With Danny and Evan TV exclusive ‘Love on the Spectrum’ star Dani Bowman reacts to Abbey Romeo, David Isaacman’s split: ‘I totally understand why’ By Evan Real and Danny Murphy Published April 27, 2026, 1:31 p.m. ET “Love on the Spectrum” fan favorites Dani Bowman and Aarti Garg are sharing their heartfelt reactions to the recent breakup of co-stars Abbey Romeo and David Isaacman — and their responses are as thoughtful as they are supportive.
Speaking exclusively while promoting their upcoming appearance at Netflix’s “Netflix Is a Joke” comedy festival, Bowman expressed empathy for both Romeo and Isaacman following news that the couple had ended their five-year relationship.
“The fact is I kind of also feel bad for Abbey and David to break up,” the Danimation Entertainment founder told Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea.”
“It’s lovely to see, but I totally understand why David doesn’t want to get married right away. But the most important thing I have to [say] for both of them is that life isn’t a race. It’s OK to take your time and I understand why. I totally understand why. They have different perspectives, but that’s OK.”
The split, which was revealed earlier this month, reportedly stemmed from differing views on the future — particularly around the timeline for marriage. While Romeo was eager to take the next step, Isaacman was more hesitant, ultimately leading the pair to part ways despite their deep bond.
Bowman, known for her candid and optimistic outlook, also offered words of encouragement directly to Romeo, “And Abbey, when one door closes, the other door will open.”

Garg echoed a similarly compassionate tone, emphasizing the strength of both individuals and their families.
“I know that Abbey and David and their families are absolutely incredible,” she shared. “And even if their journey ended where it is, I mean, they’re going to be just fine. They’re all amazing people and we’re grateful to have them as friends.”
Garg added that authenticity remains key when navigating relationships and life transitions. “I think as long as they’re true to themselves and they’re as authentic as Dani and Subodh are, I think they’ll be just fine. I think they’ll be OK,” she said.
The supportive comments come as Bowman, Garg and her brother, Subodh Garg, gear up for a major live event celebrating neurodivergent voices in entertainment. The trio is involved in “Laughs on the Spectrum,” a one-night-only comedy-variety show opening the Netflix Is a Joke Fest on May 4 at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood.
Hosted by Bowman and produced by KutSharp Productions, the show will reunite several “Love on the Spectrum” stars while also spotlighting emerging neurodivergent talent and allies. The event will double as a fundraiser for Autism in Entertainment and Spectrum Laboratory, underscoring the group’s ongoing commitment to advocacy and representation.
“Love on the Spectrum” is available to stream on Netflix.
