The pair split after almost 5 years of dating.
News broke of their split earlier this week, with a source telling The Sun: "Sadly it’s true that David and Abbey broke up."
“They couldn’t come to an agreement on when to get married. She was ready years ago, he still needed time," the insider revealed “They did break up, but he is doing very well," a different source confirmed about Isaacman.
Romeo wondered if she would be getting the rock from Isaacman in the season 4 premiere of Love on the Spectrum that debut earlier this month.

'At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways,' the pair said in their joint statement.
“What if he gives me a wedding ring?” she inquired her mother during the episode.
In October 2025, the reality star further gushed over her man and touched upon the topic of tying the knot. “We have fun together and do things we both love like going to the Los Angeles Zoo and Griffith Observatory,” she told Us Weekly at the time. “We want to take our time getting married because I don’t want to be a divorced lady like my mom.”
The two's relationship was chronicled on the Netflix reality show 'Love on the Spectrum.'
“We are working on our communication skills because we have different kinds of autism,” Romeo continued. “I am a Gestalt learner and think in memories, and he is very patient with me, and we are still working hard on understanding each other.”
Romeo and Isaacman also hadn't appeared on each other's social media pages since December 2025 — one sign eagle-eyed fans believed showed proof the two broke up.
The duo often shared their romance online and their last post together last Christmas featured snapshots from their trip to Universal Studios.
