‘Love Is Blind' Seattle's Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah separate

Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah, who met, fell in love and got married on the Seattle season of "Love Is Blind," have announced they're separating after four years of marriage.

In separate statements posted Friday on Instagram, the Seattle couple wrote they felt they were growing in different directions and their life goals didn't align.

"It's heartbreaking to share that our marriage is coming to an end," Griffin wrote in a statement. "This is not the outcome I hoped for, and I entered this relationship with deep love, commitment, and the intention of building a lasting life together."

Griffin and Appiah were two of 30 people on "Love Is Blind" Season 4, which featured mostly Seattleites. They were separated by walls in pods to find out if they could fall in love without seeing the other person, then make their relationship work beyond the pods.

Appiah proposed to Griffin and the two had immediate chemistry, but Appiah at the time lived in Portland and had reservations about moving to Seattle. Griffin said she wanted to have children early in their relationship, while Appiah wanted to wait.

"We built a life filled with memories, laughter and love that I'll always be grateful for," Appiah wrote in a statement. "We will always have respect and care for each other in everything we shared."

Griffin and Appiah were among three couples to get married at the end of the season, marking Season 4 as one of the most successful of the astronomically popular show's 10 seasons.
