Netflix’s ‘Love on the Spectrum’ has been celebrated for its compassionate storytelling, respectful representation, and ability to challenge misconceptions about autism and love. One of the standout love stories from the series is that of Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman. The couple first met on a blind date in the first season and returned for the third season, giving fans a deeper glimpse into their evolving relationship. As things became more serious, they faced important questions and challenges, but they approached everything with love, respect, and mutual understanding, making their journey truly endearing to watch.
Abbey and David Made Many Plans For Their Future During the Season
Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman first met on a blind date during the first season of ‘Love on the Spectrum,’ and it was an instant success for both of them. Their first meeting took place at a zoo, where they bonded over their shared love for animals, especially lions. The connection between them was immediate, leading to effortless plans for future dates. On Christmas Day, David asked Abbey to be his girlfriend in front of her family—a moment that truly felt like fate had brought them together. What made their relationship so special was the way they consistently showed up for each other, offering love and support in the ways the other needed most.
In the second season, David surprised Abbey and her family with a trip to Africa after she mentioned it had always been a dream of hers. Determined to make the wish of his “amazing girlfriend” come true, he went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience, making Abbey feel truly cherished. The third season opened with the couple having serious conversations about marriage, intimacy, and their future together. They both expressed a strong desire to get married, acknowledging that while changes in their routine and daily life would present challenges, they were ready to face them together with love and commitment.
The couple brought their families together to celebrate three years of their relationship, marking a beautiful milestone filled with love and appreciation. They took a moment to express gratitude for each other, recognizing how they had become a pillar of strength in each other’s lives. As they sat on a boat, enjoying a romantic meal, they reflected on their journey and the support they had provided one another. Their families were equally thrilled to celebrate with them, sharing in their happiness and offering words of encouragement. While the larger question of their future and how they envisioned their life together still lingered, Abbey and David chose to focus on the present. They embraced the idea of taking things one step at a time.
Abbey and David Are Still Deeply in Love With Each Other
Abbey and David are still deeply in love and make it a point to express their gratitude for each other every day. In a March 2025 interview, Abbey shared her excitement about the idea of marrying David and expressed that it had always been a dream of hers. She described how the thought of getting married would make her feel like a “princess,” something she had envisioned since she was young. However, she clarified that there has been no official proposal or concrete planning just yet. Despite this, she has previously hinted at the possibility of tying the knot by the end of 2025.
While the idea of change—such as moving in together and adjusting to new routines—remains a consideration, Abbey’s mother reassured that their marriage could be structured in a way that suits them best. Their third anniversary was a celebration of love, with Abbey gifting David a s’mores-making kit—a sweet, thoughtful gesture that perfectly embodied their playful yet meaningful relationship. They also commemorated a fun-filled Valentine’s Day in 2025. Now, the couple seems excited about celebrating their fourth year together. With the love of their families and their deep certainty about each other, it seems like the perfect time for them to take this next step and begin their new chapter together.
Abbey and David Have Shared Many Special Moments With Each Other
From the moment Abbey and David met, there has been a natural rhythm between them, making their relationship feel effortless and meant to be. One of the strongest interests they share is their love for ‘The Lion King,’ a film that holds special meaning for both of them. In December 2024, they had the incredible opportunity to attend the premiere of ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ hand in hand. Their shared fascination with the film’s story has led them to many other special events since their return from Africa. In October 2024, they attended TDF’s autism-friendly stage production of the beloved story, an experience that was both enjoyable and meaningful to them. Additionally, they were present at the 30th anniversary celebration of the film at the Hollywood Bowl in June 2024. In fact, they lovingly and goofily call each other “lion and lioness.”
Abbey and David’s families share a close and loving relationship and often come together to enjoy birthdays and special occasions. In May 2024, when Abbey’s mother celebrated her birthday, David was there like a son, fully embraced by the family. Similarly, Abbey has become a cherished part of David’s family as well. Their dream vacation to the Bahamas in 2024 was even more special because both of their families joined them. Both of them work as content creators, and Abbey has her hat business to tend to. Still, despite their busy schedules, they make it a priority to meet at least twice every week. In May 2024, the pair visited the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, where they enjoyed stargazing and the serene atmosphere, marveling at the panoramic views of the city.
Their love for discovery and learning also led them to the Discovery Cube Science Center, a place that sparked their curiosity with hands-on exhibits. In December 2024, the couple immersed themselves in the magic of the holidays by attending the LA Zoo Lights event, which transformed the zoo into a dazzling wonderland of lights and interactive displays. They particularly enjoyed the animal-themed light displays. The duo’s commitment to advocacy is another shared passion. They actively speak out for people living with autism, with David often sharing his personal experiences with Synesthesia. To support various causes, they attended the Wells of Life Stories of Hope Gala Auction in October 2024 and the Geneva Centre for Autism Symposium in November 2024, standing up for awareness and inclusion.
