After months of rumors, Deepti Vempati and Kyle Abrams confirmed their relationship in the three-part Love Is Blind: After the Altar special, which premiered on Friday

Deepti Vempati and Kyle Abrams are going their separate ways.

Abrams announced on Instagram Monday that he and his Love Is Blind costar are no longer dating.

“I understand many of you are curious as to where Deepti and I stand today,” he wrote. “Since After the Alter was filmed, we had decided to go our separate ways in early summer.”

But Abrams, 30, is not married. “I have since begun a new relationship that I desire to keep private for the time being,” he added.

Vempati, 31, has not yet responded.

She and Abrams both appeared in the second season of the Netflix sensation. Despite the fact that the twosome admitted during the post-finale reunion that they had previously linked in the pods, Vempati accepted a proposal from Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee, while Abrams proposed to Shaina Hurley.

Both relationships deteriorated and neither party chose to tie the knot. From there, Vempati and Abrams continued to draw closer, even sparking dating rumors. In March, Vempati told Elite Daily that the pair were still “figuring it out.”

Abrams told the media what initially made him hesitant to take their relationship to the next level.

“I put so much pressure on myself because I was like, ‘I don’t want this to fail,'” he said. “I was hesitant to jump in for that reason because she was my best friend. And if it doesn’t work out, you kind of lose the friendship. Because if you break up for whatever reason — and I wasn’t planning to break up — but you always have to think about what happens after.”

He continued, “I’ve been in that situation where you start dating your best friend and then you break up. You can’t really see that person anymore because it’s not fair to your future person. I wouldn’t want my current girlfriend to be hanging out with her ex-boyfriend. It’s not cool. I don’t think anyone would like that.”

Abrams went on to say that the prospect of losing Vempati as his best friend was “holding me back.” But becoming a couple had no effect on their chemistry.

“After that, it was as if nothing had changed because I felt like we were already dating,” he explained. “We almost saw each other every day.” We talked for hours. Everything was done in collaboration. She’d even met my family, so it wasn’t strange at all.”

Abrams thanked followers and Vempati in an Instagram post on September 19.

“Thank you to everyone who has followed our journey through arduous vulnerability and has supported us along the way,” he wrote. Later, he concluded, “As for what the future holds, I have not a clue. Going forward I plan to live each day in the present without any regret.”

After the Altar and the first two seasons of Love Is Blind are now available on Netflix.
