In their announcement, they said, "We wanted to share something personal, and this is not easy to do, but after nearly four years together, we’ve decided to end our marriage and move forward on our own paths." When they signed up for "Love Is Blind," many hoped their love story would have a fairytale ending.
They continued, "We’ve been separated for some time now and have been doing our best to work through everything privately. This was an incredibly difficult decision, not one we made lightly. It came with a lot of thought and it’s been an emotional process for both of us."
The couple first crossed paths during the show’s third season, which aired in 2022, and they got married in the season finale. They reflected on their unique experience, stating, "We met in the most unique and unexpected way, and we’ll always be grateful for the love and memories we’ve shared."
