The beloved couple from Netflix's "Love on the Spectrum," Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman, have officially ended their relationship after nearly five years together.
In a joint statement provided to People, the pair announced their split, saying, "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."
Fans first fell in love with Abbey and David's romance during the show's inaugural season, which featured their memorable first date at the San Diego Zoo. Their journey from that initial connection to a long-term relationship captivated audiences who followed their story across multiple seasons.
"I don't want to be a divorced lady like my mom, so that's why I don't want to rush it, take my time to get married," Abbey explained during Season 4, addressing questions about marriage.
Despite Abbey's expressed desire for a future engagement—including discussions about potential wedding locations ranging from the San Diego Zoo to Kenya's Maasai Mara National Reserve—the couple has decided to pursue separate paths. The split comes as a surprise to many fans who had watched their relationship blossom on screen.
The breakup was first reported earlier this week by The Sun, with TMZ confirming the news through the couple's official statement. While the specific reasons behind their decision to part ways remain private, both Abbey and David have emphasized their continued friendship and mutual respect as they move forward independently.
