Colleen And Matt From "Love Is Blind" Announce Divorce
It's over for Love Is Blind's Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton.
After almost four years together, the reality stars have announced they're getting a divorce.
In a joint statement shared to Instagram, they wrote, "Hi everyone, we wanted to share something personal, and this is not easy to do, but after nearly four years together, we've decided to end our marriage and move forward on our own paths."
They continued, "We've been separated for some time now and have been doing our best to work through everything privately and with care. This was an incredibly difficult decision, not one we made lightly. It came with a lot of thought and it's been an emotional process for both of us."
And although it didn't work out, they said they'll "always be grateful for the love and memories we shared. There's not one thing we would change and we continue to have deep respect and care for one another."
They concluded the statement by thanking fans for their support before requesting privacy as they navigate their next chapter.
Matt and Colleen first met on Season 3 of the Netflix dating series, getting married in Episode 11. Fans will remember them for deciding not to move in together immediately after their wedding, as well as Matt's often divisive behavior in disagreements with Colleen. They finally moved in together in June 2023, almost two years after they wed. Divorce rumors have swirled for the past several months due to Colleen allegedly being seen without her ring, and Matt's limited presence on her social media pages.
Here's what people had to say about the news of their split:
Good luck on your next chapters, Matt and Colleen.

'The way Ginny & Georgia season 3 explores Marcus's depression is the most accurate depiction on TV right now'
Ginny & Georgia may initially have presented itself as an off-beat, OTT teen drama, but these labels haven't stopped the Netflix series from digging deep into more serious issues. The third season is certainly no exception; the show's latest outing has seen a frank and vital discussion about abortion, as well as a thoughtful exploration about PCOS and periods. However, perhaps the most poignant storyline in the third outing of Ginny & Georgia is Marcus's ongoing battle with depression, and the seismic impact it has on those around him. The series has openly navigated mental health issues before; season two saw Ginny grappling with self-harm, and agreeing to see a counsellor to get help – but Marcus's deep descent into a severe depression this season is particularly powerful. In order to cope with his worsening mental health, Marcus begins to self-medicate and turns to alcohol in an attempt to quieten the loudening voices in his head. Things spiral so badly, the series finale sees him being driven to rehab. It's an incredibly realistic look at depression – and makes it all the more important that we see Marcus (exceptionally portrayed by Felix Mallard) battling through it. We see him drinking excessively, distancing himself from his friends and loved ones, having emotional outbursts and spending increasing amounts of time in his room alone. While there's been a lot of focus in the media about the worsening mental health of young girls and women (and rightly so), boys and men are also experiencing a worrying rise in mental health disorders. Data from NHS England found that 22.3% of boys aged between eight and 16 have a probable mental health disorder. Suicide is also the primary cause of death in men under 50 in the UK. There have also been increasing pushes and more awareness to talk about our mental states, but patriarchal structures have still led many boys and men to shy away from discussing their feelings. A lack of openness may be what is causing some young men to find darker avenues online in order to get some answers or reassurances (and falling foul of the manosphere in the process of doing so). Marcus is a welcome foil to that, with the series showing the truly destructive nature of depression and the impact it can cultivate on our loved ones. The newest season only builds upon previous outings, where we saw Marcus speak openly about his mental state: 'When it hits you fully though, when you're really in it, it's everything. It's who you are, you're nothing else,' he said in season two. 'On the outside, you look the same; smiling and pretending is so much work, but inside, it's a different story. You start to hate yourself. You're so alone, so unbelievably alone.' It's a real and raw observation of an illness, without pandering to its young audience. While the storyline has been praised by fans of the series online, there are still a worrying amount of viewers who are either ignorant or willingly misunderstand what depression is. One TikTok, that has garnered over 22,000 likes, saw the poster ask: 'I'm sorry but I can't be the only one who did not understand why Marcus was depressed in the first place.' Despite huge pushes for there to be greater understanding about mental illness, few people seem to truly grasp that depression is not necessarily circumstantial. Regardless of Marcus's privilege of having a loving family and a roof over his head, depression does not discriminate. You can live a perfect, happy and frankly gilded life, and still feel a shadow darkening over you – for no reason at all. Your guilt for not feeling the way you should, can only emphasise this feeling of depression. Ginny & Georgia also deserves praise on how depression can eat away at those caring for you. We see this through Max, who cares deeply for her twin brother. While she tries to cover her concern with her naturally vivacious personality, and using her own happiness as a way to elevate depressed Marcus, we see her beaten down and exhausted by the end of season three, with some of her core relationships in tatters. While the third season of Ginny & Georgia ends on a hopeful note, with Ginny's poem reassuring Marcus that he's not on his own, it's important that the series emphasises that their relationship is not the most important factor in Marcus's road to recovery – rather, he needs to mend the relationship he has with himself. By showing its young audience the reality of this illness, perhaps we can finally start to truly understand all the different ways depression can appear, and also the way in which it doesn't discriminate.

