Love on the Spectrum fan favorite Abbey Romeo and her longtime love David Isaacman split up after five years together, and now, her mom Christine, is providing more information.

“Abbey and David had a long relationship of four-and-a-half years … Abbey has grown a ton since she started both social media and Love on the Spectrum. She started to understand her own story [and] see herself as a person with autism in the world, learn how to accept her autism and still try to have a relationship and fit in. None of the growth would have happened without David,” she said in a YouTube video.

“David was happy in his way of doing life. And Abbey’s was different. And they found that out over this period of time,” she added.

She continued, “I’m personally grateful to David for being a mirror for her to see and figure out what she wants, who she is, what’s [her] love language. The other part of that is please don’t judge autistic relationships as if they were typical. So many people on the spectrum are not going to do what typical people do.”

She then disputed some headlines about why they may have split up.

“I think they will have a forever-bond. There was no fight. By the way, all the headlines — bulls***. Just so we can be clear over that. There was no fight over engagements and rings being thrown around,” she shared.
