While Marshall was being fitted for a tuxedo, Josh and Jackie, Love Is Blind's latest second-choice couple, decided to give their failed romance a whirl in the real world. The problem? Jackie was still engaged to Marshall when she made this decision.
Given the way things were panning out between the two, we're not surprised Jackie was entertaining the thought of her other connection. We were just hoping she wouldn't act on it before calling it quits with her fiancé.
"Marshall is too sensitive for me, basically," Jackie confessed to Josh over coffee, amidst the men's tux fitting and women's dress fitting. "When I told him to be more aggressive and boss up, he left for like three days."
When Josh asked how Jackie would think Marshall would feel about their impromptu get-together, she quickly replied, "I don't care." After some back and forth, they ultimately decide to pursue their love and seal the deal with a kiss. We were floored. But where do Josh and Jackie stand now?
Where do Josh and Jackie, 'Love Is Blind's' newest couple, stand today?
We hate to break it to the Marshall Glaze fans, but it looks like Jackie Bonds and Josh Demas are still going strong after connecting on Love Is Blind one year ago. At the start of baseball season in 2023, the two were spotted at a Seattle Mariners game on Monday, April 3. One sneaky TikToker uploaded the now-viral footage, and though it's not terribly telling—the pair is just walking to and from their seats—it's likely that they're not attending the game platonically.
Plus, text messages allegedly from Jackie to her friends have been leaked, and they revealed that she decided to pursue Josh instead of Marshall. The messages were rather mean-spirited if they in fact are legitimate: they question Marshall's sexuality and belittle him for his sensitivity.
Although we can't say for sure, it seems like things between Jackie and Marshall are probably not copacetic.
"Marshall, I can't love you because I'm attracted to Josh," she revealed to Marshall after arriving home from her coffee date. Plus, when Marshall asked for her ring back, she refused. We're cringing just thinking about the whole interaction.

Twitter reacts to Jackie and Josh from 'Love Is Blind':
There's only one episode left before the reunion: the wedding episode! We know we won't be seeing Jackie and Marshall walk down the aisle, and let's just say the internet has some thoughts about her breakup with Marshall. A word to the wise, Jackie: if you haven't checked your social media accounts yet, you probably shouldn't.
"This Jackie, the deflecting, the gaslighting, the deceitful Jackie, I don't know who that is, and, apparently, that's the real Jackie." GAGGED yas Marshall, read her!! #LoveisBlind4 #LoveIsBlind pic.twitter.com/UEUMfem94oApril 7, 2023
Jackie has the same NASTY spirit that Irina does. The fact that she cheated on Marshall & wouldn't even give him back the ring is mind boggling. Sis, you're already back with Josh but you want to keep your ex fiance's ring?!??#LoveIsBlind #LoveIsBlindS4 pic.twitter.com/20KwnewvywApril 7, 2023

Although it's definitely a bummer that Jackie and Marshall weren't going to be able to make things work, here's hoping they both have closure and clarity moving forward. Looks like we'll be caught up during the first-ever live Love Is Blind season 4 reunion on Sunday, April 16.
Love Is Blind season 4 is currently streaming on Netflix. Here's the schedule for all of the upcoming Love Is Blind season 4 episodes. Be sure to check out other shows like Love Is Blind, too.
