Love on the Spectrum Stars Split Amid Book News

Reality television couple Abbey Romeo, 27, and David Isaacman, 31, have reportedly concluded their nearly five-year relationship. The news of their split emerged on April 9, 2026. On the same day, Abbey expressed support for David by liking his Instagram post announcing his forthcoming children's book, "The Big Five Save the Lions," scheduled for release on August 11, 2026.

David described the book as a personal project inspired by his friends, with characters on the autism spectrum, reflecting his own identity. He shared his excitement for the book's release during Autism Awareness Month and in celebration of a new season of "Love on the Spectrum."

The couple first met on a blind date in July 2021, with their courtship documented on Netflix's "Love on the Spectrum," which follows individuals on the autism spectrum seeking love. Earlier in the current season, Abbey had playfully teased the possibility of an engagement.

However, Abbey had previously expressed reservations about marriage timelines, stating in March 2026 that while she loved David, he was not yet ready for marriage, and she did not want to rush into it. Fan speculation about the breakup had been growing due to reduced social media activity from both stars.

In October 2025, Abbey shared insights into their relationship dynamics, noting they were actively working on communication skills due to their different forms of autism. She described herself as a Gestalt learner who thinks in memories, highlighting David's patience as they navigated understanding each other.
