As season seven of Love Is Blind played out on screen, Tyler Francis has been accused of lying about his children on the reality dating series—and the details just keep getting worse.
Despite connecting with 32-year-old marketing director Ashley Adionser in the pods, the 34-year-old account manager neglected to mention his biological children until after the pair got engaged and returned from their honeymoon. However, the internet has called bullshit on basically everything he said on the show after his confession.
Here's all the rumors that have surfaced since season seven began airing on October 2—and how everyone involved has responded.
What went down on camera?
Tyler had not discussed his children in the first six episodes of Love Is Blind, which dropped on October 2. However, an off-screen confession led to a frank discussion about his three children (two girls and a boy) during episode 9.
Based on his conversation with Ashley, it seemed Tyler had acted as a sperm donor and was uninvolved in the children's lives. At the time, Ashley was more upset about the timing of his revelation than the fact that he was a father. “Once you’re not given the full picture of something, it's hard to not question everything,” she told him.
As Love Is Blind viewers know, Ashley decided to give Tyler a chance to regain her trust and we got a bit more context from Tyler during the next drop on October 16. “I had a very close friend, her and her wife wanted to have a baby,” Tyler says in episode 10. “And they couldn't afford a sperm donor. I thought that was God telling me, ‘Help someone else.’ And it felt good.”
What they don't know (yet) is whether or not they got married—or if Tyler was telling the whole truth about his connection with his children and their mom.
So, what's the drama?
Before episodes 7—9 even dropped on Netflix, Love Is Blind fans were able to dig up that Tyler had children, among other allegations about a former relationship. In one photo shared online, he's wearing a shirt that says, “Dope Dads Raising Dope Kids.”
