Ashley has revealed why she defended Tyler for so long following the Love Is Blind<\/a> sperm donor drama, after she previously came under criticism for backing him at the reunion.<\/p>\n

Appearing on AD’s, What’s The Reality? podcast<\/a>, Ashley claimed: “I found the truth myself. He is a sperm donor for the son. To my knowledge, he fathered the twins.”<\/p>\n

She explained that her revelation “immediately” impacted her relationship with Tyler, claiming her former Love Is Blind husband is a “pathological liar.”<\/p>\n

She admitted: “Now I have to question the person I\u2019m laying next to. And I think that that\u2019s such a scary feeling to not know what\u2019s true, what\u2019s not true.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a pathological liar. And I was looking at this man like, \u2018Who are you?\u2019 And if we don\u2019t have the two biggest things in a marriage, which are trust and honesty, then what do we have?\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained the reasoning behind standing behind Tyler when the scandal first came to light at the end of 2024, saying: “When it first came out, when we had the conversation about the sperm donor on camera, but the whole camera crew was, like, crying. People came up to him afterwards and thanked him essentially for his service.”<\/p>\n

Tyler insisted that he “wasn’t active” in the kids’ lives, saying: “If I create a montage of all the things that I\u2019ve done in my life playing basketball, I can make it look like I\u2019m a professional basketball player, absolutely.<\/p>\n

“But to take these pictures over the past five, six, years, you can make it look like I\u2019m very active [as a father], and they\u2019re doing that,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

Ashley also explained that during the Love Is Blind reunion, the long five part video about Tyler hadn’t yet been released, and because she loves him she wanted to defend him as much as she could.<\/p>\n
