Love Is Blind star Tyler Francis is in hot water again as he owes one of his alleged ex-girlfriends thousands of dollars amid rumors he isn’t involved in the lives of the three kids he fathered, Life & Style can exclusively confirm.
Tyler, 34, owes a woman named Paige Thomas $8,605 in an active civil case, which was filed in Virginia on June 23, 2023, according to legal records viewed by Life & Style. Paige was allegedly in a romantic relationship with Tyler, according to TikTok account storytimewithrikkii. The creator had a conversation with Tyler’s ex and shared alleged screenshots of exchanges between Paige and Tyler, in which she stated that she had “loaned” money to the reality TV personality.
The news comes as the Netflix star is currently facing ongoing rumors of being absent from the lives of his three children. Tyler revealed he was a father of three just two weeks before his scheduled wedding to Ashley Adionser, whom he got engaged to during their time in the pods on Love Is Blind season 7.
At the time, Tyler explained to his future wife, 32, that he had decided to help a lesbian couple he “knew” because they were unable to have children of their own. He called himself a “sperm donor” and suggested that he wasn’t involved in the children’s lives in any way. Tyler also claimed he didn’t “think” his kids knew what he looked like.
After the episode aired, Bri Thomas, the mother of the children, quickly shut down his claims of being simply a “donor” in a lengthy post on social media.
“I have no understanding why he would characterize his relationship with his children as he has,” the mom of three wrote on October 10. She also shared footage of the Netflix star spending time with the three children — a 7-year-old son and 5-year-old twin daughters — during the holiday season, directly nullifying his claim that he wasn’t involved in the lives of the children he fathered.
“‘Family… Holidays… what does that look like.’ Here a few videos three days after Christmas ‘22 (Filming occurred October 2023. Which makes this the Christmas before filming),” Bri wrote in the since-deleted post. “My children love their ‘Dad.’ To think that he has reduced them to ‘sperm babies,’ when I was told he was going on the show to be able to better provide for them, is the most absurd and hurtful thing ever. My kids don’t deserve this.”
Bri continued to clear the air about the timeline of their relationship, claiming they conceived their 5-year-old twin daughters as a result of “natural unplanned intercourse with absolutely no complexity surrounding parentage.”
“I fully admit I have not always been the most comfortable with that truth due to the fact that I’ve lived the majority of my life as a lesbian,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, October 19. “Nonetheless, it is exactly that, the truth.”
Life & Style exclusively confirmed that Tyler’s custody case with Bri was reopened after the production of Love Is Blind season 7. Bri initially filed for custody in Baltimore City Circuit Court in October 2021, and the case was settled on May 6, 2022. However, it was reopened in January 2024, with the next disposition hearing set for November 15.
Additionally, Lovetta Thomas, who claimed to be Bri’s mother, directly hit back at Tyler’s claims and said he had a direct role in naming the twin daughters.
“YOUR KIDS don’t know what you look like??? THIS CAN’T BE REAL … He lies with a STRAIGHT FACE!!! AND THE OSCAR GOES TO…. Like it’s really funny at this point!!!” Lovetta wrote alongside a clip of the Love Is Blind episode she shared via Instagram on October 16. “AND who named the twins Tyler??? What’s your middle name??? Well one of my girls name is… Kamari ‘Lee’ Can yall guess Tyler’s middle name?? What about the girls birth certificate? This is a Game Now!!!”
Tyle seemingly broke his silence on the accusations, teasing an explanation for the drama on October 14. “Just be patient, I’ll explain it all very soon,” he commented on Instagram in response to a viewer from his verified account.
In an additional comment, he said that he “didn’t owe anyone an explanation.”
“But I’ll give you one lol the conversation was longer than what was shown and a lot of off camera conversations were had,” he concluded.
