'I felt betrayed': 'Love is Blind' star Lydia explains why she divorced husband Milton
'I felt betrayed': 'Love is Blind' star Lydia explains why she divorced husband Milton Show Caption Hide Caption Milton from 'Love is Blind' reflects on fiancée Lydia's past with Uche Milton Johnson from Netflix's "Love is Blind" opened up about his relationship with fiancée Lydia and why he loves that they're so "different." Fan favorite "Love Is Blind" couple Lydia Velez Gonzalez and Milton Johnson are divorcing after three years of marriage. The pair, who met on Season 5 of the hit Netflix dating show, are splitting after turmoil in their marriage, Gonzalez revealed on a Wednesday, June 11 episode of the What's the Reality? podcast. While their marriage once felt like a fairy tale, the 34-year-old geologist said she now feels that Johnson was never ready to be a husband. "It wasn't one thing. Yeah, it was a layer of situations and things that just kept piling it up," Gonzalez told host and fellow "Love Is Blind" alum Amber Desiree "AD" Smith. When Gonzalez informed Johnson that she would file for divorce, he allegedly said he would not sign them unless there was a non-disclosure agreement. "And that said enough for me to know that I needed to share my truth and my experience, because I've been suffering in silence," she said. "This is just my chance to speak my truth for me and for other people that always reach out to me and tell me that I'm an inspiration. I feel that it was very hypocritical me not share this with the world when they have been so transparent with me." Lydia said Milton would not cut off 'disrespectful' ex-partner One of the first signs of trouble in their marriage was an argument the two had about one of Johnson's ex-partners, according to Gonzalez. She considered the woman "very insistent" and "very disrespectful towards our marriage." She added that he also kept a ripped up love letter from the woman in a shoebox at their apartment. At one point, Gonzalez went through Johnson's phone and said she found a text from him referring to the woman that read "I want to (expletive) that person." "When I saw that my heart went to the floor. I felt like betrayed and disrespected," she said. "And then I remember calling him and telling him, 'how long has it been that you want to (expletive) this person.' And he was like, 'what are we talking about.'" Johnson denied any infidelity, adding that he would never jeopardize their marriage and said "that's how boys talk," according to Gonzalez. USA TODAY has reached out to Johnson for comment. 'Love is Blind' pair tried marriage counseling Gonzalez said that her husband felt that she had violated their trust and one day called her "stupid and an untrustworthy person." "I don't consider myself a jealous person, unless you give me motives to, once you give me motives to I'll become a detective. I don't care because my gut instinct is so clever. I mean, it never fails me," she said. She added that the two participated in couple's therapy but that she felt it was not working. Gonzalez said other issues included Johnson becoming distant and addicted to the video game "Halo" and him allegedly scolding her in front of his family for cursing too much. Over time, she said his comments "kept making me feel small" and eventually made the decision to end the relationship she once felt showed her the "kind of love that I've never received before." The pair met on Season 5 of the reality dating show on Netflix, in which contestants looking for romance interact via pods designed to keep their appearances a mystery.

Ananda Lewis, TV Host and Former MTV VJ, Dead at 52
TV personality Ananda Lewis, best known for her years as an MTV video jockey, has died after a battle with breast cancer. She was 52. Lewis' sister Lakshmi revealed the news on Facebook Wednesday, writing alongside a photo of her sibling, 'She's free, and in His heavenly arms. Lord, rest her soul.' More from TVLine Harris Yulin, Frasier and 24 Actor, Dead at 87 Chris Robinson, of General Hospital and Bold and Beautiful, Dead at 86 Cheers Star George Wendt's Cause of Death Revealed Lewis first shared her breast cancer diagnosis in October 2020, when she revealed in an Instagram video that she had been 'fighting to get cancer out of my body for almost two years.' At the time, Lewis was battling Stage 3 breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes, and she expressed regret over not getting a mammogram sooner, due to fear of radiation exposure. Four years later, Lewis said her cancer had metastasized and advanced to Stage 4. In a conversation with CNN's Stephanie Elam and Sara Sidner last year, Lewis said she went against her doctors' advice to get a double mastectomy, instead choosing to treat the disease through alternative homeopathic methods. 'I decided to keep my tumor and try to work it out of my body a different way,' she said. 'Looking back on that, I go, 'You know what? Maybe I should have [gotten the mastectomy].'' After a three-season stint as host of BET's youth-centric talk show Teen Summit, Lewis broke out in the 1990s as a video jockey (or VJ) for MTV, where she introduced music videos and hosted series (including the interview-focused Hot Zone) until 2001. That same year, she landed her own syndicated talk show, The Ananda Lewis Show, but it was cancelled after just one season. Lewis' additional TV work included entertainment newsmagazine The Insider (where she served as a correspondent in the mid-2000s), Celebrity Mole: Yucatán (on which she competed in 2004) and TLC/HGTV's revival of home renovation series While You Were Out (which she hosted in 2019).
