Love on the Spectrum has been a significant part of Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman’s journey, both as individuals and as a couple. The pair, who first met on a blind date in July 2021, were featured in season 1 of the Netflix series, which highlights relationships within the autism community. Their story quickly became a fan favorite, with their dynamic and heartfelt connection resonating with audiences across multiple seasons.
In a joint statement released to People, Abbey and David shared their feelings about their recent decision to end their relationship. “Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other,” the statement read. They emphasized that while they have chosen to go their separate ways, they remain friends and wish each other the best.
The news of their split came as a surprise to many, especially given how much the couple had grown together over the years. According to a source, the break-up was not an easy decision. “They couldn’t come to an agreement on when to get married. She was ready years ago, he still needed time,” the insider revealed. Another source confirmed that Isaacman is doing well following the separation.
Romeo had previously expressed her hopes for a proposal during the season 4 premiere of Love on the Spectrum, which aired earlier this month. In one episode, she asked her mother, “What if he gives me a wedding ring?” This question highlighted her anticipation for a future with Isaacman.
In October 2025, Romeo spoke to Us Weekly about her relationship, sharing how much she enjoys spending time with Isaacman. “We have fun together and do things we both love like going to the Los Angeles Zoo and Griffith Observatory,” she said. She also mentioned her desire to take their time before getting married, explaining that she doesn’t want to be a divorced lady like her mother.
Communication has always been a key aspect of their relationship, especially since both are on the autism spectrum. “We are working on our communication skills because we have different kinds of autism,” Romeo 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.”
Fans noticed that Romeo and Isaacman had not appeared on each other’s social media pages since December 2025. This absence was seen by some as a sign that their relationship had come to an end. The couple had often shared their romance online, with their last post together featuring photos from their trip to Universal Studios.
Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Abbey and David continue to support each other as friends. Their journey together has been a powerful example of love, patience, and growth, and their story will undoubtedly remain a meaningful chapter in the lives of their fans.
