One of Love on the Spectrum's most successful matches, Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman, have confirmed their decision to call it quits.

"Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other," Romeo, Isaacman and their families said in a statement to PEOPLE on Friday. "At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways, but they remain friends wishing each other the best."

Romeo and Isaacman, who are both autistic, met on the first season of Netflix's beloved reality dating series. The two were paired on a blind date that ultimately led to flirting, courtship, commitment, and marriage talk that played out publicly over the span of years.

Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Romeo and Isaacman.

Love on the Spectrum is based on the Australian series of the same name. Each season follows a new group of individuals on the autism spectrum navigating love, dating, and relationships. Romeo and Isaacman proved such a popular couple that they recurred on all four seasons of the the series.

During the third season, which aired in 2025, the couple candidly discussed their plans for the future.

"Abbey? I think I know exactly where you and l are gonna get married," Isaacman told her in one scene. "One day, we will live together and we shall adopt children."

Romeo responded, "Unless I get pregnant with one, if I stop taking those birth [control] pills."

Romeo opened up about being diagnosed with autism at the age of 2 in a video shared to Instagram in 2024.

"Life with autism has been very hard. In elementary school, I was more aware of the other kids and that I was different," she explained.

Isaacman shared in an interview for Autism Awareness Month that he was "2 years old when I was diagnosed with autism. I was too young to know about what my diagnosis meant. Growing up, I noticed that I would line up my animal figurines differently than anyone else by organizing them in a straight line," he shared.

Romeo and Isaacman aren't the only couple to have met on Love on the Spectrum. Madison Marilla and Tyler White, who met on season 3, announced their engagement in a fourth season episode, which dropped on April 1.

"It's an amazing feeling," Marilla told PEOPLE that same day. White added, "I'm getting emotional just thinking about it right now."
