Love Is Blind couple Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis announce shock split

Love Is Blind stars Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis have sadly split, after over a year together.

The couple wed on season 7 of the popular series, one of just two pairings that ended up tying the knot.

In a statement to PEOPLE, Ashley confirmed that she and Tyler “have been separated for several weeks and have now made the difficult decision to end our marriage.”

“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,” she continued.

“This was not a decision I made lightly, but one I know is necessary for my own growth and peace.”

“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.”

Tyler was embroiled in a paternity scandal when the latest season of Love Is Blind aired in October, after it was revealed he was the father of three children.

The 34-year-old had told Ashley about the kids but claimed that he was a “sperm donor” to a friend.

However, things took a turn when the children’s mother, Bri Thomas, disputed Tyler’s version of the story in an Instagram post on October 10, 2024.

“Yes, I am the mother of Tyler’s three children. I’m trying really hard to do this the right way, but I have no understanding why he would characterize his relationship with his children as he has,” she wrote.

“I guess I have to speak on this, despite trying so hard not to. ‘Sperm babies’ they are not.”

Bri then shared a since-deleted video of Tyler and one of his biological sons and wrote that it was taken around Christmas 2022.

“My children love their ‘Dad.’ To think that he has reduced them to ‘sperm babies,’ when I was told he was going on the show to be able to better provide for them,” she added.

Bri explained that her son was conceived via sperm donation from Tyler while she was married to her ex-wife.

But after splitting from her ex-wife, Bri alleged she and Tyler conceived twin girls as a result of “natural unplanned intercourse with absolutely no complexity surrounding parentage.”

Tyler subsequently addressed the paternity scandal during the season 7 reunion episode.

He said: “Those kids, that family, they did not sign up for this. So, what is happening now is I try to keep that from happening. Their birth certificates are online. Things that shouldn’t be happening are now happening.

“And to get into the story, I did help a friend and her wife start a family, but her wife ended up leaving her and left her high and dry.”

He continued, “This was my very close friend. So I stepped in, voluntarily stepped in and helped. So there is pictures of me around. You’ll see me around.

“I’ve spent holidays with all my friends, you know, all their kids. And I played a part that became very shaky with a friend.”

“There’s no rule books to this. There’s no set lines to this. But I do want to let people know, Ashley knows all this. This is news to the world. This has never been news to us.”
