Love on the Spectrum fan favorites Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman have called it quits, ending a nearly five-year romance that began with a July 2021 blind date on season 1 of the Netflix series, according to multiple reports.
Well, this one stings: Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman — the breakout couple from Netflix 's Love on the Spectrum — have split after nearly five years together.
Quick version
- Multiple outlets report that Abbey, 27, and David, 31, have called it quits.
- They first met on a blind date in July 2021 while filming season 1, which hit Netflix in May 2022.
- Their relationship played out across four seasons of the show.
- Season 4 dropped earlier this month and included Abbey openly thinking about engagement.
- Reps have been asked for comment.
From first date to fan favorites
Abbey and David were one of those reality TV couples that felt easy to root for. Viewers watched them connect in season 1, then stick together as the series followed their relationship over the next three seasons. By the time season 4 rolled out this month, Abbey was even floating the idea of a proposal to her mom — not subtle, and plenty of fans took it as a hopeful sign.
The social media slowdown
At the same time, some people clocked a shift online. The two hadn’t been showing up in each other’s Instagram and TikTok feeds as much lately. David last popped up on Abbey’s socials in December 2025, when she posted a year-end recap that included their Universal Studios trip. Around Christmas, he shared a photo with Abbey and wrote a holiday message to followers — a calm, everything’s-fine kind of post. After that, the joint updates got quiet.
What they said about the future ( before now)
In October 2024, David told Us Weekly he fully expected the relationship to head toward engagement and had a lot to say about why he adored Abbey.
'We are gonna get engaged someday... She is loving and kind... and she is beautiful and makes me feel like a prince.'
Abbey, at the time, was in the same general headspace — engagement eventually, they were just enjoying the ride. A year later, in October 2025, she explained they were in no rush to get married. They liked taking their time, doing the things they love together (yes, the Los Angeles Zoo and Griffith Observatory got name-checked), and she was honest about wanting to avoid rushing into something that could end in divorce like her mom’s experience.
They were also frank about the work involved. Abbey said they were still refining how they communicate because they experience autism differently. She described herself as a Gestalt learner who tends to think in memories, and credited David for his patience as they kept learning each other’s rhythms.
Why this couple mattered to people
Abbey has talked about how often fans say their relationship helped them believe in love — something she once wasn’t sure she would find herself. That response clearly meant a lot to her, and she said she wants everyone to find their person.
Where things stand
Right now, the breakup is what it is: multiple reports say Abbey and David have ended it after nearly five years together, and their reps have been contacted for comment. If you were keeping an eye out for a proposal this season, same — this update is a curveball.
