It’s over for Love Is Blind‘s Matt Bolton and Colleen Reed.
The couple, who met and got married on season 3 of Love Is Blind, announced their split in a joint statement on Instagram Friday, May 23.
“We wanted to share something personal, and this is not easy to do, but after nearly four years together, we’ve decided to end our marriage and move forward on our own paths,” they wrote. “We’ve been separated for some time now and have being our best to work through everything privately and with care.”
“This was an incredibly difficult decision, not one we made lightly. It came with a lot of thought and it’s been an emotional process for both of us,” they continued. “We met in the most unique and unexpected way, and we’ll always be grateful for the love and memories we’ve shared. There’s not one thing we would change and we continue to have deep respect and care for one another.”
The joint statement ended with them thanking everyone who supported them through the years and asking “for compassion as we navigate this transition.”
Matt and Colleen met during season 3 of Love Is Blind. In the pods, he popped the question and Colleen gave a tearful “yes.” However, their relationship wasn’t all smooth sailing outside of the pods. Once Matt and Colleen met in person, they found themselves in a few arguments related to another man on the series — Cole Barnett — as well as Colleen’s desire to go out with friends.
Despite some tumultuous moments, both Colleen and Matt said “I do” during the season 3 finale. They were one of two couples to get married that season along with Alexa and Brennon Lemieux.
Shortly after their season premiered, Matt opened up to PEOPLE about the challenges that they faced on the show, why he was partially “looking for an out” of the relationship and what led him to ultimately say “I do” to Colleen.
“Obviously there were a lot of conversations that you guys didn’t see,” he said in November 2022. “Going through those, I’m glad that we did go through those little stir-ups though because it allowed us to learn how we handle certain things.”
“We saw so much potential, and it was just on the day of, we still didn’t know. But when I saw her walking down the aisle, I was like, ‘Listen, we’ve got too much potential,’ ” he continued. “‘This is such a great moment. We are meant for each other.’ So we just had to do it. Can’t pass it up.”

At the season 3 reunion, Matt and Colleen confirmed they were still married. Some viewers questioned how long their relationship would last after social media commenters pointed to an apparent discomfort from Colleen at the reunion, despite talking about their strong connection.
However, she addressed the speculation in a statement to Cosmopolitan. “Going into the reunion, I was not in good headspace as I was dealing with a lot of anxiety due to the negative commentary I had endured during the first few episodes,” she said.
“While I knew what I had signed up for, at that point I was not prepared for the gravity of strangers critiquing my profession that I am incredibly proud of, my character, and tearing down my body/physical traits,” she continued, noting that she was also “embarrassed” about having to watch her scenes with Cole back.
Matt and Colleen also faced breakup speculation when fans questioned why they weren’t living together despite being married.

On Deepti Vempati and Natalie Lee’s podcast, Out of the Pods in 2023, Colleen put the rumors to rest as she revealed the couple “practically live together already” with how much time Matt spent at her place, and they wanted to know what their relationship would look like in the real world before moving into a shared home.
“To kind of adapt to now living with someone, it takes a while,” she explained. “It takes a second, and both of us didn’t want to rush changing that, all of a sudden expediting that for other people.”

No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease

No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease “a number of years ago.”
The musician shared the “personal update” with his Instagram followers on Saturday, clarifying in the caption that he is “doing well.”
The 58-year-old went into detail about his health issues in a video, filmed from his home.
“I went to my doctor, I went to a neurologist, did a whole bunch of tests, and I was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease,” he recalled in the upload. “It’s been a struggle. It’s a struggle every day.”
Acknowledging the band’s upcoming Las Vegas residency, Dumont noted “the good news” — he can “still play music.”
He added, “I can still play guitar. I’ve been doing really well.”
As for why he chose to share, Dumont explained, “I’ve just been very inspired by other people who have come out to talk about their health issues on social media, and that sort of thing.”
“I think it helps erase some of the stigma, and it raises awareness obviously,” he continued. “And awareness is really important for prevention and for research.”
Dumont, elsewhere in the video, gushed about how much “fun” it has been preparing for the Sphere residency, which kicks off in Sin City on May 6, with singer Gwen Stefani, drummer Adrian Young and bassist Tony Kanal.
“Looking through old footage and looking at old photographs and relearning old songs and rehearsing … it’s kind of made me think about how grateful I am for the life I’ve gotten to lead as a musician all these years,” he said.
Dumont concluded, “I’m really excited about the shows, can’t wait to see everybody.”
His fellow No Doubt band members shared supportive comments over the weekend.
“My friend, bandmate, and hero, I love you brother,” Young, 56, wrote, while Kanal, 55, commented, “Love you beyond words my friend. Can’t wait to get on stage with you again.”
Trombonist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Gabrial McNair, for his part, wrote, “You are such a beautiful soul, Tom!! I love you so much and can’t wait get on stage with you!! LFG!!”
The band formed in 1986 and have gone on hiatus multiple times as Stefani, 56, pursued a solo career.
They reunited in for a Coachella 2024 performance after nearly a decade apart, and their most recent show together was at the FireAid LA benefit concert in January 2025.

