Did Abbey Romeo & David Isaacman From Love on the Spectrum Break Up?

Yes. The pair shared a joint statement with their families, confirming their split, with People.

“Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other,” the statement read. “At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways, but they remain friends wishing each other the best.”

The U.S. Sun was the first to report the news. An insider told the publication on April 9, 2026, “Sadly, it’s true that David and Abbey broke up.”

Why Did Abbey & David From Love on the Spectrum Break Up?

According to The U.S. Sun, Abbey and David broke up because they “couldn’t come to an agreement on when to get married,” one source claimed.

“She was ready years ago, he still needed time,” the insider said.

It seems that the exes have remained amicable, though, since Abbey was seen “liking” her former boyfriend’s April 9, 2026, Instagram post, of his children’s book announcement.

Were David & Abbey Engaged?

No, David and Abbey were never engaged. In fact, Abbey opened up about the thought of marriage during a season 4 episode of Love on the Spectrum. At the time, she told producers that “neither” she nor David was “ready to get married” and that they “[felt] like [they were] already married in [their] hearts.”

“I don’t want to be a divorced lady like my mom,” she pointed out, referring to her parents’ divorce. “So, that’s why I don’t want to rush it, take my time to get married.”

Still, Abbey told her mom, Christine, that she wanted “to be a bride so badly” in her life.
