While reality fans are gearing up for Season 5 of Netflix’s Love Is Blind, one of the couples from Season 4 has just split… two weeks after the After the Altar special.
Jackie Bonds, a 27-year-old dental assistant, revealed during an Instagram live session (captured by TikTok user RealityAshley) that she had split with Demas, a 31-year-old project manager.
Bonds revealed that Demas’ last straw was when she went against his wishes and spoke with his ex-fiance Monica Rodriguez during the three-part After the Altar special, which aired September 1 on Netflix.
‘Instead of ignoring it, like I was told by him, I ended up having a conversation with her, and that’s the reason why we broke up,’ Jackie said.
‘I’m still sick about it, low-key, I love that man. I was like, “Damn, I had all these life plans with you, you know? And then you just don’t even care,’ and I’m like, that’s crazy, over a conversation with somebody? It don’t matter,’ Jackie added.

‘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.’

‘As I cry & try to fight the world, he tried his hardest to defend me while hiding his pain,” Jackie explained.
‘In my times fighting I forgot about how it would affect him. I broke his heart and it harbors in my soul still,’ she added.
