Love Is Blind season 7 introduced a larger-than-usual group of new couples, including Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser, whose relationship is now being questioned due to Tyler’s alleged double life being revealed by fans. Love Is Blind season 7, which was filmed in Washington, D.C., features a group of singles who are sick of looking for love amidst a flurry of outside noise. With the singles meeting each other in the pods and developing connections as they move through their time together, the current season of Love Is Blind provides a lot more of an inside scoop than before.

Getting engaged and coming out of the pods together, Tyler and Ashley have been fairly drama-free during their time on their Love Is Blind honeymoon, but in real-time, Tyler’s being dragged for his alleged behavior. According to u/iwatchalotoftv22 on Reddit, Tyler allegedly has three children who he hid from Ashley and the entire Love Is Blind cast. While the details aren’t entirely clear, Tyler allegedly “was an active father until the show” but chose to scrub his social media clean of the mother of his children, his three kids, and his own mother before Love Is Blind season 7.

In a since-deleted TikTok, Tyler’s ex shared details about his life before Love Is Blind, explaining that he disappeared from their lives around the time that Love Is Blind season 7 began filming. According to Tyler’s ex, he currently owes her $30,000 in child support and hasn’t been around his children in months. “My heart will break for [Ashley] if she’s finding all this out along with the rest of us,” u/Deep-Kaleidoscope202 shared. After learning about Tyler’s alleged children, other women came forward to share that he’d cheated on his Love Is Blind fiance with them, as well.

What Tyler’s Alleged Double Life Means For Love Is Blind Season 7

Tyler’s Past May Come Back To Haunt Him

Although Tyler and Ashley’s relationship seemed like somewhat of a dream during the initial episodes of Love Is Blind season 7, there have been some red flags between the pair since the beginning. Ashley and Tyler appeared to have very similar personalities, both preparing breakfast for the rest of the male/female cast, respectively, during their time in the pods and both finding themselves leaning on prayer throughout the process. While Tyler may have been keeping some secrets from Ashley, he seemed to be deeply forthcoming about his life and his beliefs, which makes him having a family so shocking.

In future episodes of Love Is Blind, it’s teased that Ashley finds some information out about Tyler just days before their wedding that gets her emotional. Tearfully, it appears that Ashley struggles with whatever it is she learns during the future episode, which could mean that Tyler’s alleged children come into play. Though Ashley and Tyler seem to have a fairly drama-free relationship up to that point, something as big as Tyler hiding an entire family from his Love Is Blind fiancé could make her question whether or not she wants to continue building her relationship with him.

There Has To Be More To The Story

Although it seems likely that Tyler does have children that he hasn’t alluded to on Love Is Blind, there has to be more to the story than what’s being revealed online. Tyler, who’s based his entire persona on being a good-natured person, could be tricking everyone, but there may be more information that would explain everything. One running theory that seems true is that Tyler was a sperm donor, but remains involved in the children’s lives. While the Love Is Blind season 7 star needs to provide answers, there has to be more than meets the eye to the story.

Love Is Blind season 7 drops new episodes on Wednesday, October 9 on Netflix.
