Love Is Blind's Lydia Velez-Gonzalez Accuses Estranged Husband Milton Johnson of Cheating Amidst Divorce Drama
Lydia Velez-Gonzalez from Love Is Blind has leveled accusations of cheating against her estranged spouse, Milton Johnson. This comes shortly after he alleged she subjected him to “cruel” treatment throughout their union, as Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.
Lydia, aged 34, submitted a revised divorce petition on Tuesday, September 30. Her filing specified May 31, 2022, as their wedding date and March 31 as the date they parted ways.
Lydia asserted that Milton, 27, engaged in “adultery.” She further alleged that Milton was responsible for “cruel treatment,” rendering their cohabitation untenable. Lydia declared that any chance of reconciliation was nonexistent.
Within her legal submission, she sought to be granted her individual assets. Additionally, she petitioned for a court mandate preventing Milton from contacting her through any means, such as phone calls, text messages, or video chats, “Using vulgar, obscene, or indecent language, or in a coarse or offensive way.”
Lydia’s request included restraining Milton from any form of threats against her, making “one or more anonymous phone calls at unreasonable times, in an offensive and repetitive fashion, or without a valid reason for contact,” or inflicting physical injury upon her.
She further sought a court directive to forbid Milton from utilizing any password or her private data to access her email, social media profiles, or any other personal accounts.
Moreover, Lydia’s petition requested that Milton be prohibited from disrupting the water, electricity, or other utilities at their residence in Texas. She desires sole occupancy of the home during the ongoing case, with Milton restricted from entering the property.
She additionally seeks for the court order to incorporate language preventing Milton from deploying any tracking or surveillance device on her personal property or vehicle.

Lydia, who described their relationship’s beginning as “beautiful,” and Milton’s separation was publicly revealed on June 11 when she declared her divorce filing during an installment of the “What’s the Reality?” podcast.
She shared, “I have made the choice to file for divorce from Milton. It wasn’t a single issue. It was a succession of circumstances and matters that continuously accumulated. When I questioned him or informed him, ‘Listen, I’ll let you know when the divorce documents are prepared,’ his reply was, ‘I will not endorse the papers without a non-disclosure agreement.’ That was sufficient for me to realize I needed to disclose my truth and my ordeal, as enduring in silence has become unbearable for me.”
