Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman, the breakout couple from Netflix 's Love on the Spectrum U.S., have officially called it. After reports hit on Thursday, April 9, they confirmed the split the next day and say they are ending things on good terms after nearly five years together.
"Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other. At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways, but they remain friends wishing each other the best."
Timeline at a glance
- July 2021: They meet on a blind date (we see it later in the show).
- May 2022: Their date airs in Love on the Spectrum season 1; they quickly become fan favorites and keep showing up in seasons 2, 3, and 4.
- October 2024: In an interview, they talk openly about getting engaged "someday." David gushes that Abbey likes what he likes, tries new things, is loving and kind, and makes him feel like a prince. Abbey is into it, but keeps it light: they will get engaged eventually; right now they are having a blast.
- October 2025: Another update. They are taking their time because Abbey says she does not want to end up divorced like her mom. They are spending weekends at places like the LA Zoo and Griffith Observatory. She also explains one challenge: they process the world differently. Abbey describes herself as a Gestalt learner who thinks in memories; David is very patient, and they are still figuring out how to meet in the middle.
- December 2025: The last time he shows up on her socials is a Universal Studios trip and a year-end highlight reel. She pops up on his feed in a Christmas photo with the caption: "I hope everyone has a great holiday with family, friends and loved ones."
- Early April 2026: Season 4 premieres and Abbey is shown wondering if a proposal is coming: "What if he gives me a wedding ring?" Cue speculation.
- April 9, 2026: Multiple outlets report they have split (The Sun is first out with it).
- April 10, 2026: Abbey, 27, and David, 31, confirm it with a joint statement, adding they spent four and a half years together and still wish each other well.
About that ring tease
Yeah, that season 4 premiere moment did not help expectations. The show aired Abbey openly wondering if David might propose, which had fans convinced the wedding train was pulling into the station. But if you were watching their feeds, things had gone pretty quiet between them for months. Those December 2025 posts were the last clear appearances of each other on social.
Why this one stings
These two were an easy pair to root for. Beyond the cute dates and theme park runs, they were honest about the parts of a relationship that take work. They did not just say "communication is hard" and leave it at that; Abbey spelled out how they think differently and were still learning each other's language. That kind of openness is part of why fans told Abbey they felt seen and hopeful. She said it herself: there was a time she did not think she would be with someone, and now she wants everyone to find love.
Where it lands
In the end, it sounds simple: they want different things right now. They are not throwing darts; they are staying friends and moving on. Tough break for a fan-favorite, but all the best to both of them.
