“Love Is Blind”’s Lydia Announces Divorce from Husband Milton, Drops Shocking Bombshells About Their Marriage in New Interview

Love Is Blind’s Lydia reveals divorce from Husband Milton

Reality TV star Lydia Velez Gonzalez, known for her appearance on Love Is Blind, dropped a bombshell in a recent interview where she announced her split from husband Milton Johnson. The couple, who tied the knot on season 5 of the popular show, has decided to part ways after nearly three years of marriage.

In a candid conversation on the ‘What’s the Reality?’ podcast hosted by fellow Love Is Blind alum Amber Desiree “AD” Smith, Lydia shared the challenges she has been facing since her time on the reality show. She explained that the decision to file for divorce came after a series of issues that had been building up over the years.

According to Lydia, the breakup was not triggered by a single event but rather a culmination of various factors that had put a strain on their relationship. Despite attempts at couple’s therapy, the couple couldn’t salvage their marriage, with Lydia expressing disappointment in the therapy not yielding the desired results.

One of the key issues Lydia highlighted was a lack of emotional availability, maturity, support, and communication from Milton’s end. She pointed out that their age gap and brief long-distance relationship during Milton’s time in graduate school were not the reasons behind the split, emphasizing that it boiled down to fundamental aspects of their connection.

Adding to the complexity of their situation, Lydia revealed that she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in September 2024, a condition that exacerbated the challenges in her marriage. She expressed feeling unsupported by Milton during her battle with the chronic illness, which further strained their bond.

Despite living together at Milton’s parents’ house since March, Lydia disclosed that their relationship had become non-existent, with Milton giving her the silent treatment following her request for a divorce. This silence, coupled with the lack of communication and emotional support, confirmed Lydia’s decision to end the marriage.

In reflecting on her future, Lydia asserted her determination not to settle for less than she deserves. She spoke candidly about her journey towards healing and self-discovery, expressing a desire to move past this difficult chapter in her life. With her head held high, Lydia stated her resolve to rebuild the pieces of herself that had been affected by the breakup.

As Lydia navigates this new chapter post-divorce, she acknowledges the support she has received from Milton’s parents, whom she still holds dear despite the challenges in her relationship with their son. With a mix of sadness and determination, Lydia looks ahead to a future where she prioritises her well-being and refuses to compromise on her self-worth.
