Love on the Spectrum’s Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman have broken their silence on their split.
“Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other,” Abbey, David and their families said in a joint statement to People on Friday, April 10. “At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways, but they remain friends wishing each other the best.”
Multiple outlets reported on Thursday, April 9, that Abbey, 27, and David, 31, had called it quits after nearly five years together. (The Sun was the first to report the news.)
Abbey and David met on a blind date in July 2021, as seen on season 1 of Netflix’s Love on the Spectrum in May 2022. The duo quickly became a fan-favorite couple and went on to appear in seasons 2 through 4.
During the season 4 premiere earlier this month, Abbey teased that she and David might take their romance to the next level.
“What if he gives me a wedding ring?” she asked her mother.
While some fans took the comment as a sign that Abbey and David would be headed down the aisle together, other eagle-eyed followers noticed that the now-exes have not appeared on each other’s social media of late.
David was most recently featured on Abbey’s social media in December 2025, when she documented their trip to Universal Studios and shared a highlight reel of moments from the past year. Meanwhile, Abbey appeared in a Christmas photo with David.
“I hope everyone has a great holiday with family, friends and loved ones,” he wrote alongside the snap.
Abbey and David previously teased their desire to get engaged in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in October 2024.
“We [are] gonna get engaged someday,” David said at the time. “[Abbey] likes all the things I like and she tries new things too. She is loving and kind … and she is beautiful and makes me feel like a prince.”
Abbey added, “[We’ll] get engaged someday … [right now] we’re having a blast.”
One year later, Abbey shared an update on their relationship.
“We have fun together and do things we both love like going to the Los Angeles Zoo and Griffith Observatory,” she exclusively told Us in October 2025. “We want to take our time getting married because I don’t want to be a divorced lady like my mom.”
Abbey also admitted that she and David sometimes faced obstacles in their romance.
“We are working on our communication skills because we have different kinds of autism,” she explained. “I am a Gestalt learner and think in memories, and he is very patient with me, and we are still working hard on understanding each other.”
Despite their problems, Abbey said she was proud that she and David could inspire other couples.
“Fans say that David and I inspire them and that we help them believe in love,” she continued. “That is amazing. There was a time when I didn’t think I would ever be with someone and those days are over. I want everyone to find love.”
