Why did Lindy and Miguel break up?

Lindy took to Instagram to make her declaration public.
"It is with great heartbreak Miguel and I are announcing our divorce," she stated. "Sadly, it’s impossible to stay married if both people are not equally committed to the success of the marriage. Marrying a stranger on national TV has been a very painful, overwhelming & confusing process."
She further stated that neither she nor Miguel regretted marrying at first sight. Despite the fact that it did not work out for them, she says they are both grateful for the chance and experience. Lindy also stated that they had a real relationship.
Lindy closes her address to fans by noting, "It is our hope that viewers understand you see very little of our lives during the short duration of filming. While it is easy to cast judgment and make assumptions, please remember we are just regular people who decided to take a leap of faith. Thank you for going on this insane journey with us, and for respecting our privacy while we continue to heal and grow as individuals."
