Another couple from Netflix‘s popular reality show, “Love Is Blind,” has announced they are divorcing after four years of marriage.
Kwame Appiah and Chelsea Griffin, who met and married on season 4 of the headline-making dating series, shared a heartfelt and lenghty message about the status of their relationship after months of speculation.
While fans haven’t been privy to what’s gone on behind the scenes since leaving the show, during their season of “Love Is Blind,” Appiah and Griffin had a rocky start, leaving fans with more questions than answers.
Appiah and Griffin announced their plans to split with a joint post on Instagram. “Last week would have marked our fourth wedding anniversary,” Griffin wrote. “Out of respect for the life we shared, I wanted to address this moment directly with the community that has supported us over the years.”
She called the end of her marriage to Appiah “heartbreaking,” adding that the outcome wasn’t what she hoped or planned for. “I entered this relationship with deep love, commitment, and the intention of building a lasting life together,” she said.
Griffin explained that she and Appiah noticed that they were drifting apart, and while they have love for one another, they needed more.
“My mantra going forward is that I am strong, I am resilient, and there is still so much ahead of me,” she added.
Appiah Said His Divorce From Griffin Has Been ‘One Of The Hardest Decisions’ Of His Life
Appiah, meanwhile, shared a similar sentiment and added that their decision to split has “been on the hardest” he’s ever had to make.
“We built a life filled with memories, laughter, and love that I’ll always be grateful for,” he added. “We will always have respect and care for each other in everything we shared.”
According to Appiah, it was in the couple’s “best interest” to go their separate ways after realizing they weren’t aligned with their “life goals.”
The ‘Love Is Blind’ Couple Appeared To Deny Rumors That They Were Splitting In April 2026
Griffin and Appiah’s announcement comes just weeks after the pair appeared to shoot down rumors that they had broken up.
According to Cosmo, Griffin shared an image to her Instagram Stories in April 2026 of herself and Appiah enjoying the sun on their patio.
Appiah reshared the post to his own page and added the caption, “Sitting in what once was a pile of dirt & wood chips.”
Speculation surrounding the couple’s union ramped up over the past few months after users noticed that Griffin had stopped using Appiah’s last name and was missing her wedding ring in some photos.
Appiah And Griffin’s Story On ‘Love Is Blind’ Wasn’t Sunshine And Rainbows
While Appiah and Griffin’s split might be hard to hear, social media users seemed to believe it would eventually come.
For those who may be unfamiliar, Appiah and Griffin’s journey toward each other on “Love Is Blind” wasn’t the traditional love story.
According to Us Weekly, Appiah was involved in a love triangle with Griffin and Micah Lussier. His heart was set on the latter; however, when she connected with someone else, Appiah ran back to Griffin.
After asking Griffin to be his wife, Appiah said that he made the right decision. “I think no matter what, especially when you start looking at the life that you have now, but when you think about the connection I have with Chelsea — the pod relationship you have with someone [is] completely different from the actual relationship you have with someone,” he said.
He added, “Like, when I went past the pods with Chelsea, I was just like, ‘OK, this is almost a reflex for us, the way we interact, the way we understand each other.’ I just don’t believe that would’ve ever been the case with Micah, and I can respect that.”
