‘Love Is Blind’ Star Tyler Francis’ Shady Past Comes to Light, Including DUI Arrest and Hidden Kids

‘Love Is Blind’ Star Tyler Francis’ Shady Past Comes to Light, Including DUI Arrest and Hidden Kids 

Tyler Francis, one of the standout stars of Love Is Blind Season 7, is facing more scrutiny than he likely anticipated.

While fans were busy watching him find love with Ashley Adionser on the Netflix dating show, others were digging into his past — and what they found was surprising, to say the least. Along with hiding the fact that he’s a father to three children, Tyler has a criminal record that includes a DUI arrest.

Tyler’s Hidden Children and Criminal Past

On Love Is Blind Season 7, Tyler appeared to be on the road to romance with Ashley, but things started to unravel in Episode 9. That’s when Tyler dropped a bombshell on Ashley: He’s the father of three children. While Tyler made it sound like a sperm donation situation, the truth, as revealed in a now-deleted Instagram post from the mother of his kids, paints a different picture. However, it’s not just Tyler’s complicated family situation that has fans raising their eyebrows — his run-ins with the law are also coming to light.

According to a report by Life & Style, a deep dive into Tyler background revealed that he was arrested for DUI back in 2008. The incident wasn’t minor, either. He was charged with three misdemeanors: DUI with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or more, DUI for a combination of liquor, drugs, and vapors, and extreme DUI for a BAC of .15 or more. To make matters worse, Tyler was also hit with a reckless driving charge and a misdemeanor for speeding.

The Legal Fallout of Tyler’s DUI

While Tyler DUI might have been a serious offense, he appears to have avoided significant legal consequences. Despite the five charges filed against him, they were eventually dropped. Thankfully, no one was injured during the incident, but the fact that Tyler never mentioned this part of his past on Love Is Blind raises questions about how much he was willing to reveal about his life.

It seems Tyler hoped to keep his checkered past under wraps, but with fans and internet sleuths digging up details, it’s become another layer to his already complicated story. His legal issues, coupled with the revelation of his three kids, suggest there’s much more to Tyler than what was shown on-screen.

Love Is Blind and Questionable Contestants

This revelation about Tyler isn’t the first time a Love Is Blind contestant’s past has raised concerns. During Season 5, a contestant made headlines when she accused the production team of pairing her with a man who not only lied about his background but also turned out to be jobless, emotionally abusive, and addicted to drugs. She ultimately filed a lawsuit against the production company, highlighting a troubling trend of questionable casting choices on the show.

While Tyler’s DUI arrest and secret children don’t reach the same level of scandal as the Season 5 debacle, it’s hard to ignore the cycle of controversy that seems to follow Love Is Blind. Season after season, it feels like there’s always something lurking just beneath the surface — and Tyler’s story is just the latest example.

What’s Next for Tyler on ‘Love Is Blind’

As the revelations about Tyler’s past come to light, it’s unclear how this will affect his relationship with Ashley or his portrayal on the show. Viewers will have to wait and see if Tyler addresses any of these issues on-camera or whether they’ll remain part of the off-screen drama.

For now, fans can only speculate about what other skeletons may be hiding in the closets of Love Is Blind contestants. But one thing is certain: With every season, it becomes more apparent that finding love on TV isn’t as simple as it seems.

Love Is Blind Season 7 is currently streaming on Netflix.
