Love Is Blind's Jackie Bonds and Josh Demas’ Relationship Timeline: From a Love Triangle to Moving In Together

Love Is Blind’s Jackelina “Jackie” Bonds and Josh Demas'  love story was anything but smooth sailing. Jackie and Josh met in the pods during season 4 of the Netflix reality series in 2023. While they had a strong bond, the dental assistant also formed a connection with Marshall Glaze. While she was torn between the two men, Jackie ultimately accepted Marshall’s proposal following the pod phase of the dating experiment. However, Jackie called off their engagement to Marshall and ended up rekindling her romance with Josh after he shared he still had feelings for her. After the dating show’s reunion special aired in April 2023, Jackie revealed to Us Weekly that she and Josh were going strong and living together. “This is exactly how it was supposed to happen,” Jackie said at the time. “I think if me and Josh would have [chosen] each other in the pods, I think, maybe, our story would’ve been a little bit different than how it is now. But to be honest, like, this was already in the motion [and] in the plan because of the Lord above.” The pair’s romance ultimately didn’t last. Jackie revealed in September 2023 that she and Josh had called it quits after dating for more than a year. Keep scrolling to see Jackie and Josh’s relationship timeline:

May 2023

Jackie took to social media to gush over her “rock” Josh — and explained how she knows he’s The One.

"I always dreamed for a love like this. He really is my twin. We both make each other laugh. He understands me, he is such a man of patience,” she wrote during an Instagram Story Q&A when asked what “keeps her going” when it comes to her beau. "He is my person I love him I'd marry him a thousand times over & have 49 kids with. The love I feel for him is unimaginable. Part of my chromosome, part of my DNA."

September 2023

During a livestream that was shared via TikTok, Jackie shared that she and Josh were no longer together due to a conversation she had with his ex-girlfriend Monica Rodriguez. 

“I’m still sick about it. I love that man,” she said. “I was like, ‘Damn, I had all these life plans with you and then you just don’t even care.’ And I’m like, ‘That’s crazy.’” 

Before they ultimately broke up, Jackie admitted she “tried to fix” the relationship on her end but ultimately decided she didn’t need to “beg” anyone to be with her.
