Love Is Blind’s Ashley Exposes Tyler’s SHOCKING Secret!

Ashley Adionser is pulling back the curtain on her marriage.

Previously unspoken by the former participant of “Love is Blind”, this individual shared their account of events for the first time in its entirety, after parting ways with ex-husband Tyler Francis in January, amidst his involvement in a scandal surrounding sperm donation.

During the filming process, it was discovered that Tyler had fathered three children with a friend from home. Although he admitted to having donated sperm for all three children, as Ashley believed, the mother of his kids later stated that while he provided sperm for the birth of their first son, there was one instance where she and Tyler slept together, which resulted in her pregnancy with her twins.

Ashley shared with her LIB alum AD Smith on his “What’s The Reality” podcast that she uncovered the truth herself. However, she cautioned, “I need to be mindful of my language. This individual in no way deserves any compassion from me, and I have all the resources to bring him down, but it’s not how I operate. Although he drew me into this, I don’t want him to change who I am by making me behave contrary to my nature.

Regardless of Tyler’s assertion that he hadn’t interacted with the woman or their offspring for a significant period, the mother of his children was aware that he would appear on the program. They had convened together physically the day prior to his departure for filming.

Ashley stated that “he provided the sperm for our son; as far as I know, he is also the father of the twins.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’d like to share my perspective on a situation involving a reality TV personality. This individual revealed how the controversy surrounding certain events, and what seemed like Tyler’s deceitful account of those events, took a toll on their relationship. You may recall that they exchanged vows on the show, which makes this personal revelation all the more poignant.

Ashley observed that it affected their marriage right away, as she now finds herself doubting the individual she shares a bed with. She considers this uncertainty a terrifying sensation, not knowing what is real and what isn’t.

 

Despite Tyler allegedly not being in touch with the woman and their children for years as he claimed, it turned out that the mother of his kids was aware he would appear on the show. In fact, they had all met up in person a day prior to him departing for filming.

Regarding the method of their conception, Ashley stated, “He donated sperm for our son. As far as I know, he is the father of the twins.

Additionally, the former reality TV star discussed the impact the controversy had on their relationship, stemming from what appeared to be Tyler’s deceit regarding the incident, as they had gotten married during the show.

I found myself reflecting, “My immediate experience was that it shook the foundation of our marriage. Now, I find myself questioning the very person who shares my bed. This uncertainty about truth and falsehood is an unsettling, scary feeling.

 

She remarked, “This man is habitually dishonest, and as I looked at him, my thoughts were something like, ‘Who exactly are you?’ If loyalty and truthfulness, the cornerstones of marriage, aren’t present, then what remains?

Apart from her quick actions, Ashley briefly addressed anyone doubting her trust in Tyler’s initial statement, explaining why she chose to rely on him.

I mentioned, too, that what many didn’t realize is everyone trusted him. When the topic of the sperm donor first surfaced on camera, even the entire film crew was moved to tears. Later, people approached him personally, expressing their gratitude towards him for his selfless act.

When she discovered it wasn’t entirely accurate, the revelation negatively impacted Ashley’s view of her own decision-making abilities.

She clarified, “When I stated that I’m wise and intuitive, I wasn’t simply using those terms casually.” In truth, these are traits that describe me well. This situation, where he managed to evade my notice, was a real head-scratcher for me – a significant challenge in trying to make sense of how he could have gone unnoticed.

TopMob News reached out to Tyler for comment but has not yet heard back. 

Concerning Tyler, after the choice he and Ashley made to part ways, he expressed on social media, “I acknowledge complete responsibility for my part in the challenges we experienced,” furthermore, “I respect Ashley’s decision to advance, focusing on her tranquility and joy.

The romance between them didn’t get started when they arrived in Honduras, as Dave admitted he and his former fiancée shared acquaintances. However, it wasn’t their overlapping social circles that caused the issue; instead, it was Dave’s reluctance to proceed after learning Lauren had previously dated someone they both knew before the show.

To add to this, Dave was hesitant about introducing Lauren to his circle, as he hadn’t informed his father about their engagement yet and his sister, who had become a source of conflict, disapproved of their relationship entirely.

Among the most popular pairs this season, many fans expected Monica and Joey to walk down the aisle and embark on a lifelong journey together. Yet, during the wedding vows, instead of saying “I do,” Monica declared, “I don’t, at least not right now.

At this very instant, she expressed through her tears that it’s a full 100%, and to put it simply, we’re not completely at our goal yet. Joey echoed the same sentiment, nodding in agreement.

