The reunion for Season 7 of Love is Blind premiered on Wednesday, October 30, 2024. The cast reconvened to chat with hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey, reflecting on their transformative experiences throughout the series and their lives a year after filming concluded.
Participants entered this unconventional dating show with the goal of finding love without visual contact. However, many faced significant obstacles on their path to the altar. Among these couples, Ashley and Tyler emerged victorious, exchanging vows in the season finale despite various challenges they encountered.
Ashley and Tyler’s toughest obstacle was the revelation regarding Tyler’s children. Just days prior to their wedding, Ashley learned that Tyler had fathered three children through sperm donation, yet claimed the kids were unaware of his participation in the show. Despite these revelations, Ashley decided to proceed with the marriage. Subsequently, news regarding Tyler’s close involvement with his children became public, leading to considerable scrutiny.
During the reunion, Ashley came to Tyler’s defense, asserting that she was aware of his relationship with his children long before it became a topic of discussion online. They had made a conscious decision to portray a different narrative on-screen to safeguard the children’s privacy. She expressed her understanding of Tyler’s predicament, noting that he had “gone a little too deep”with a friend but maintained her support for him.

Reunion Highlights: Tyler Discusses His Children
During the reunion, Tyler addressed the controversies swirling around his children and family dynamics. He admitted that he could have handled matters differently to prevent the leak of crucial information. Looking back, he shared that he donated sperm to a close friend and her wife to assist them in starting their family, but things took a difficult turn when the wife left his friend unexpectedly.
Tyler disclosed that he “voluntarily stepped in”to help his friend, explaining why he was often seen in pictures with the kids. He clarified that his relationship with the children is sound, but acknowledged that his initial intentions had become complicated. Tyler assured viewers that Ashley was aware of the full story and that it wasn’t breaking news for her.
