Love on the Spectrum stars Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman have split up after five years of dating, according to multiple reports. The pair, who met on season one of the Netflix series in 2022, were still going strong as of season four, but have now decided to end their relationship.

Why it matters

Abbey and David's relationship was a central storyline on Love on the Spectrum, which follows the dating lives of people on the autism spectrum. Their breakup after five years together highlights the challenges that can come with navigating romantic relationships, even for couples who find love on a reality TV show.

The details

In the most recent season of Love on the Spectrum, Abbey, 27, and David, 31, traveled to Florida together to celebrate the engagement of their costars Madison Marilla and Tyler White. This milestone raised questions for Abbey and David about the next steps in their own relationship, with Abbey confiding in her mom that she wanted to 'be a bride so badly.' However, the couple has now decided to go their separate ways, though the specific reasons for their split have not been disclosed.

  • Abbey and David met and began dating on season one of Love on the Spectrum, which debuted on Netflix in 2022.