Landon Donovan, Christian Pulisic, and the drama over USMNT stars not playing
The faces of two different generations of the United States men's national soccer team are engaged in a bit of a drama. While commenting on Portugal's celebration in its win over Spain in the UEFA Nations League final for FOX Sports on Sunday, USMNT legend Landon Donovan took an implied dig at Christian Pulisic and other U.S. players for their decision to sit out the upcoming Concacaf Gold Cup. "This is what it means to represent your country," Donovan said as the broadcast showed Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portugal teammates celebrating the triumph. "This is what it means. And if you don't want to take this as a professional soccer player, as someone who gets the opportunity to wear that jersey and take it seriously and responsibly, then don't come in. This is what it means. "[Ronaldo's] 40 years old. He's played a long ass season. He's tired. He's out there grinding. Hurt himself in the process, and I can't help but think about some of our guys on vacation, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's pissing me off." Even though Donovan didn't name Pulisic or any other current USMNT player, Pulisic's father certainly viewed it as a slight. Mark Pulisic fired back at Donovan in an Instagram post on Monday, posting a screenshot of him asking ChatGPT why Donovan took a sabbatical in 2012-13. "Landon Donovan took his sabbatical because he was feeling both physically and mentally exhausted after years of intense competition and the pressure that comes with being a top athlete," ChatGPT replied to the elder Pulisic's question. "He'd been playing professionally from a young age and had participated in multiple World Cups, so he felt the need to step back and take some time for himself. This break allowed him to rest, travel, and ultimately return to the game with a refreshed mindset." While the younger Pulisic hasn't commented on Donovan's remarks, he seemed to co-sign his father's sentiments. He liked the post his father made on Monday, drawing more attention to the matter on social media. Pulisic, 26, had a career year for AC Milan in 2024-25, leading the club in goals (17) and points (27) across all competitions. He also played in 50 matches for his club team, logging a career-high 3,650 minutes this past season. USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie also came to the defense of Pulisic following Donovan's remarks. McKennie will also miss the Gold Cup, but he's playing for his club team, Juventus, in the Club World Cup. Other USMNT stars like Antonee Robinson (knee surgery) and Yunus Musah are also missing the Gold Cup. "Obviously, none of us take for granted playing for the national team. None of us want to lose games," McKennie told USA Today on Monday. "All of us want to compete. And for me, it's a little bit, I won't say sad, but as a former national team player, I think as a national team player pool – previous, present – I think it's more about trying to build or even say something like that to a person directly rather than putting it out there. "That's just my opinion because we've all been through those moments, even when comments about us losing the Nations League were made by many players from before, but they've had the same thing on a bigger stage with not qualifying for the World Cup." Donovan's comments were the latest made by a key member of a previous generation of USMNT soccer criticizing the younger stars who asked to be excluded from the roster due to rest. Former USMNT star Clint Dempsey said that while he's a fan of Pulisic and other players, he questioned their competitiveness following their decision to pull out of roster consideration for the Gold Cup earlier in June. "In terms of his situation, I can't say what it is, I don't know the ins and outs of it," Dempsey told the "Men in Blazers" podcast. "But in terms of my situation, when I played in Europe and came back, there were times where I was tired. I had to get a PRP injection in my adductor. I had to maybe rest for some of the friendly games so that I could be fit to play in the tournaments. "Whether it was Gold Cup, whether it was Copa [América], whether it was Confederations Cup, whether it was the World Cup. Like I wasn't gonna miss competitions. That's just the kind of guy that I always was. So for me, I don't understand it because that wasn't my mentality. I always wanted to play in those games." FOX Soccer analyst Alexi Lalas, a former USMNT defender and two-time World Cup veteran, also criticized Pulisic. "I don't understand how a player turns down the chance to represent his country when it needs him most, especially at such a crucial time," Lalas said on FOX Sports' "State of the Union" podcast. "This is a tough blow for Pulisic's image and for the team — when they need a positive presence, this summer should have been the perfect opportunity to build experience ahead of the World Cup."
