All the Clues 'Love Is Blind' Couple Chelsea and Kwame Were Headed for a Split
Fans were rooting for Love Is Blind's Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah - but after four years of marriage, their romance came to an end.
The season 4 couple, who tied the knot in May 2022, announced their split on May 15, 2026, in a joint statement.
"It's heartbreaking to share that our marriage is coming to an end," Chelsea wrote in her part of the Instagram statement. "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."
Kwame acknowledged in his portion of the announcement, "This isn't something that either of us ever imagined, and it's been one of the hardest decisions to make."
"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," Chelsea said. "I remain grateful for the life, memories and experiences that we shared."
While some fans were shocked that Chelsea and Kwame have parted ways - especially since the news broke days after their anniversary - others saw the cracks in their relationship earlier this year.
Us Weekly breaks down the clues that LiB's Chelsea and Kwame were headed for a split below:
One month prior, the twosome attended Super Bowl LX on February 8 where the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots. "We're at the SUPER BOWL! Honestly a DREAM come true, GO HAWKS! 💚💙," Kwame captained a video from the big game.
That same month, Chelsea posted photos from the football game in honor of Valentine's Day. "Happy Valentines baby!!! My life with you is the biggest most rewarding adventure," she wrote on February 14. "It is our 4th V day and I still have the biggest crush on you. The day we got married, you became a Seahawk by association (lucky you). Now you are a true 12, one BY HEART. 💚💙."

On March 14, the former couple shared a behind-the-scenes video from their time on Love Is Blind. "So much fun 🥰 fr📹🎤🤩 ," they captioned the clip, which Chelsea said was "the moment" she realized she "wasn't about to marry a lame" guy and someone she couldn't have "car jam sessions with."
The video upload marked their last joint post together. Over the next few weeks, both Kwame and Chelsea posted on social media solo with very little acknowledgement of what the other was doing.
Chelsea Griffin's Wedding Ring Disappeared
On March 18, Chelsea posted a photo shoot of herself wearing all green, captioning the post, "It's giving green goddess mermaidcore 🐚💚🪴🌴." While many fans loved the images, some noticed that Chelsea wasn't wearing her wedding ring in any of the Instagram shots.
One month later, Chelsea posted more pictures from the same green-filled photo shoot, which added fuel to the split speculation.
