Love Is Blind‘s season 4 reunion had a lot of bombshells — from Vanessa Lachey’s “personal bias” to Zack Goytowski roasting “mean girl,” Irina Solomonova.
But what really got the viewers was Marshall Glaze’s hilarious reaction to the pre-recorded Zoom interview of his ex-fiancée, Jackelina “Jackie” Bonds alongside fellow contestant, Josh Demas who’s now her boyfriend of one year.
Jackie notably skipped her wedding gown fittings to rekindle her connection with Josh at a coffee shop. Marshall learned about it from co-star, Brett Brown who was notified by his now-wife Tiffany Pennywell via text message.
During their breakup talk, Marshall asked for the ring back, but Jackie refused. Later in the reunion, he said “it was a symbol of my love.”
She then accused him of wanting the ring back just to propose to another contestant. She also claimed that he had called her a “derogatory” word during their relationship.
What Did Marshall Say To Jackie On Love Is Blind?
Jackie alleged Marshall of calling her a transphobic slur off-camera, back when they were still together. In a series of Instagram Stories on April 17, 2023, she shared screenshots of her texting Tiffany: “Marshall told me I looked like a [transphobic slur] that he viewed me as a project that he could mold into something.”
“I would have never thought he would say those to me,” she added. “Told me I wear too much sweats & that I need to give him more. Tiff I’m so emotionally drained.” The latter replied: “Wait, what?!!! That is totally disrespectful and you don’t deserve someone who speaks to you that way!”
During the reunion, Marshall admitted to saying something “offensive” about Jackie’s jawline to get back at her for “calling me out for my sexual preferences.” However, he denied using a transphobic slur. “I felt like it was my turn to make a jab. I said, ‘You know, you got a strong jawline. You coulda been a man for all I know,'” he explained.
“She took very clear offense to it. We were just learning each other,” he continued. “We don’t really know what each other’s triggers are. I thought it was a safe space because she’s coming at me, calling me out for my sexual preferences… I did not say a specific term. I did not use a derogatory word, no.”

What Does Marshall Feel About Jackie Dating Josh?
During the reunion, Marshall said that he felt “slighted” about Jackie dating Josh. Contrary to what was implied on the show, the two guys actually had a “deep connection” back in the pods. Marshall would even “bare my soul” to Josh every night when the former was still getting to know Jackie. However, the latter never spoke to him about his feelings for Jackie.
When asked about his relationship with Josh these days, Marshall told Variety ahead of the reunion: “Yes, Josh and I have been in communication. But it has ceased after things started coming out, and public perception.”
He added that “it’s hard to deal with negative sentiment, and that could change things, and that’s totally fine,” noting that they “don’t have to be friends. But we also don’t have to be enemies. That’s where I’m at.”
Who Did Marshall Date After Love Is Blind?
During the reunion, Marshall admitted that a former pod flame, Kacia Clark, had reached out to him after his split from Jackie. “Kacia sent me a very beautiful voice message the day that me and Jackie broke up,” he said, adding that he didn’t propose to her.
“I did not want to propose to anybody else,” he said of Jackie’s claims. “That wasn’t the case, and that’s really wild she would think that, because she was the only person I was worrying about in the pods.”
Later on, he told E! News that he “tried” to make it work with Kacia but things turned out to be like his previous relationship. “I wanted to just distance myself from all of that, from that experience,” he said. “It was going to be difficult to try to make a relationship with Kacia.” He also said that he was “apologetic about starting something” after his “rough” split from Jackie.
When asked about his current status, he told Variety, “I am dating. I’m dating.” He also spoke to E! News about what he’s learned from the experiment, saying: “I know what I want and I know what I don’t want. And I know what I need, too. I need someone who is very self-aware, someone who has emotional maturity and availability.”
However, he didn’t mean to imply that Jackie was immature. “She very much put that she can’t give me what I need as far as the emotional availability or rise to my emotional maturity,” he clarified. “Not that she doesn’t have that within her, but it just kind of paled in comparison. And that’s okay. Not everybody has the same level of emotional maturity as we’re talking about.”