He reassured her after their hug, saying it was perfectly fine. He believed they both harbored a deep affection for each other, and this was evident. However, he felt there were greater things and opportunities for growth. In agreement with her sentiments, he acknowledged he wasn’t prepared yet. To be straightforward, he also admitted he wasn’t fully ready at the present moment.

Despite apparent differences regarding religious beliefs and political views that marked their lives together, by their wedding day, Ben and Sara appeared to have found common ground. However, in the end, they chose to part ways and conclude their joint journey.

Sara clarified her stance regarding Ben, saying, ‘Ben, my feelings for you are deep, but I’ve always desired a connection at an intellectual level. Unfortunately, that’s not the case currently. I regret if this comes across as confusing, but I don’t see a future with you.’

Later on, she mentioned, “The bond between us feels incredibly genuine, and my feelings are deeply involved. However, when we discussed many values that are extremely important to me personally, my rational side whispers that it just isn’t feasible.

A pair, Devin and Virginia, who appeared to be heading down a clear path, found harmony up until the discussion about a prenuptial agreement arose between them.

However, more substantial problems arose, which eventually led Virginia to refuse the prospect of spending the rest of her life with Devin.

She shared, with tears in her eyes following the ceremony, “I believe I felt a strong need to shield Devin throughout much of our relationship. It might be a cultural aspect, but safeguarding him has always been significant to me. There were certain subjects, like politics, that he didn’t want to discuss, and there were areas of our connection we never fully explored because I respected his wishes not to delve deeper.

In the end, at least one pair, Daniel and Taylor, agreed to spend an eternity together, finding love in the days following Christmas.

After all the conversations were over, there was at least one couple – Daniel and Taylor – who committed to a lifetime of love, some time after the festive season of Christmas.

Despite initially appearing as if they encountered a significant barrier (with Taylor suspecting Daniel had previously followed and then unfollowed her on Instagram, thereby knowing her appearance prior to the event), they successfully navigated past this specific challenge.

Indeed, following their heartfelt promises, they savored a stunning wedding ceremony and a lively celebration afterwards.

Or

Of course, after making heart-touching pledges, they delighted in a splendid wedding and a festive party that followed.

After getting married, Daniel expressed his joy by saying, “We’ve achieved it!” as he sat beside Taylor. Taylor, equally thrilled, joined in, “We can’t wait to embark on our new journey together!

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: After finding myself entangled in a love triangle involving Hannah Jiles and the renowned art dealer, I chose to propose to the author of “Keeping Well.” However, following a brief engagement, we realized that maintaining our friendship was more beneficial for both of us.

Previously, Brittany expressed to People in an interview shared with Leo, “Our connection simply didn’t develop.” After discussing the potential of their relationship at the outset, they found that the connection failed to materialize during their journey. Both parties acknowledged this and felt it was the right decision. Being open communicators, they handled the situation smoothly and amicably, arriving at a mutually agreed-upon, respectful understanding.

Monica discovered shocking sexually explicit text messages exchanged between her fiancé and another woman, leading to an abrupt end of their relationship upon their return from Mexico. In response, Stephen expressed remorse in real-time during episode eight but also posted an apology on social media after the episode was broadcasted.

He expressed on Instagram Stories on October 8 that he hoped he hadn’t spoiled anyone’s day just by being around, and if he did, he apologized for disturbing their peaceful morning. He wished they didn’t have to wake up at all. However, his feelings towards them remain unchanged.

Upon stepping out of the pods, Hannah and Nick experienced a mix of highs and lows, and indeed had their share of differences and arguments, to put it mildly. (“Equality is shown when one contributes as much as they receive.”)

The situation reached its peak when Hannah chose not to walk down the aisle with him, and for Nick, breaking up was “one of the most painful experiences I’ve ever had.

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

In an October episode of The Viall Files podcast, she expressed that she’s gained valuable insights and identified areas for improvement. Specifically, she acknowledged her bluntness but realized the importance of refining her delivery to make a more impactful impression.

In a fated union reminiscent of stars aligning in the realm of scientific discovery (or those unexpected tattoos that bring people together), Taylor and Garrett found an instant connection and appeared to be made for each other from the start. However, their relationship faced a challenge when Taylor discovered Garrett had responded to his ex’s direct message (Garrett claimed he was engaged at the time and ended the conversation). Nevertheless, this setback became merely a brief chapter in their love story, as portrayed in the series Love Is Blind.

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

Indeed, you’ve understood correctly: Despite Marissa and Ramses being among the top couples contenders this season, Ramses eventually decided to postpone their wedding due to some last-minute doubts he had.

