If you watched the first five episodes of Love Is Blind season 11, then you know that the biggest drama revolved around Jax, who ghosted her fiancé Stew right after he popped the question. She later told Tudum that her decision to leave the show “had nothing to do with him or his looks” and was instead of result of her feeling overwhelmed...but if you’re wondering where the two stand now, things seem promising.
The Boston season of LIB was filmed back in spring 2025, so it’s been a year and a half since Jax ditched Stew before the trip to Mexico. But! According to Stew, Jax found him on Instagram and sent him a DM as soon as they left the pods. “You leave the program, you go back to the hotel,” he told E! News soon after the first episodes dropped. “By the time I had checked into the hotel, I had a message from her.”
Of her message, Stew said, “It was super sincere. She explained that it wasn’t about me. It was about just the emotional overload of the previous couple weeks, and I think once we got settled back in Boston, once kind of normal life was allowed to resume, we were able to kind of catch our breaths.”
Even more recently, Stew gave some insight into what happened after he and Jax met up post-pods in episode 6, telling Today, “Since then we’ve been great friends, and the relationship has continued.”
Now the question begs: Have the two simply become friends...or are they more than friends?
For instance: In October 2025, Stew posted a pic of himself on a boat in Costa Rica, and Jax slid into his comments to write, “Not bad.” Kinda flirty, no?
Here’s hoping we get more clarity about where these two stand now at the reunion.
Side note: Whoever is running the social media accounts at SharkNinja (where Stew works as the director of engineering) deserves a raise.
