Kwame Appiah<\/a> and Chelsea Griffin<\/a> have broken up after four years of marriage, first meeting on Love Is Blind season four<\/a>. The two shared the news in separate statements on May 15 on Instagram. \u201cIt\u2019s heartbreaking to share that our marriage is coming to an end. This is not the outcome I hoped for, and I entered this relationship with deep love, commitment, and the intention of building a lasting life together,\u201d Griffin wrote<\/a> in the second slide. \u201cAs time went on, it became clear that we were growing in different directions. I poured my whole heart into this marriage and wanted it to work until the very end, but lasting marriages require more than love alone.\u201d Appiah wrote a similar message, writing, \u201cWe\u2019re eternally grateful for all the love, support and purpose we gained during our time together. As difficult as it\u2019s been to arrive here, I believe it\u2019s in our best interest considering amongst many other things, that our ultimate life goals don\u2019t feel aligned.\u201d<\/p>\n After getting married, Griffin joined the casting team of Love Is Blind, offering an angle where she can speak to potential cast members and share how the show worked for her. \u201cI just don\u2019t feel like I would\u2019ve gotten the opportunity to be on Love is Blind if it wasn\u2019t for an awesome casting team and process,\u201d she told People<\/a> in 2023. \u201cI\u2019ve always had the kind of passion for helping people. And after I went on the show I was like, \u2018You know what? They were amazing and I really do think the show has really, really awesome potential for such great success, if it\u2019s casted well.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018I kind of want to be a part of that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Other Love Is Blind cast members shared their support for both Griffin and Appiah. \u201cIt\u2019s been an honor getting to be friends with both of you,\u201d Zack Goytowski,<\/a> who was also on season four, commented. Taylor Krause from season seven added, \u201cY\u2019all were such kind mentors to Garrett and I and will always be a special part of our love story. I really admire your grace during the toughest decision you have to make publicly.\u201d<\/p>\n Sign up for the Vulture Daily<\/p>\n An entertainment newsletter for the pop-culture obsessed.<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