As an overjoyed admirer, I excitedly shared with my beloved, “Our future together promises greatness, and I long for us to embark on this journey as husband and wife.” To which he wisely replied, “I grasp the thrill of falling in love, I acknowledge its inherent risks.

Yet, he acknowledged the disparities between them, particularly on military issues, might not be sufficient for a harmonious relationship. “From personal experience, observing other marriages, and listening to the wisdom of others,” he continued, “I believe love isn’t enough…I think there must be additional factors that are also thriving.

In my own words, as a lifestyle advisor, I’d say: After realizing that things were truly over between us, I couldn’t hold back the tears. I found myself saying, “I wish you hadn’t come along for this journey.” The uncertainty of it all left me bewildered – how could I be so certain and yet you weren’t? It’s just frustrating, I wanted you to pick me. Looking back at our split, I can honestly say that it was the most difficult day of my life.

Over time, Tyler and Ashley grew popular among viewers as they showcased their laid-back relationship dynamic. However, a challenge arose when it was revealed that Tyler had three children, which Ashley called his “children conceived through sperm donation.” (There’s ongoing debate about the extent of his parental role, an issue he has not publicly addressed).

By October 2024, during their reunion episode, Ashley and Tyler managed to overcome that detail and not just rekindle their connection; they actually ended up getting married and became each other’s husbands.

Reflecting on these past two months, I can’t help but marvel at how dramatically our lives have transformed, as if destiny itself had orchestrated this beautiful turn of events. Now, with Ashley by my side, I am filled with an indescribable joy, knowing that we get to share the rest of our lives together.

Later on, Ashley revealed that they ended their marriage, which had lasted more than a year.

In early 2025, she shared with People magazine that Tyler and I have been apart for some time now. After careful consideration, we’ve decided to officially part ways. Despite my hopes for open communication and agreement in our relationship, it seems our goals and directions are no longer in sync, leaving me with no choice but to leave the marriage.

By the time Alex and Tim returned to Washington D.C., it appeared as though their significant disagreement in Mexico had been resolved. They seemed to be in a better place than before, almost like nothing had ever happened. Intriguingly, Tim even had an emotional conversation with Alex’s father, which seemed to secure their future relationship.

After the meeting between Alex and Tim’s family, they had another disagreement which led to Tim calling off their engagement by stating that he didn’t wish for any further contact with Alex. Since then, both have spoken up in defense following the breakup, with Alex clarifying that their separation was not a joint decision on their parts.

Following a handful of spats throughout the season, it seemed that Chelsea and Jimmy managed to resolve their differences during a pre-wedding outing to an amusement park, which served as a backdrop for burying their past disputes.

Nevertheless, Jimmy openly expressed that he wanted their roller coaster journey to conclude, ending his engagement with Chelsea, who was visibly upset by his choice – left bewildered by his decision.

Jimmy conveyed to Chelsea during their date that he feels an incredibly strong affection for her and desires a committed relationship, but he’s hesitant about making things official – he doesn’t feel ready to take that step towards marriage.

In a nutshell, I’ve distilled our conversation into a single point of contention, which, unbeknownst to me, has stirred up quite a storm. It seems like it’s been a series of profound issues that have left a deep impact on me emotionally. (One such issue being the revelation Chelsea made about Jimmy’s past relationship with his female friend.)

After another round of discussions about past relationships, Chelsea departed tearfully, saying “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 they could overcome as a couple and their relationship was thriving.

However, when it came time for Clay to make a lifelong commitment at the altar, he opted against it, 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 put in the effort for us, side by side. Regardless of what others may say, I acknowledge that I’m not prepared for marriage yet, and you deserve nothing less than my best. If I’m unable to commit 100%, I won’t take you there until I am ready…I can’t give you a definitive ‘yes’ at this moment.

It became clear, causing AD to emotionally express with tears, that the relationship had been a squandering of her precious “time and energy.

Regarding Clay, he disclosed that both financial and emotional factors significantly contributed to his decision to leave. “I had to ask myself, ‘Am I a husband?'” he confessed, to which the response was negative. When questioned about his romantic feelings, he replied, “No, I’m not deeply in love either.

At the gathering, Clay admitted that he had erred by wanting to date AD, yet she was evasive about whether she might entertain reconciliation in the future.

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

The couple from season six who agreed to an eternal commitment was Amy and Johnny. Not only did they mark their fresh start with a stunning ceremony, but they also effortlessly combined their families into one unit. In fact, Amy’s father affectionately mentioned that he now considers Johnny’s sister as one of his “multiple 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 affair was vibrant, but once they got back to everyday life, their relationship lost its spark.

