The Apparent Mom Of Love Is Blind Tyler’s Kids Said He “Disowned” Them
"My children have been disowned and disrespected by their father."
Tyler Francis dropped a bombshell on camera during Love Is Blind Season 7, but the full breadth of his reveal played out on social media. The woman claiming to be the mother of Tyler’s children provided some receipts, along with a shady remark about him. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
At the end of Episode 9, Tyler told his fiancée Ashley Adionser that he had three kids. It’s something he had not revealed to Ashley until just a couple weeks before their wedding, so it totally threw her for a loop. On the show, Tyler tried to soften the situation by saying the kids were created through sperm donation, as he was helping another couple start their family. He went on to say that the kids probably wouldn’t even recognize him... but now it sounds like that may not have been truthful.
Fans had already picked up on some suspicious activity prior to the big reveal. A couple days before the episode dropped, an Instagram user posted a collection of photos of Tyler with her children. She captioned it with some very pointed hashtags, including “#whothrowstheirkidsawayforashow” and “#deadbeatdad.”
From the video, it certainly sounds like the situation is a lot more involved that Tyler may have been letting on to Ashley, at least in the scene that was shown on Love Is Blind. The poster replied to a few comments on TikTok about Tyler’s relationship with the children. “He hadn’t spoken to them in a year,” she wrote in one response. “And yes they ask about him. Ask to call him. Ask when he’s coming.”
About a week later, a woman named Bri Thomas posted a series of videos on Instagram claiming to be the children’s mother, and explained the whole situation. She revealed Tyler is one of her oldest friends, and he donated sperm so she and her ex-wife could have a child. However, before Bri’s oldest son was born, she had broken up with her partner. She said Tyler asked to help raise the child so he wouldn’t grow up with a single mother, like he had.
Then, Bri said her pregnancy with twins shortly afterwards was unplanned, but that Tyler was supportive throughout the pregnancy, even moving in with her and taking her to doctor appointments. When the twins were born, Tyler signed their birth certificates, Bri said.
Bri went on to say that Tyler saw the kids the day before leaving to film Love Is Blind back in September 2023, but cut off all contact after that. The tell-tale sign for Bri was apparently Tyler deleting his FaceBook account full of photos of him with the kids.
“I’m so beyond hurt and angry with him,” Bri said in her final video. “My children have been disowned and disrespected by their father.”
