Love on the Spectrum fan favorites Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman are thinking about expanding their family, as revealed in the latest season of Netflix's heartwarming series.
"One day, we will live together and we shall adopt children," David, 30, told Abbey in a preview clip from season 3, released March 31.
The statement prompted Abbey to offer an alternative perspective:
"Unless I get pregnant with one, if I stop taking those birth [control] pills."
This candid exchange between the beloved couple, who both have autism, offers viewers a glimpse into their future aspirations while maintaining the authenticity that has made them standouts on Love on the Spectrum.
The documentary-style program follows individuals on the autism spectrum as they navigate the world of dating and relationships. Abbey and David's journey began in season 1 when they connected over a mutual love of lions during a visit to a wildlife learning center in California.
Now in their third Love on the Spectrum season appearance, the pair discusses major life milestones, including living together, marriage, and potentially becoming parents—topics that resonate deeply with viewers who have followed their relationship from its early stages.
Love on the Spectrum’s David and Abbey’s plans for the future
The couple's conversation about parenthood didn't stop at conception methods. In a charming hot tub scene, Abbey asked her boyfriend how he would support her during childbirth if they chose to have biological children.
David's response was both practical and endearing:
"Stay very calm. Breathe, breathe, breathe. Hold your horses, just breathe."
The moment showcased the pair's ability to discuss serious life decisions while maintaining their characteristic playfulness and honesty.
After this impromptu birthing simulation, Abbey contemplated the ripple effects a child would create in their extended family.
"I guess my mom's gonna be a grandma!" she quipped, highlighting the couple's consideration of how parenthood would affect their broader family dynamics.
Although the conversation shows that they are open to having children in the future, people close to the couple say that they are presently concentrating on strengthening their bond before making such big decisions.
Although they are not in a rush to make it official, Abbey and David feel so attached that marriage already seems like a formality. They can't wait to commemorate yet another milestone together as they come closer to their fourth anniversary this summer.
Mutual admiration has been the foundation of their relationship, with David expressing his profound gratitude for Abbey's brilliance, generosity, and sense of humor—qualities that have sustained their friendship since their time on the show.
Abbey and David’s journey continues
Their mutual love of lions, which they saw as a sign of courage and strength that they aspire to exhibit in their own lives, was the initial spark that ignited Abbey and David's relationship. David completely agreed with Abbey's explanation that she admired lions because they are courageous.
They have benefited greatly from their shared courage, particularly as they have faced the difficulties of sharing their lives on Love on the Spectrum. Both acknowledged that they were anxious when they first started the Netflix series, but they attribute the experience to changing their lives in unexpected ways.
Their bravery extends beyond personal growth to advocacy. Abbey and David, one of the show's most adored couples, have taken advantage of their position to raise awareness of autism and foster compassion for neurodivergent people. Abbey, who has been candid about the loneliness she experienced as a child, believes that their story may encourage others to have greater empathy.
“Be kind to everyone,” she told E! News in April 2024, emphasizing the importance of treating people with autism and those who think differently with empathy and respect.
David supported this message, adding:
"We should accept people for who they are, whether or not they have autism."
On Love on the Spectrum, viewers are engrossed in Abbey and David's journey toward marriage and possible parenthood as they continue to share their story. Their expanding fan base is further won over by their candor about their plans while upholding reasonable expectations.
Many Love on the Spectrum viewers, especially those in the autistic community who don't often see such genuine depictions of love relationships on television, find resonance in the couple's willingness to talk about private subjects like family planning.
Any future Romeo-Isaacman children, whether adopted or born, would undoubtedly be accepted into a family based on respect for one another, common ideals, and sincere love. But for the time being, Abbey and David appear happy to be fostering their relationship at a speed that suits them both—a lesson in tolerance and sincerity that goes beyond neurological distinctions.
As their fourth anniversary draws near, their narrative serves as another evidence that deep bonds are created via constant attention, discussion, and understanding rather than through hurried life events.
