Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah are calling it quits.

The reality stars, who got married during production of the season 4 finale of *Love Is Blind* in 2022, announced that they are splitting up after four years of marriage. The pair shared individual statements about their separation in a joint Instagram post.

"Last week would have marked our fourth wedding anniversary. Out of respect for the life we shared, I wanted to address this moment directly with the community that has supported us over the years," Griffin wrote. "It's heartbreaking to share that our marriage is coming to an end.

This is not the outcome I hoped for, and l entered this relationship with deep love, commitment, and the intention of building a lasting life together."

Griffin shared more context about the buildup to the couple's breakup. "As time went on, it became clear that we were growing in different directions," she explained. "I poured my whole heart into this marriage and wanted it to work until the very end, but lasting marriages require more than love alone."

She also emphasized that she doesn't regret the time she spent with Appiah. "I remain grateful for the life, memories, and experiences we shared," Griffin wrote. "I don't believe any chapter of our lives is wasted, each one shapes us, teaches us, and becomes part of our personal journey.

My mantra going forward is that I am strong, I am resilient, and there is still so much ahead of me, just as there was the day I stepped into the pods."

Griffin said that this moment feels "deeply painful," but she trusts that "healing and clarity will come with time," and also requested privacy as she adjusts to a new normal. "Thank you for the kindness and support you've shown us throughout the years," she wrote. We kindly ask for privacy and understanding as we navigate this transition."

Appiah shared similar sentiments in his own statement. "Last week would have been our wedding anniversary," he began. "Unfortunately, we're taking this moment to announce that after 4 years together, we're going our separate ways. This isn't something either of us ever imagined, and it's been one of the hardest decisions to make."

He also expressed his appreciation for the time he spent with Griffin. "We built a life filled with memories, laughter, and love that I'll always be grateful for," Appiah wrote. "We will always have respect and care for each other in everything we shared."

He continued, "We're eternally grateful for all the love, support and purpose we gained during our time together. As difficult as it's been to arrive here, I believe it's in our best interest considering amongst many other things, that our ultimate life goals don't feel aligned."

Appiah's statement concluded, "Thank you all for the many years of support. Much love to you all."
