Reality TV breakups can be brutal, messy, and chaotic, to say the least. Thank goodness that doesn’t seem to be the case for Love on the Spectrum couple Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman.
Earlier this month, the two announced their breakup, just days after Netflix dropped season 4 of the Emmy-award winning dating series. The unexpected announcement left fans concerned that something scandalous went down when the cameras weren’t rolling, but Abbey’s mother just set the record straight.
The breakup shocked Netflix reality TV fans
Abbey’s mom, Christine Romeo, uploaded a YouTube video alongside her cousin, Mary Romeo. In the video, they talked about Love on the Spectrum Season 4 and the breakup that shocked fans. She clarified that they filmed the new season of the Netflix series nearly a year before the split.
Additionally, Christine explained that there was “no fight over engagements and rings being thrown around.” Any headlines suggesting otherwise? She says they’re “bullsh*t.”
Instead, she said the two lovebirds grew apart. They had different ideas for how they wanted to live their lives.
“You know, Abbey would say she wanted to get married, which really meant, ‘I want to feel like a normal person in the world and do what they do in their relationships,’” Christine explained.
“It was almost like having a party, not the idea of moving in together,” she continued
Christine said that Abbey and David didn’t “talk about” taking that step in their relationship, and over time, they realized that they wanted different things and had unique outlooks on how they wanted to live their lives.
“David was happy in his way of doing life, and Abbey’s was different,” Christine remarked. “And they found that out over this period of time.”
Although Abbey and David have gone their separate ways, Christine predicts that they’ll have a “forever bond” and remain friends. There’s no ill will. They’re just two people coming to the mutual conclusion that the relationship no longer works.
“I’m grateful for the time they had. It was a fabulous relationship,” Christine said.
Love on the Spectrum is streaming on Netflix.
