Jax Reveals Real Reason for Love Is Blind Breakup

Jacqueline "Jax" Guelli is finally setting the record straight about her abrupt breakup with Scott "Stew" Stewart on Love Is Blind season 11. While the Netflix show portrayed the split as a reaction to his appearance—Jax reportedly comparing him to Mitt Romney—the skincare mogul insists the truth was far more complex ^[1].

In an exclusive interview with E! News, Jax said the relationship began to unravel long before their in-person meeting. "There was a lot going on that you don't see," she said. "It was very black and white how it was showed."

She admitted the proposal in the pods didn’t feel right. "The proposal in the pods, I was like, 'That didn't feel right,'" Jax recalled. "Then I was like, 'But OK, I don't blame him. Proposing is probably not easy to do, especially here.'"

Jax, 31, emphasized that the emotional disconnect had been building for some time, and the moment they met in person only confirmed what she’d already sensed. "There started to be cracks" in the relationship before they ever saw each other, she said.

Despite the public perception that the breakup was about looks, Jax insists it was about deeper incompatibility and misalignment in emotional connection. She didn’t blame Stew for the outcome, noting that the pressure of the show and the nature of the format made genuine connection difficult.

Her comments come as fans continue to dissect the season’s dramatic finale, where Jax walked away just moments after meeting Stew face-to-face—leaving viewers stunned and online debates raging.

What happens next? The full interview with E! News offers a rare glimpse into the emotional reality behind the show’s editing. Fans are now rewatching the pods with new context, questioning how much of the story was shaped by narrative versus truth.
