Three months after the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion, Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis have announced their separation and subsequent divorce. Ashley cited a lack of alignment in their paths and a need for personal growth as reasons for the split. Fans have reacted with a mix of support and a sense of 'I told you so', citing Tyler's behavior during the season and the revelations about his paternity of three children as red flags.

At the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion back in late October 2024, there were only two newlyweds left standing: Garrett and Taylor and Tyler and Ashley. Now, three months after the drama-filled Netflix special, there's only one, as Ashley has announced she is ending her marriage to Tyler. On January 21, 2025, Ashley Adionser shared an exclusive statement to People about her split from Tyler Francis.

'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,' she said. “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.' Now, fans on social media are calling the impending divorce unsurprising and delivering both waves of support and I told you so's in Ashley's direction. “The unfortunate part is that everyone would’ve understood Ashley leaving Tyler when all that stuff got aired out,” wrote one LIB fan on X. “She doubled down & tried to act like people were miserable bc they clocked Tyler being a messy liar. Now you look silly enduring ALL of that just to divorce anyways… therapy and a support system will get her all the way together. She’ll be fine.” It's true: Tyler and Ashley's breakup is shocking, but not all that shocking. After all, their red-flag-filled union was one of the most chaotic on-screen relationships in Love Is Blind history, with most of the drama unfolding while the cameras weren't rolling. The biggest reveal of reality show's seventh season was the bombshell that Tyler is the father of three children via sperm donation for a friend, and fans on social media dug up photos and videos that suggested Tyler's dynamic with his kids was more involved than he seemed to portray to Ashley on-screen. The last time we saw Tyler and Ashley together, they were perfectly aligned — they addressed the kids scandal within the first few minutes of the highly anticipated reunion, still hedging around the details of Tyler's relationship with his three children. Tyler maintained his previous claim that he helped a friend and her wife “start a family, but her wife ended up leaving her and left her high and dry,' and dismissed the photos that surfaced of him spending Christmas with the kids by saying, “I've spent holidays with all my friends, all their kids.” He even shed a few tears before his soon-to-be-ex-wife jumped in to defend him. Ashley claimed Tyler lied about the true depths of his relationship with the kids on-camera in hopes of preserving a level of privacy, and claimed viewers were “insulting” her “intelligence' by claiming she was “blindsided” by this information. According to Ashley, she knew everything — we just never got to see her receive the full story. “Who do you think has better insight on what's going on, social media or me?” she notoriously said. At the time of writing, Tyler has not yet spoken out about the breakup. In case you missed it all, keep reading for a complete breakdown of all the drama that went down between Tyler and Ashley on Love Is Blind season 7 — here's the sperm donor secret, explained. Did any red flags pop up in Tyler and Ashley's relationship before she knew about the kids? As seen in the first six episodes of the season, Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser became engaged after falling in love in the Love Is Blind pods and quickly became a fan favorite due to their seemingly intense compatibility and genuine connection. During their honeymoon in Mexico, fans picked up on a few red flags Tyler threw into the air, such as warning Ashley that folks back home who know him “in real life” would tell her he's “not nice.” “Like, nah, I just wasn't nice to y'all,” he said. “There's nothing that no one can tell me,” Ashley said, standing firm in her trust for her fiancé. “You never know who comes out of the woodworks,” Tyler answered. (Um… OK.) Of the seven couples who ultimately got engaged through the experiment this season, Tyler and Ashley seemed to have the healthiest relationship of them all. Until mid-season, at least. In between episode batch drops, fans discovered that Tyler is the biological father of three children, a major life detail that we had not yet seen him disclose during any of the episodes. Fans scrambled to put the pieces together based on the timeline of the show and what Tyler and Ashley had shared about their lives up until that poin
