Where Love on the Spectrum’s Abbey & David Stand After Breakup

David Isaacman might not be the lion to Abbey Romeo’s lioness anymore.

After their split in April, Abbey and her ex seem to have a friendship more like Timon and Pumba – just casual buddies – rather than a romantic connection like Simba and Nala. Abbey herself has hinted at this dynamic.

She explained to Raven-Symoné and Miranda Maday on their May 21st podcast, Tea Time, that she and David had redefined their relationship. Instead of dating, they now consider themselves best friends, and she feels she’s grown significantly over the last four and a half years.

She continued, “Without David, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He was a good start.”

Now starting a fresh phase of her life, the 28-year-old is hoping to approach it with the same attitude as a famous musician.

“Being single ladies, like Beyoncé said,” Abbey added. “It feels amazing.”

Even though she’s going through a very public breakup – she and David were a popular couple from the show Love on the Spectrum – she’s finding comfort in sayings her family always believed in.

You know, I always loved those simple reminders Abbey used to share. She’d often say, ‘If I can do this, so can you!’ It’s so true – believing in yourself is half the battle. And she was a big believer in practice, too. She’d always say the more you put in the effort, the more natural and easy things become. It really stuck with me, and I try to live by those words every day.

Abbey and David dated for nearly five years, and their relationship was featured on four seasons of the show Love on the Spectrum, before they announced their split.

As Abbey and David recently shared with everyone, while they deeply cherish the time they spent together, they’ve realized they’re looking for different things in life. It’s a mutual decision to move forward separately, but the good news is they’re staying friends and genuinely wish each other happiness. It’s always tough when a relationship ends, but it’s lovely to see them prioritizing respect and friendship.

Although they haven’t explained why they broke up, the most recent season of Love on the Spectrum showed the couple discussing marriage after watching their fellow cast members, Madison Marilla and Tyler White, get engaged.

During the show, Abbey expressed a strong desire to get married, telling her mother she really wanted to be a bride. She then told David she was happy for the couple and hoped it meant she and David would be getting married soon, too.

For his part, David emphasized they’d take that next step when it made sense. 

He said it himself – timing is everything, and we can only really connect when it feels right. But honestly, the sweetest part was when he told me he loves me ‘to infinity and beyond!’ It just perfectly captures how deeply he feels, and it always makes my heart melt.
