “Enduring Happiness”.

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

It seems as if this LIB duo was destined for each other just like Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed in season one!

In the study, the eldest pair, consisting of Tiffany who was 36 and Brett who was 37, exchanged their vows, despite an unexpected wardrobe malfunction with Brett’s trousers not fitting correctly on their big day. Thank you, tailor Lucia, for your quick thinking!

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.

Yet, once the cameras were turned off, it was discovered that their past romance had reignited, as they were found to be dating once more during the season three reunion show.

Approximately a month ago, the couple made public their decision to part ways, citing ongoing legal matters regarding infidelity accusations against SK. In a joint statement posted on social media last November, SK and Raven stated that due to these legal proceedings, they cannot disclose further information. They requested privacy during this challenging period and expressed gratitude for the support and interest in their relationship.

Spectators looked on with concern as Jackie decided to offer another opportunity to Josh Demas, the fellow pod participant she had grown close to, despite previously being engaged to Marshall. She met up with him and ultimately ended her relationship with Marshall.

At the reunion, Jackie clarified the sequence of events. “Marshall and I had already parted ways before I encountered Josh at the coffee shop,” she explained. “It might seem as though I was unfaithful, but I want you all to know that I am not a cheater.

Later on, Jackie acknowledged the conclusion of her partnership with Marshall by admitting that she was responsible for her statements and deeds. She simply stated that they were not destined to be together.

Regarding Jackie’s relationship with Josh, they were dating and cohabiting as depicted in “After the Altar”. However, Jackie revealed on her September 2023 Instagram Live session that their relationship had ended.

Regarding Marshall, he shared with TopMob that following the competition, he had a brief encounter with another contestant named Kacia Clark. He clarified, “We made an effort,” Marshall said, “However, I decided it was best for me to step away and detach myself from everything related to that experience.

Following the altar, Marshall disclosed that he has been in a relationship with Dr. Chay Barnes for an entire year, and his wish is to spend eternity with her. Their engagement took place in December 2023.

Nancy and Bartise’s wedding at “Love Is Blind” was particularly heated, not due to the involvement of the bride or the groom.

In the season three finale, it turned out that while Nancy was eager to get married, Bartise wasn’t as sure about their relationship. This revelation didn’t go down well with Nancy’s family, who openly expressed their disapproval towards Bartise without apology.

As a lifestyle advisor, I’d put it this way: Bartise and Nancy’s relationship has had its ups and downs, oscillating between friendship and mere acquaintanceship. In a recent conversation with TopMob, I shared that we’ve gone from being close pals to barely exchanging words, only to find ourselves back at the starting point as friends once more.

In April 2023, Bartisse, previously seen on “Perfect Match,” revealed the birth of his child named Hayden. However, he has not disclosed the mother’s identity in a public setting.

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

Nancy is now involved in a new romance, though she hasn’t disclosed who her current partner is yet.

 

At the end of the season, viewers witnessed the nuptials of Alexa and Brennon, surrounded by their nearest and dearest.

With touching declarations, Alexa exclaimed, “You bring laughter into my life, stimulate my thoughts, and above all, bring joy to my heart.

2024 was a life-changing year for me, as my beloved idols shared the thrilling news of an upcoming addition to their family! In the heart of January, the world learned that they were expecting their first bundle of joy. Fast forward through the months of anticipation and excitement, and finally, in the warm embrace of July, Vienna Ziva Lemieux was born, adding a fresh beat to my adoring heart’s rhythm.

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

Throughout their romantic journey, there were frequent disagreements between them due to not always seeing eye-to-eye, which led to numerous misunderstandings. Despite reaching the wedding altar together, 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-worth.

Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.

He shared with TopMob News that despite encountering rough patches, we were managing and discovering calmer seas. He expressed optimism that we could carry on our journey even if we didn’t tie the knot on that particular day.

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

Regardless of the ups and downs experienced during their romantic journey, the couple remained optimistic about their bond and exchanged vows with joy.

Colleen explained to TopMob News why she decided to proceed with the wedding: “The moment I saw him crying and sniffing, I thought, ‘He’s mine.’ This made me certain that I would accept his proposal as soon as I witnessed him doing so.

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, “Are we considering dating in the future?” To which I replied, ” frankly, I’m not sure about the strategy. My suggestion would be to avoid online dating platforms for now.

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

It has been reported by TopMob News that Deepti is currently single, but there seems to be tension between her brother Sunny and someone named Shake on Instagram. In a joint post, Sunny and his partner Hina Merchant Vempati criticized 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 the fact that Natalie and Shayne didn’t get married during their stint on the show, Natalie confirmed to TopMob that the love stories depicted were completely authentic.

Natalie clarified that it’s not a reality TV show,” she said. “Instead, it’s an authentic portrayal of our genuine lives, emotions, and connections.

This is why Natalie felt deeply wounded when it seemed that Shayne had consented to appear in the spinoff series titled “Perfect Match” despite their efforts to rebuild their relationship following their failed marriage.

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

After completing the filming for ‘Perfect Match’, Natalie mentioned that she subsequently met Shayne, but eventually decided they should not rekindle their relationship.

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

On August 15, 2022, I made the heart-wrenching decision to take the legal step towards ending my marriage to Nick, in the very court that witnessed our union a year and a day after our fairytale wedding on the finale.

On August 17, 2022, they shared a joint statement on Instagram, saying “After careful consideration, we regretfully announce that we have parted ways and are starting the process of divorcing. Though our feelings for one another remain strong, our paths in life are diverging, and that’s all right. Arriving at this decision was not an easy task, but we will always hold each other in high regard and hope only the best for one another.

In the “After the Altar” spinoff, which premiered in September 2022, it was revealed that their friendship developed into a romantic relationship. However, Kyle shared not long after that they had parted ways, as the special was recorded prior to this separation.

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