'Love is Blind' Star Lydia Arleen Vélez González Splits from Milton Johnson Amidst Cheating Scandal

SCANDALOUS SEPARATION!

Love is Blind's Lydia Arleen Vélez González, 33, has shockingly announced her divorce from hubby James Milton Johnson IV, 27, just three years after exchanging vows in a whirlwind romance that captivated Netflix audiences.

The drama-filled union hit the rocks in October 2022 when Milton refused to cut off communication with an ex-girlfriend he was still harboring feelings for. When Lydia snooped on his phone and discovered incriminating texts confessing his desire to "f* her" and admitting she'd been "all around this d lately," Johnson's response was nothing short of appalling: "You're too f**ing stupid and an untrustworthy person."

But that was just the beginning. The couple's fairytale TV wedding turned into a nightmare when Milton accused Lydia of invading his privacy, sparking a heated argument that left their relationship in tatters.

The ex-couple's marital woes continued to simmer, with Milton allegedly nagging Lydia for being too outspoken and criticizing her online posts as "promiscuous." When Lydia confronted him about his own infidelity, Johnson claimed she was just jealous of the attention he was receiving from other women.

But Lydia wasn't having it. In a stunning expose on Amber Desiree 'AD' Smith's podcast What's the Reality?, the 33-year-old geologist revealed the full extent of their tumultuous relationship, including Milton's refusal to sign divorce papers unless there was an NDA in place.

"It wasn't one thing that broke us," Lydia confessed. "It was a layer of situations and things that kept piling up... I'm trying to put back the pieces that he broke."

And then there were the shocking revelations about Milton's behavior behind her back. According to Lydia, she discovered DMs from women claiming Johnson was flirting with them and paying for their drinks before receiving an email from another woman with 4am FaceTime screenshots of him inviting her to his hotel.

"That was it for me," Lydia said. "I was like, I cannot continue... Maybe the internet was right, that he wasn't ready for marriage. I don't think he was ready to be a husband."

But what really took the cake was when Lydia was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Milton refused to let her take a leave of absence from work because she was the breadwinner.

"You're not dying, you just have to eat healthy and work out," he allegedly told her, leaving Lydia feeling belittled and dismissed.

The final nail in the coffin came when Lydia caught Milton looking at naked photos of other women online. When she confronted him, he threatened to call the police on her for having a "meltdown" on her birthday because he was too busy playing Halo video games all day.

"I still love him, unfortunately I do," Lydia admitted. "But I'm never gonna settle for less than I deserve... I'm not gonna keep choosing feeling belittled, feeling dismissed. I cannot keep being in a place where I'm not wanted."

With her ex-husband now demanding an NDA before signing divorce papers, Lydia is finally free to move on from the toxic relationship that had drained her of her energy and self-worth.

As she embarks on this new chapter of her life, fans can't help but wonder what's next for the star of Love is Blind. With her successful influencer career and paid partnerships with top brands like K Beauty Lab, Doris Metropolitan, Commense, Akira, Miranda's Boutique, and Smith and Pietro JetSki Rentals, Lydia has already proven herself to be a force to be reckoned with.

But for now, she's just focused on putting the pieces back together and moving forward – one step at a time.
