They shared a joint statement on Instagram, as they revealed they had been apart for quite some time and even tried to work through their issues before making this announcement. The couple described their decision to end the marriage as incredibly difficult, made after much thought and emotional consideration.

"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," the joint statement by Love is Blind stars read.

Matt and Colleen also expressed gratitude for the love and memories they shared, stating they wouldn't change a thing and still have deep respect and care for each other. They thanked everyone who supported them and asked for "compassion" as they navigated this transition.
