Warning: Major spoilers for Love Is Blind season seven, episodes one through nine, ahead.
Tyler and Ashley of Love Is Blind seemed to be on a road from the pods to the altar—until a totally insane revelation in episode nine changed everything. For some reason, Tyler chose to not share with his fiancée in the pods that he was a sperm donor to three kids. Yes, three.
Here’s everything we know about the couple, and where their relationship stands today.
Who are Tyler and Ashley from Love Is Blind?
Tyler Francis is a 34-year-old account manager for a company that sells walls and doors in Northern Virginia. Like many of his fellow season seven podsters, Tyler is a military veteran. According to his LinkedIn, he served nearly nine years in the Army and during that time got his associate’s degree in business administration from the College of Southern Maryland.
In the pods we learned that he loves to cook, likes to hike and be outdoors, and is a Libra. During a date he told Ashley he’d gotten an Australian shepherd puppy shortly before he went on the show; thanks to the magic of Instagram and some light stalking, we know the puppy’s name is Kobe. And yes, Kobe has his own account!
Ashley Adionser is a 32-year-old marketing director working in the political space. She attended college in Philadelphia, where she also got her MBA. She also launched a home decor brand in 2021. She and Tyler first bonded over the fact that while he loves to cook, she is a self-described huge foodie.
According to her Instagram, Ashley does a lot of charity work with her friend Telli Swift, an influencer and reality star. She frequently posts about her work as a board member with Telli’s charity, Boxing WAGS Association, which aims to support women and families.
What went down on the show?
Tyler and Ashley had an immediate connection, chatting easily about their hobbies. Tyler admitted he was nervous to go into the pods but thanked Ashley for helping his anxiety with her calming voice and presence.
