We entered this relationship with love and optimism, and we leave it with gratitude for the experiences that shaped us and the growth we each gained along the way.” The pair share daughter Vienna, who was born in summer 2024.

It wasn’t one thing. It was a layer of situations and things that just kept piling up,” she claimed. “When I asked him or told him, ‘Hey, I’ll let you know when the divorce papers are ready,’ his response was, ‘I’m not going to sign the papers unless there’s an NDA.’ That said enough for me to know that I needed to share my truth and my experience because I’ve been suffering in silence, [which] has been too much for me.” Us broke the news in January 2026 that Lydia and Milton finalized their divorce.

She announced their separation in January 2025, filing for divorce the following May. “He should have never went on the show,” Ashley claimed of her now-ex on the “What’s the Reality?” podcast in May 2025, alleging that Tyler “presented” himself as being ready to tie the knot when the opposite was seemingly true. “This was a mind[f***] for me, big time, trying to rationalize how he slipped through the cracks. He presented himself as that man during filming, to the point that everybody loved him. He’s very charismatic … [and] he seemed like he was ready for an honest marriage.” Tyler, meanwhile, said in a social media statement that he respected “Ashley’s decision” to end their marriage. “I respect Ashley’s decision to move forward in a way that prioritizes her peace and happiness,” he wrote. “Ashley is an incredible woman, and I have nothing but admiration and gratitude for the love and support she has given me. I ask for kindness and understanding as we both move forward separately, focusing on healing and growth.” Credit: Greg Gayne/Netflix Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton In their May 2025 statement, the ballet dancer and Matt reflected on the “emotional process” of breaking up. “We met in the most unique and unexpected way, and we’ll always be grateful for the love and memories we’ve shared,” the statement read. “There’s not one thing we would change and we continue to have deep respect and care for one another. Thank you to everyone who has supported us. We kindly ask for compassion as we navigate this transition."

She later cited that they had personality “incompatibilities.” Months later, Nick told Us that they were no longer in touch. “We’re still going through it,” Nick told Us in October 2022. “I’m doing OK. I’m not gonna lie and say, ‘Oh, it’s easy,’ or, ‘I’m doing great,’ but I’m doing OK. Losing a relationship that was so meaningful and with someone that you deeply love and care for is never gonna be easy.” He added, “For my own mental health and healing, I had to create a boundary with her that I’m not engaging anymore. I’m choosing to leave the past behind me and focus on all the stuff I have going on. I don’t wanna live in the past. I don’t want to be in any kind of position where I’m having to defend myself.” They reunited the next year for an episode of Nick’s “Eyes Wide Open” podcast, demonstrating that they can now be cordial.

My hope made it real, my effort made it real, my tears made it real,” Iyanna captioned a TikTok video in November 2022, sharing footage of herself in tears after finalizing their divorce. “So, I’m crying for the girl that I was at the beginning of this marriage, when I was so hopeful and had less baggage and I was optimistic and I was healed. I’m crying for that marriage that I thought could work.” She further claimed that “s*** hit the wall” after the cameras cut.

After a few months of dating long distance while SK was in graduate school, they broke up when Raven claimed that her then-boyfriend had been unfaithful. “There were definitely a lot of moments when I had a very unsettled feeling,” Raven told Us in February 2023. “I don’t know if necessarily they were red flags, but I was ignoring things that I shouldn’t have. I was like, ‘Hmm, something isn’t right here.’ And instead of using my voice and communicating with my partner, I just kind of was like, ‘Oh, I don’t wanna stir up any conflict.’ In the end, it really didn’t serve me. So now I know, like, I need to listen to myself.” SK, meanwhile, denied that he cheated on Raven and stressed that he hooked up with another woman after he split from the fitness trainer.

After a year of dating, they broke up due to unknown circumstances. "I’m still sick about it. I love that man,” Jackie said during a September 2023 TikTok livestream. “I was like, ‘Damn, I had all these life plans with you and then you just don’t even care.’ And I’m like, ‘That’s crazy.’ … I tried doing everything I could and what’s crazy is looking back on these messages I look like a begging a** bitch and I never beg no one to be with me.” Credit: Netflix Sarah Ann Bick and Jeramey Lutinski After a pod love triangle with Sarah Ann and Laura Dadisman, Jeramey opted to propose to Laura sight unseen during season 6. Their engagement fizzled before their would-be wedding day after she claimed that Jeramey spent all night at Sarah Ann’s house. He denied the claims, but later did start dating Sarah Ann. They broke up a year later. “This is in no way one person’s fault. It’s mutual in the aspect that we both contributed to the issues in our relationship,” she said in a September 2024 Instagram video. “We go about things so differently and it’s wild because I never really realized those things until after we were faced with so much adversity and all of the hate came in.” She continued, "I had someone ask if it ended amicably, and no it wasn’t, if you want me to be blatantly honest. It was ugly [and] it ended really ugly. It’s important to note that Jeramey and I fought really hard for our relationship. We both wanted it to work.” More Stories Sign Up Create a free account to access exclusive content, play games, solve puzzles, test your pop-culture knowledge and receive special offers.
