After three years of marriage, <em>Love is Blind</em> is facing another high-profile divorce as Season 5 alumni take center stage. Lydia Gonzalez publicly announced her split from Milton Johnson on her Instagram account, revealing the shocking news to fans. In a candid discussion with AD Smith on her podcast What’s the Reality?, Lydia shared, “It wasn’t just one issue; it was a series of circumstances that accumulated over time. When I mentioned, ‘Hey, I’ll inform you when the divorce papers are ready,’ his reply was, ‘I won’t sign the papers unless there’s a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).’”

“I’ve kept quiet for far too long. It was essential for me to express my thoughts and experiences because the emotional turmoil I’ve endured has been overwhelming,” she explained, shedding light on her decision to disclose the separation. Lydia admitted that since March, their relationship had become virtually “non-existent,” noting that significant issues arose just six months into their Love Is Blind wedding. For avid fans of the show, this divorce may not come as a complete surprise; what truly astonishes is the duration of their marriage.

Lydia Discloses the Reasons Behind Her ‘Love Is Blind’ Divorce

In her heartfelt social media post, Lydia shared an enchanting video montage of their relationship, accompanied by poignant commentary. “Our beginnings were genuinely magical, akin to a love story from a novel, and it felt like a fantasy, a fairytale. As I compose this, I want to clarify that I initiated our separation, not because my love for you has dissipated, but because our love story has reached its conclusion,” she expressed. “I never envisioned this ending; nor did I wish for any ending, to be honest. I often find myself questioning what transpired? What caused this change? If only I could rewind and mend it. As you read this, you may feel anger towards me. You’ve always reacted strongly when I ‘overshared,’ but this is an essential part of my healing journey, and I’m gathering the pieces you shattered. No one could fathom the depth of pain I endure as I write this, nor the countless sleepless nights I’ve faced.” It seems that her vulnerability may have been exploited, an aspect that some fans noticed early in their relationship.

The latter part of her statement resonated with her podcast remarks, where she stated, “Initially, everything was beautiful and perfect. It felt like a fairytale, and he loved me for who I truly am.” She then accused Milton of refusing to cease communication with an ex, which led to frequent arguments, and he allegedly attempted to shift the blame onto her, questioning why she would “even entertain” the rumors surrounding them.

Challenges Faced by Lydia and Milton From the Beginning

During Love is Blind Season 5, Lydia and Milton were the only couple from Houston to tie the knot. A significant obstacle in their relationship surfaced when it was revealed that Lydia’s ex, Uche Okoroha, was also part of the experiment. Despite a notable 7-year age difference, the couple was optimistic about their chances for success. Throughout their first year as husband and wife, they faced long-distance challenges, but they persevered through these struggles. While celebrating their anniversary, Lydia shared with People that, “I’ve encountered several hurdles in recent months, and he has consistently supported me, always stopping whatever he’s doing to listen and be present.” She disclosed her battle with fibromyalgia, recounting her experiences to her followers, and during the podcast, she claimed her husband was not as supportive during her fight with chronic illness. If her allegations hold true, his lack of support could have been the breaking point.

Despite the divorce, Lydia maintains that Milton will always hold a special place in her heart. She expressed on the podcast, “I will always, always, always say that he took a piece of my heart with him. He was the first man to genuinely love me, and that is not insignificant.” However, she is now moving forward with a renewed perspective, one that emphasizes self-worth and not settling for less. “There has been profound grief, heartbreak, and significant personal growth,” she shared with AD. “But here I am, and I take immense pride in my strength and the resilience I continue to showcase in life.” Lydia and Milton join an increasing roster of couples from the show who have faced similar fates. Notable post-show breakups include Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton (Season 3), Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson (Season 2), Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Rogers (Season 2), as well as Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis (Season 7).
