“Love Is Blind” season 7’s Tyler Francis says he is standing by the decisions he made during the filming of the hit dating series. Two week before the wedding, Tyler dropped a bombshell confession on episode 9, telling his fiancée Ashley Adionser that he is the father to three children.
Ashley admitted that finding out about his so-called “sperm donor babies” led her to question the relationship as she tearfully reflected on their past conversations about wanting kids.
“I’m replaying and thinking of every conversation we’ve had where this could’ve been brought up and I’m thinking ‘Why, why why, why?” she told Tyler in the episode. “I feel like we had such great communication and I don’t understand how, two weeks before our wedding, you drop this kind of bomb.”
“You’ve been running around here talking about how we’re getting married but you’ve also been running around saying how you want to have kids now. And it’s like, whoa,” Ashley continued. “How did you, like, even talk about any of that? I just can’t wrap my mind around it without even considering your past at all?”
Though Tyler acknowledged Ashley’s feelings are “valid,” the father of three also insists he has “no regrets” about how he handled his time on the show.
“I know, going through the process, I was pretty genuine and honest so I don’t think I’m really regretting anything,” he told Daily News before the most recent episodes dropped on Netflix. “It’s got me where I’m at now.”
According to Ashley, Tyler said he isn’t active in the children’s lives.
So Tyler is trying to spin the fact that he was a father to just a sperm donor and not active in the children’s live? Men are WICKED! #loveisblind #LoveIsBlind7 pic.twitter.com/W2HqWX1Xjj

He didn’t provide any further details about the situation, but soon after the episode aired, photos of Tyler with the three children and their mother circulated on social media, leading fans to speculate there’s far more yet to be revealed about his past.
When asked how he felt about the world digging into his life, Tyler admitted it made him uneasy.
“I’m nervous, because it’s like ‘Wow you’re letting the whole world into your love life,’” he told The News. “Yeah, it’s interesting.”
