Love Is Blind star Alex Byrd has opened up about her split with Tim Godbee, shedding light on their off-camera struggles.
The couple, who got engaged during season 7 of the Netflix show, faced communication issues that ultimately led to their breakup.
In a recent interview, Alex addressed claims made by Tim on social media, where he suggested she hadn’t put effort into the relationship and implied it was toxic.
She clarified that the breakup wasn’t mutual, countering his narrative.
According to Alex, Tim was often reserved about his concerns while filming, only addressing them after the cameras stopped rolling, which led to arguments.
“He was strategic in what he shared on camera,” Alex stated per Us Weekly, adding that he would wait until they were off-camera to voice any issues, sometimes resulting in heated exchanges.
