WASHINGTON: While reality fans await Season 5 of Netflix's 'Love Is Blind', one of the Season 4 couples has recently split. The news comes just two weeks following 'After the Altar' special. Jackie Bonds, a 27-year-old dental assistant, announced her breakup with Josh Demas, a 31-year-old project manager, during an Instagram live session (captured by TikTok user RealityAshley).
During the three-part 'After the Altar' special, which aired on September 1 on Netflix, Jackie disclosed that Josh's final straw was when she defied his wishes and talked with his ex-fiancee, Monica Rodriguez.
"Instead of ignoring it, like I was told by him, I ended up having a conversation with her, and that's the reason why we broke up," Jackie revealed.
"I'm still sick about it, low-key, I love that man. I was like, 'Damn, I had all these life plans with you, you know? And then you just don’t even care,' and I’m like, that’s crazy, over a conversation with somebody? It don’t matter," Jackie continued.
"I tried to fix it, I tried to mend it. I did everything I could, and what’s crazy is that looking back at these messages, I look like a begging ass b----," Jackie added, referring to text exchanges in which she is said to have "begged" him to be with her.
"What's crazy is I ain't never begged nobody to be with me, I never been on no weird s**t to where I'm like, 'Oh my God, be with me,'" she said.
When she looked back at the texts, she said she felt "sick, like throwing up," and added, "Like, how am I begging? Like, that's crazy, but it is what it is."
