Lydia Opens Up About Her Divorce from Milton: "I’ve Suffered in Silence"
So, the news is finally out—and honestly, it's heartbreaking but also incredibly brave. Lydia Velez Gonzalez from Love Is Blind season 5 has come forward to share that she and Milton Johnson are officially over. After nearly three years of marriage, Lydia revealed on the “What’s the Reality?” podcast that she has filed for divorce. And the details she shared? Raw, emotional, and deeply personal.
She explained that this wasn’t a sudden decision or about one isolated issue—it was layers of problems that built up over time. Lydia said, “I’ve been quiet for too long… not because I had nothing to say, but because I wasn’t ready for the judgment.” And when she told Milton that she was preparing divorce papers, his only response was that he wouldn’t sign anything unless she agreed to a non-disclosure agreement. That moment, she said, was the turning point. It showed her she needed to speak her truth.

What’s even more upsetting is hearing how she describes the emotional neglect she experienced. Lydia felt unseen, unappreciated—even disrespected. She shared how Milton never complimented her, never supported her publicly, not even on social media. And when she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2024, she said he dismissed her health struggles, telling her she just needed to eat well and exercise. That’s not support—that's erasure.
There was also a financial strain. Lydia tried to take a medical leave, feeling burned out, and Milton’s alleged response was a hard no. She claimed he prioritized their finances over her well-being. He wasn’t helping with bills, wasn’t emotionally available, and wasn’t willing to meet her in the middle. And to top it off, Lydia says their communication has been non-existent since March. Complete silence.
She said that when she asked for the divorce, Milton’s response turned into gaslighting—calling her “stupid” and “untrustworthy.” That’s just toxic. If you love someone, truly love them, you don’t turn away, you don’t shut down. You listen. You show up. You take accountability.
It’s really sad because they were the only couple who got married at the end of season 5, and everyone rooted for them. They had that sweet, nerdy connection—bonding over rocks, of all things! It seemed like a love story that could really work, despite the age gap and outside drama.
But love isn’t just about compatibility or cute beginnings—it’s about how you show up when things get tough. And from what Lydia shared, it sounds like she was standing alone far too often in that relationship.
It’s easy to judge from the outside, but it takes courage to walk away from something that’s draining you—even when the world is watching. Lydia deserves healing, peace, and someone who genuinely lifts her up. I hope she finds it.
