Love Is Blind Season 7’s Ashley and Tyler’s Relationship Timeline

Ashley Adionser and Tyler Francis are proof that the Love Is Blind experiment works — even after a roller-coaster journey.

Ashley and Tyler connected sight unseen during Love Is Blind season 7, which was filmed in Washington D.C. in October 2023 and premiered on Netflix one year later. Tyler proposed without seeing Ashley’s face, and they wed within two months of the experiment.

“She made me feel safe. A lot of men look for safety and at that point when I first met her, she made me feel extremely safe,” Tyler exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2024. “It was like a warm soul coming through the wall, and I just knew that that was my person.”

A Pod Love Story

While Tyler went into the Love Is Blind pods without expectations, he couldn’t deny an instantaneous pull toward Ashley.

“I like when you say my name,” he gushed in the first episode. “Your voice is very attractive.”

The pair quickly bonded over horseback riding, a desire to check “skydiving” off their respective bucket lists and the importance of both family and religion.

“I love that you’re consistent,” Ashley told the nuclear security officer. “You felt sincere right away. You didn’t show up as anyone else, you just showed up, like, ‘Hey, I’m sorry, I’m f—ing nervous. This is who I am.’”

She Said Yes!

After Ashley surprised Tyler with an epic balloon display for his birthday, he proposed in the pods.

“You are the most beautiful person on the inside that I’ve ever met. You make me happy like a little kid,” Tyler told Ashley through the wall while on one knee. “I’m toting your blanket around [the living quarters]. This has been the happiest time of my life. You have made me feel safe like I’ve never felt before in my life. You’re such a graceful person, who deserves love as well. God-fearing, I can’t wait to pray with you. I can’t wait to hold your hand [and] I can’t wait to look at you.”

After declaring his love, Tyler asked if Ashley would become his wife.

“I would be honored to marry you, Tyler,” the marketing director replied. “This is f—ing crazy … but so good at the same time.”

Tyler and Ashley met for the first time in the reveal tunnel, where she received her diamond engagement ring — the pair couldn’t stop cuddling.

Real Life Awaits

The duo built on their emotional connection while also exploring a physical one when they traded the pods for a tropical getaway in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

“I’m glad I got to meet you at this point in your life,” Tyler quipped during a pasta-making date. “God’s plan. Great time to meet me. Whew, you would’ve hated me, like, ‘You’re cute, wanna go on a date?’ Just prepare, there’ll be people like, ‘He is not that nice.’ I wasn’t nice to y’all. You didn’t give me a reason to be nice.”

After the trip, Tyler and Ashley moved into an apartment together back in D.C.

A Bombshell Revelation

Their relationship, however, was tested after Tyler suddenly dropped a major revelation — he had fathered multiple children. According to the military veteran, he donated sperm to a friend who couldn’t have biological children.

Ashley felt betrayed that Tyler never told her the truth up until that point.

“You’ve been running around here talking about how we’re getting married, but you’ve also been running around saying how you want to have kids now. And it’s like, ‘Whoa,’” Ashley said. “How did you, like, even talk about any of that? I just can’t wrap my mind around it without even considering your past at all?”

She added, “That’s, like, what? Three extra kids? That’s wild. Like, who are these people? I just feel like I should know that. But I have nothing. You have shown me nothing. Like, ‘Here are the documents that show I’m not involved.’ I need to know, like, everything.”

Tyler also didn’t ask Ashley for “forgiveness,” but rather a chance to move forward.

They Do!

Despite the omission, Ashley wasn’t willing to walk away from their relationship and said “I do” on their wedding day. Her shoes even teased the decision, featuring “I” and “Do” on each sole. Tyler also said yes at the altar.

“I’m so excited. I feel like all the nerves that I felt are now just gone,” Ashley said in a confessional after the ceremony. “I can’t stop smiling; my cheeks hurt.”

The season 7 reunion airs on October 30, 2024, where fans will discover whether Ashley and Tyler are still living in wedded bliss.
