The Love Is Blind season seven reunion has finally arrived and we got our biggest question answered – what is the truth behind the Tyler and his kids drama? Well, it took a year from filming but we got to the bottom of it last night. Tyler addressed what really happened between him and the mother of his kids, and the truth is a surprisingly green flag.
Tyler’s explanation

Tyler got quite emotional telling his side of things: “Those kids, that family, they did not sign up for this. So what is happening now is I am trying to keep that from happening. Their birth certificates are online. Things that shouldn’t be happening are now happening.”
He then explained the story from his point of view: “To get into the story, I did help a friend and her wife start a family, but her wife ended up leaving her and left her high and dry. This was my very close friend. So I stepped in, voluntarily stepped in and helped. So there are pictures of me around. You’ll see me around.
“I’ve spent holidays with all my friends, you know, all their kids. And I played a part that became very shaky with a friend. There are no rule books to this. But I do wanna let people know Ashley knows all this.”
Tyler then clarified that Ashley was well aware of the full truth, but he didn’t owe anyone else an answer: “This is news to the world, this has never been news to us. And I’m giving this explanation now because I feel like the world is waiting for it. But I don’t owe anyone an explanation but my wife.”
What did Ashley have to say?

Ashley stepped into the conversation and addressed a lot of the hate she was getting on social media. She asked, “who do you think has better insight into what’s going on, social media or me?” She also claimed it was “insulting to my intelligence” to imply that she didn’t know what was going on.
“This is something he never wanted to share on camera. I just didn’t feel like it would be an authentic experience, or that I could continue with the experience if we didn’t. I think there would have been a disconnect and the viewers would have noticed… so I told him, in some capacity, we have to talk about this,” she pressed.
Lying for the cameras
She then explained how Tyler tried to lie on Love Is Blind season seven to keep the truth about the kids out of the spotlight: “There was one time I said ‘do they know what you look like?’ And he’s like, ‘I don’t think so.’ And you could tell that he was trying to lie.”
Host Vanessa Lachey clarified: “Let me say that he was trying to lie for the cameras but you guys already had this conversation.” I’m still not sure I have my head around it, but if they’re happy, I’m happy I guess!
