As much as Jax and Stew insist they’re nothing more than friends after connecting in the Pods on Love Is Blind season 11, fans just aren’t buying it. Now, they’re back with another update on their relationship status—and it’s not what you’d expect. The pair separately appeared on the most recent episode of season 6 alum Amber “AD” Desiree’s What’s the Reality podcast, where they discussed their off-camera dynamic.
Stew kept things chill when pressed for more details about their connection, but still opened up about how he really felt when Jax abruptly left the show after their big reveal. When asked whether he was “blindsided” by Jax’s rejection on the show, he admitted, “I know Love Is Blind wouldn’t do this, but I genuinely thought it was a joke. Ultimately, I was completely shocked.” Jax, on the other hand, was in the mood to spill some tea.
She gave AD more intel on her real-world relationship with Stew and admitted they actually watched their season of Love Is Blind…together. Like, it was terrible,” she said. I woke up at 3 a.m. to watch it.
It was even worse having him watch it with me, but at least we were laughing a lot through the whole thing at each other, at ourselves,” she continued. Why did we act like this?’ We’re coming off so douchey, like, all of this stuff.” When asked what her relationship is with Stew nearly a year and a half after filming, she said, “I don’t entirely know, to be honest. It is very confusing, and it’s gonna be exciting to see the reunion, I think.
I think we’re going to talk about it more there.” What’s more: Jax and Stew actually live in the same neighborhood, so she said they constantly “hang out.” “We live a block away from each other. So I, like, see him in the neighborhood, and doing errands, and we bump into each other all the time,” she shared, before making matters more confusing. I’m already seated, to say the least!
