Love on the Spectrum star Abbey Romeo spoke candidly about her relationship with David Isaacman in the weeks before their reported breakup.
“I do [love him],” Abbey, 27, said on the March 24 episode of the “We Need to Talk” podcast. “But he’s not ready to get married. There’s a difference.”
Abbey, meanwhile, wants to eventually tie the knot.
“I do want to be married, but I just don’t want to rush it,” she stated. “I just don’t know when.”
When Was Love on the Spectrum’s Abbey and David’s Last Instagram Together?
Abbey and David, 31, started dating during Love on the Spectrum season 1, which aired in 2022. Multiple outlets confirmed on Thursday, April 9, that the pair went their separate ways after five years together. (Us Weekly reached out for comment.)
During Abbey’s appearance on “We Need to Talk,” her mom further hinted how marriage might look for the then-couple.
“It looks different for whatever part of the spectrum you’re talking about,” Abbey’s mom, Christine, said at the time. “When we talk about autism, we’ll say, ‘Autistic people blank.’ Spectrum is a vague word. We don’t have [a] mental illness spectrum. We have names under an umbrella and we don’t compare.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Abbey gushed over David after host Paul C. Brunson held up a photo of the pair.
“Me and David!” Abbey exclaimed. “[This was] at the Cheesecake Factory at the Grove … recently.”
Abbey and David went on their first date in July 2021, becoming an official couple the following Christmas.

“It was actually in the show,” her mom recalled. “It was all real. I literally have a video. They were outside and I was in my little office and there’s a slider door, and I could see him talking to her … and he said, ‘Will you be my girlfriend?’ I was [surprised because] she had a relationship prior in high school that didn’t end so well, and that was really hard.”
Amid Abbey and David’s romance, they had long been candid about enjoying their time before potentially getting engaged.
“We have fun together and do things we both love like going to the Los Angeles Zoo and Griffith Observatory,” Abbey exclusively told Us in October 2025. “We want to take our time getting married because I don’t want to be a divorced lady like my mom.”
She continued at the time, “We are working on our communication skills because we have different kinds of autism. I am a Gestalt learner and think in memories, and he is very patient with me, and we are still working hard on understanding each other.”