Sabrina Carpenter apologizes for mistaking fan’s cultural chant with yodeling in awkward Coachella moment

Sabrina Carpenter delivered an apology after she misidentified a fan’s celebratory Arabic call as “yodeling” during her Coachella headlining set in an awkward moment that sparked outrage.
“My apologies,” she wrote on X on Saturday afternoon. “I didn’t see this person with my eyes and couldn’t hear clearly. My reaction was pure confusion, sarcasm, and not ill-intended. Could have handled it better!”
“Now I know what a zaghrouta is!” she added. “I welcome all cheers and yodels from here on out.”
During her Friday night performance on the California festival’s main stage, Carpenter paused between songs after hearing a loud call from the crowd.
After finishing her hit “Please Please Please,” she sat at her keyboard as the audience quieted — except for one fan who continued shouting.
“I think I heard someone yodel,” Carpenter said, prompting the fan to repeat the sound.
“Is that what you’re doing?” she asked. “I don’t like it.”
“It’s my culture,” the fan replied.
“That’s your culture, is yodeling?” Carpenter said.
“It’s a call of celebration,” the fan explained.
Carpenter didn’t engage further with the clarification and instead joked, “Is this Burning Man? What’s going on? This is weird.”
The exchange quickly spread online while many people identified the sound as “zaghrouta,” a traditional celebratory vocal expression used in Arabic cultures at weddings and parties.
The moment fueled debate on social media over whether Carpenter’s reaction was appropriate.
“The way Sabrina doubled down and decided to continue to be ignorant even after it was clarified yodeling is part of that person’s culture says a lot about her,” one disappointed fan tweeted.
“Did Sabrina Carpenter just call that girl’s culture weird and creepy?” another added.
Others, however, defended the “Espresso” singer amid the backlash.
“She clearly could not hear the girl speaking,” one user wrote. “You have to remember she’s all the way up on stage.”
Before introducing her next song, Carpenter explained to the crowd why there was a slight delay, saying, “You know, the last time I played Coachella, I had some crazy piano malfunctions, so I’m making sure that we’re good here.”
She then introduced the track “We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night”, telling fans, “I wanted to sing you guys a song I’ve never sung before from ‘Man’s Best Friend.’
“If anyone here has ever been in a relationship that starts, and ends, and then starts and ends, and then starts, and then ends, and then maybe it starts again and ends again, I’m singing this directly to you.”
Carpenter’s Old Hollywood-themed show also featured several surprise appearances.
Susan Sarandon made a cameo as an older version of the pop star in a theatrical segment, after recently saying she had been blacklisted in Hollywood over her pro-Palestine views.
Will Ferrell appeared onstage in a comedic bit as an electrician dragging a cable, Samuel L. Jackson contributed a voiceover segment during “Juno,” and the performance opened with a black-and-white intro featuring Sam Elliott.

‘Love on the Spectrum’ stars Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman break silence after split

“Love on the Spectrum” stars Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman have confirmed their split.
“Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other,” Romeo, Isaacman and their families told People in a joint statement on Friday.
“At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways, but they remain friends wishing each other the best.”
News of the split first surfaced on Thursday, with a source telling the US Sun “they couldn’t come to an agreement on when to get married.”
The source told the outlet that Isaacman was the hold up as Romeo “was ready” to tie the knot “years ago,” but her partner “still needed time.”
Despite the breakup after five years of dating, Romeo, 27, still showed some love to Isaacman, 31, as she shared her support for the release of his new children’s book, “The Big Five Save the Lions.”
Just two weeks before their breakup hit the news cycle, Romeo was gushing about her love for her now-confirmed ex on the “We Need To Talk” podcast.
She told host Paul C. Brunson that the couple enjoyed going to places like the LA Zoo, Disneyland, Universal Studios and the Griffith Observatory together, and shared what she likes about him.
“He says things that make me feel good, he covers my ears when there’s a certain noise I don’t like,” she said.
Isaacman and Romeo met and fell in love in Season 1 of the hit show, which aired in 2021.
The exes shared their marriage plans during Season 4 of “Love on the Spectrum,” which premiered April 1.
“Neither one of us are ready to get married,” Romeo told producers.
“We’re already married in our hearts,” the “Boyfriend Forever” singer explained, adding that she did not “want to be a divorced lady like [her] mom” and plans to “take [her] time.”
