Love Is Blind's Jackie Bonds reveals she and Josh called it quits following the After The Altar episodes, which depicted some possible trouble in paradise. @therealityashley captured a recording of Jackie's announcement where she said she had a conversation with Josh's ex-fiancé, Monica Rodriguez, revealing that's what led to their breakup. "I'm still sick about it," she said, itting she "tried to fix it," and expressing hurt that Josh ended things over something so trivial.

Jackie implied that Josh is the one who ended things and that she was still planning to spend the rest of her life with him. The Love Is Blind alum added that she was initially "begging" for him to say, which she now regrets, and "tried everything [she] could."

Love Is Blind's Josh Demas Responds To Jackie's Breakup Announcement

Shortly after Jackie dropped the bomb that she and Josh were over, Josh took to his Instagram Story to release a statement of his own. The MMA elite told a different story with little detail, claiming that he and Jackie "both agreed" to the split. Josh then reflected on the difficulties they faced as a couple in the spotlight. "I want to thank everybody for ing us," he said, calling his Love Is Blind experience "a blessing." He finished his statement by sharing his gratitude for Jackie: "I'm glad I got to meet an incredible person such as Jackie."

The perception of Josh after Love Is Blind season 4 is that he can be controlling and easily angered. Jackie and Josh's rekindling after her split from Marshall immediately reeked of chaos. Jackie wasn't the nicest, most understanding partner to Marshall, and Josh condescendingly confronted him the first chance he could. But there was such similarity shown in these moments between Josh and Jackie that maybe it could actually work, should they not explode with toxicity as presumed. They did cause quite a storm on social media for the weeks following their physical absence from the Love Is Blind season 4 reunion.

Jackie and Josh have confirmed their split, with the latter being the one to call it off. Despite Jackie and Josh's explosive personalities and controversial way of getting together, there was a bit of hope that they could last. In Jackie's announcement, she expressed hurt and frustration over what she claimed to be Josh's grounds for a breakup. If the reason was that Jackie continued her conversation with Monica, that would be something to feel angry over. These two drama starters have called it quits, and believe it or not, Love Is Blind season 5 is reportedly even messier.

Love Is Blind season 5 premieres September 22 on Netflix.
