Marriage Disagreement Led to the Split
According to insider sources, the central issue driving the couple apart was disagreement over when to get married. “They couldn’t come to an agreement on when to get married,” one source stated. “She was ready years ago, he still needed time.” This fundamental difference in timing ultimately proved insurmountable for the pair.
During Season 4 of Love on the Spectrum, which dropped just days ago on April 1, Abbey opened up about her hesitation around marriage. She revealed that she didn’t want to rush into tying the knot, fearing she might end up divorced like her mother. Yet during the same season, after co-stars Madison Marilla and Tyler White got engaged, Abbey expressed, “Hopefully we’re next!” The conflicting feelings about their future clearly created tension.
