Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman have been a fan-favorite couple since season 1 of Netflix’s popular series Love on the Spectrum. For individuals who don’t watch the show, Abbey, 27, and David, 31, each have autism, which helped bond them from the start of their relationship. Viewers watched the duo fall in love after their first date on the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, but did they break up five years later?
When split rumors circulated in April 2026 about David and Abbey, fans felt crushed that there was possible trouble in paradise between the series’ longest-lasting pair.
Here, Hollywood Life unpacks all the things we learn about David and Abbey’s relationship amid the breakup rumors.
Did Abbey Romeo & David Isaacman From Love on the Spectrum Break Up?
In accordance with The U.S. Sun, yes — Abbey and David broke up after five years of dating. A source told the publication on April 9, 2026, “Sadly, it’s true that David and Abbey broke up.”
A separate source near David also told the outlet, “They did break up, but he’s doing thoroughly.”
Why Did Abbey & David From Love on the Spectrum Break Up?
Abbey and David broke up because they “couldn’t come to an agreement on when to get married,” one source told The U.S. Sun.
“She was ready years ago, he still needed time,” the insider added.
Were David & Abbey Married?
No, David and Abbey didn’t get married, nor were they ever engaged, despite being the show’s longest-lasting couple.
During season 4 of Love on the Spectrum, Abbey told producers that “neither” she nor David was “able to get married.”
“We already feel like we’re already married in our hearts,” she added, before explaining why she wasn’t in a rush to walk down the aisle.
“I don’t wish to be a divorced lady like my mom,” she identified, referring to her parents’ divorce. “So, that’s why I don’t wish to rush it, take my time to get married.”
Nevertheless, Abbey told her mom, Christine, she wanted “to be a bride so badly” someday.
Abbey and David haven’t publicly addressed the breakup rumors on the time of publication.
