But Lydia Velez Gonzalez, 33, has now shared that she's filed for divorce from Milton Johnson, 24.
Lydia shared the news during an appearance on What's The Reality? podcast on June 11.
She said: 'It wasn't one thing. It was a layer of situations and things that kept piling up. When I told him, 'Hey, I'll let you know when the divorce papers are ready,' his response was, 'I'm not going to sign the papers unless there's an NDA.'
'I've been quiet for too long. I needed to share my thoughts and my experience because what I've been suffering in silence has been too much for me to be quiet and keep quiet.'

The reality star explained that their relationship had been 'non-existent' since March.
'At the beginning, everything was beautiful,' Lydia said, adding: 'Everything was perfect. It was a fairy tale, and he showed me the kind of love that I've never received before. He loved me for who I was.'
But she went on to allege that their first row came after he refused to stop speaking to his ex-girlfriend.
Lydia also alleged that, during their relationship, women had accused Milton of 'heavily flirting,' and 'buying drinks' for other women.

She said he 'flipped it' on her when she confronted him, but claimed she'd been sent 'proof' from women on social media.

Lydia also alleges that when she asked for a divorce in March, Milton said to her: 'You're too f****** stupid and an untrustworthy person,' and has 'given her the silent treatment' since then.
Despite it all, Lydia says she 'still loves' Milton, and added: 'I cannot keep being in a place where I'm not wanted. I'm trying to put back the pieces that he broke.'
She said they'd attempted couples therapy but added that it hadn't worked to help their relationship.

Another problem occurred with the fact that Milton felt "disrespected" by Lydia posting
swimwear
photos.
Lydia claims that she gave Milton an ultimatum saying she'd stop posting swimwear snaps, if he stopped liking photos of girls in bikinis.
'I stopped and he didn't,' she said, adding: 'What stopped was him engaging with my posts."
The Sun's has contacted Milton's representative for comment.

Lydia went on to say that she thinks their romance lacked 'emotional availability, maturity, support and communication.'
But she says Milton will always be a special person in her story, despite their split.
Lydia and Milton left Love Is Blind as a married couple, after meeting and getting engaged in the pods.
They did have to navigate distance early on in the marriage, with Lydia living in Houston while Milton was based in Long Beach, Calif.

But they ended up moving in together, and decided to coordinate schedules to make their marriage work, amongst the
business
of it all.
Milton said just last year: 'That's our big thing. We share calendars and plan things that way.
'It is a challenge, but it's literally taught us how to really get organized because if we don't get organized, it just gets too complicated."
Things seemed to be going from strength to strength for the couple.

Lydia planned a getaway to Fredericksburg to celebrate their second anniversary, and she raved about her husband last year, in a sweet Instagram post.
She said at the time: 'My love, watching you tirelessly pursue your academic dreams while managing a grueling 55-60 hour work week fills me with immense
pride
. Your dedication and resilience inspire me daily.
'You always provide a sanctuary in your arms, offering comfort even when your own reserves are low.

'Our marriage isn't flawless, but with you, it feels magical. You have an effortless way of showing up for me, piecing me back together when I need it the most.'

Lydia continued: 'You're more than my partner; you're my soulmate, my steadfast companion in this crazy life. Every wrong turn I took before led me straight to you, and for that, I'm eternally grateful. I appreciate you more than words can express. I love you beyond the beyond!"
