Tyler and Ashley of Love Is Blind seem to be on a road from the pods to the alter.
Let's be real: One of the best parts of Love Is Blind is watching the drama that some of the couples get into, both in and out of the pods. However, we also do love a good, drama-free love story.
And in season 7 of Love Is Blind, Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser are thus far on an easy, breezy path to what seems like married bliss. The couple bonded immediately in the pods, got engaged, were thrilled to meet each other IRL, and seemed to have a completely drama-free time on vacation in Mexico during the first six episodes of the season.
Of course, this is Love Is Blind. So TBD what happens once this pair returns to the real world. Here's everything we know about the couple, and where their relationship stands today.
Who are Tyler and Ashley from Love Is Blind?
Tyler Francis is a 34-year-old account manager for a company that sells walls and doors in Northern Virginia. Like many of his fellow season 7 pod-sters, Tyler is a military veteran. According to his LinkedIn, he served nearly nine years in the Army and during that time got his associate's degree in business administration from the College of Southern Maryland.
In the pods, we learned that he loves to cook, likes to hike and be outdoors, and is a Libra. During a date, he told Ashley he'd gotten an Australian Shephard puppy shortly before he went on the show; thanks to the magic of Instagram and some light stalking, we know his puppy's name is Kobe. And yes, he has his own account!
Ashley Adionser is a 32-year-old marketing director working in the political space. She attended college in Philadelphia, where she also got her MBA. She also launched a home decor brand in 2021. She and Tyler first bonded over the fact that while he loves to cook, she is a self-described huge foodie.
According to her Instagram, Ashley does a lot of charity work with her friend Telli Swift, an influencer and reality star. She frequently posts about her work as a board member with Swift's charity, Boxing WAGS Association, which aims to support women and families.
If these two can't make it work…
What went down on the show?
Tyler and Ashley had an immediate connection, chatting easily about their hobbies. Tyler admitted he was nervous to go into the pods, but thanks Ashley for helping his anxiety with her calming voice and presence.
The two soon delved into deeper topics, with Tyler sharing his experience with being raised by a single mother. He shared that his mother, who was Serbian, sometimes struggled to put food on the table after facing discrimination from her family for having children with a man outside of her race. His experience, he said, made him want to create a loving, happy family for himself.
From there, their dates just seemed easy. They swapped blankets, enjoyed some extremely looking delicious wings “together," and prayed together. After one heartfelt date in which Tyler said a prayer over their dynamic, he emerged from the pod dancing a “stroll of a man in love.”
Thus, of course, when he got on one knee, she said yes! And when the couple met face to face, they couldn't have been more thrilled, both dissolving into tears. In Mexico, the two only continued their engaged bliss. They hung in the hot tub and agreed over a meal that they don't care if their families and friends think they are “crazy” for doing the “experiment.” Aww!
In the preview for the rest of the season, Tyler and Ashley are barely featured, except for a tense scene where she looks troubled wearing a hat.
Does this spell hard times ahead? We aren't sure, but we have to say that if their drama isn't being teased heavily, that actually spells good things for them overall.
Did they get married on the show, and are they still together?
Still tbd!
