Love Is Blind's Ashley Carpenter has defended her father, Paul Carpenter, against claims that she is "oppressed" by him. This comes after he was criticized for questioning her then-fiancé Alex Henderson about his life during their first meeting. Ashley believes that the scene was heavily edited and that Paul is a longtime divorce attorney who naturally asks a lot of questions. She also understands where her dad is coming from, as he found Alex a right fit for his daughter before Ashley realized it herself. The couple's engagement ended just four months later, but they have since reconciled and are still very much in love. Devonta and Bri are engaged to an old friend and expecting a baby.
