One of *Love on the Spectrum*'s most successful matches, Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman, have confirmed their decision to call it quits.

"Abbey and David spent four and a half years together and truly value the time they shared and each other," Romeo, Isaacman and their families said in a statement to PEOPLE* *on Friday. "At this point, they want different things and have decided to go their separate ways, but they remain friends wishing each other the best."

Romeo and Isaacman, who are both autistic, met on the first season of Netflix's beloved reality dating series. The two were paired on a blind date that ultimately led to flirting, courtship, commitment, and marriage talk that played out publicly over the span of years.

Isaacman shared in an interview for Autism Awareness Month that he was 2 years old when he was diagnosed with autism. "I was too young to know about what my diagnosis meant," he said. "Growing up, I noticed that I would line up my animal figurines differently than anyone else by organizing them in a straight line."

Romeo and Isaacman aren't the only couple who met on *Love on the Spectrum*. Madison Marilla and Tyler White met on season 3 and announced their engagement in a season 4 episode, which dropped on April 1.

"It's an amazing feeling," Marilla told PEOPLE that same day.