Brittany explained to Life & Style that things shifted significantly upon returning home to Charlotte. She feels that their relationship, which was extremely intense and passionate in the “pods”, lost some of its intensity once they returned home.

Despite no longer being in a romantic relationship, their friendship endures, as Brittany expressed during the reunion: “The connection between us will last forever.

In the heat of my fandom passion, I can’t help but share this tale: The spark between Laura and Jeramey seemed unbreakable until a shocking revelation unfolded – Jeramey had rekindled connections with Sarah Ann Bick, another pod mate, during a secret night out. The tension that followed their explosive confrontation led me, as a devoted fan, to feel Laura’s anger when she told Jeramey to hit the road.

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

At the gathering held in March 2024, Jeramey disclosed that he and Sarah Ann had an on-again, off-again relationship starting from when they worked together on the show, but they are no longer together now.

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

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: In the fifth season, the couple faced quite a few challenges, from Izzy’s past relationship with Johnie Maraist to Stacy’s specific demands for her lifestyle and dishware (no plastic plates, please!). However, when it came down to tying the knot, Stacy pointed out Izzy’s deception about his financial background as a key factor in her decision not to walk down the aisle.

Even though Stacy didn’t say “I do” at the altar, she still desired 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 appreciated 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 to a lifelong decision.

Izzy is now dating surgical assistant Shelby Webb.

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

In my expert opinion, when I first learned that Lydia had a past connection with Uche Okoroha, Milton’s pod-friend, before our reality show even started, things didn’t exactly get off on the right foot. However, among all the contestants, it was only Lydia and myself who managed to maintain our relationship throughout the experiment, proving that the rocky start didn’t deter us from finding love in unexpected places.

Lydia exclaimed, “Marrying is the fulfillment of my dreams!” She was overjoyed and couldn’t contain her happiness. Here, I have everything I’ve ever wanted, she said, feeling as if this is where I belong, feeling secure and at home.

As an enthusiastic advocate for informed choices, I found myself confidently concluding after careful analysis: all signs pointed to this being the optimal decision.

Throughout the entire season, it appeared as though opposites were magnetically drawn together for this couple…that is, until they reached the altar. Noticing Paul’s uncertainty, Micah requested that he share his thoughts first, and in the end, Paul decided to decline the proposal of marriage.

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

2. “Micah shared that he feels utterly chaotic,” or

3. “Micah confided that he feels like everything is falling apart,” or

4. “Micah admitted that he feels like he’s a mess,” or

5. “Micah stated that he feels completely disorganized.”

6. “If Paul had proposed to me, I would have enthusiastically accepted him without any hesitation,” or

7. “Had Paul asked for my hand in marriage, I would have gladly accepted him wholeheartedly.”

At the gathering, Paul expressed regret for his remark during a private conversation where he admitted struggling to envision Micah as a parent.

Paul clarified, “What I said was not fair to her, I believe a more accurate way to express it would be to say that I don’t see myself in a parental role with her.

After wrapping up the movie, the pair attempted a brief reconciliation, but unfortunately, they couldn’t sustain their relationship. Later on, Paul clarified that they called it quits permanently when he paid a visit to Micah in Arizona.

In “After the Altar,” Paul disclosed that he had begun dating a new companion, who appreciated both travel and his culinary abilities. Eventually, he confirmed their relationship on Instagram with eyelash stylist Geneva Dunham.

As an ardent fan, I couldn’t help but notice the drama surrounding Kwame’s wedding. Despite his mother’s reluctance to attend and their somewhat questionable conversations with Micah, who also shared a bond in the pods, Kwame and Chelsea were among the three couples that pledged their love at the end of season four.

At the gathering, Chelsea disclosed that she had already gotten acquainted with her husband’s mother. Meanwhile, Kwame tendered an apology to his wife and her kin, stating that his conversations with Micah didn’t showcase him in the most favorable light.

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

It’s often said that love can be blind, but sometimes it takes a moment or even proposing to another person to understand you’ve made a mistake. That was the case with Zack when he first got engaged to Irina Solomonova, only for them to split up during their vacation in Mexico.

Following Bliss’ request for another opportunity, the duo bravely disregarded the statistical improbabilities and Bliss’ father’s expectations, exchanging vows at the altar instead. (By the way, they didn’t choose to wait on their first dance, opting instead to sway to Lee Ann Womack‘s “I Hope You Dance,” a song that symbolized their connection in the pods.)

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

2023 saw me bursting with excitement as I eagerly awaited the joyous news – a new addition to my beloved couple’s family! In November, they graciously shared that they were expecting their first child. Fast forward to April 2024, and my heart swelled with pride as Galileo Terri Rayne Goytowski made her entrance into the world, bringing even more love and light to this incredible duo.

It feels like no other Love Is Blind (LIB) couple since Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed has appeared to be such a perfect match!

In the study, the eldest pair – Tiffany who was 36 and Brett who was 37 – still decided to exchange vows, despite an unfortunate wardrobe mishap where Brett’s trousers didn’t fit well on their wedding day. Thank you, Lucia the seamstress, for coming to the rescue! (You’re a lifesaver!)

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.

Nevertheless, after the filming ended, it was discovered that their past relationship had been rekindled, as they were found to be dating once more during the season three reunion show.

After a month of reflection, my partner and I made the difficult decision to part ways. Regrettably, rumors about my infidelity have surfaced, leading to ongoing legal complications. In order to protect our privacy during this challenging period, we kindly request that you respect our situation and refrain from seeking further details. We appreciate your support throughout our journey and hope you understand the circumstances that led us here.

Onlookers expressed concern as Jackie decided to offer another opportunity to Josh Demas, the individual she had bonded with within the pods, by arranging a meeting with him prior to concluding her relationship with Marshall.

During the reunion, Jackie clarified the sequence of events. “Marshall and I had parted ways before I encountered Josh at the coffee shop,” she explained. “It appears I was unfaithful. Let me make it clear, I am not a cheater.

Jackie later acknowledged the conclusion of her relationship with Marshall, stating that she is willing to “admit responsibility” for her statements and conduct. “It simply wasn’t destined for us to be together.

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

Regarding Marshall, he shared with TopMob that following the show, he had a brief interaction with contestant Kacia Clark. He elaborated, saying, “We gave it a go, but after the experience, I decided it was best for me to step back and avoid being connected with everything from that period.

In “After the Altar,” Marshall shared 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 experienced one of Love Is Blind’s most dramatic weddings, not due to the bride or groom themselves.

In the final episode of the third season, it turned out that while Nancy was eager to marry, Bartise wasn’t entirely convinced about their relationship. This revelation didn’t go down smoothly with Nancy’s family, who didn’t hesitate to express their disapproval towards Bartise directly.

Regardless of their ups and downs, Bartise and Nancy’s relationship can be described as a rollercoaster of friendship – one moment they are friends, the next they are mere acquaintances, and then they may not communicate at all. However, things can change again, and they might revert back to being friends. Bartise explained this complex situation to TopMob by saying, “We’ve gone from being close to being practically strangers, to having no contact, and then returning to a friendship.

In April 2023, Bartisse, a contestant from the show “Perfect Match,” revealed the birth of his son named Hayden. However, he has not disclosed the identity of the child’s mother in any public statements.

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

Nancy is currently in a new romantic connection, though she hasn’t disclosed the details about her partner yet.

 

In the final episode of the season, audiences saw Alexa and Brennon exchange vows amidst their cherished ones during a beautiful wedding ceremony.

In touching promises, Alexa shared, “You bring on the laughter, spark thoughtfulness, and above all, you bring joy to my life.

In January 2024, the couple revealed that they were anticipating their first child, and in July of the same year, they joyfully introduced their newborn daughter, Vienna Ziva Lemieux, to the world.

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

Throughout their romantic journey, there were frequent disagreements due to misunderstandings between Zanab and Cole, leading to several conflicts. Despite reaching the wedding altar, Zanab expressed her feelings by saying, “You’ve shown disregard for me. You’ve hurt my feelings. You’ve criticized me. And to be honest, you’ve single-handedly destroyed my self-esteem.

Cole later reflected on their tumultuous relationship.

He expressed to TopMob News that despite facing numerous obstacles, they were managing and discovering calmer seas. He hoped, nevertheless, that they could carry on their journey even after the wedding, if not tying the knot on that specific day.

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

Regardless of the ups and downs they experienced while courting each other, this couple remained certain about their bond and joyfully exchanged wedding vows.

Speaking with TopMob News, Colleen explained her decision to proceed with the wedding by saying, “When he started crying and sniffing, it felt like a sign. So, I instantly knew that I would say ‘yes’ when I saw him.

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 going to date in the future?’ I’m not sure about that yet. I believe a better strategy might be avoiding dating apps for now.
