Jackie and Josh
While Jackie sparked a connection with Josh in the pods, she ultimately went with her heart and decided to instead get engaged to Marshall. However, after Jackie and Marshall got into a heated argument over their sex life, Jackie and Josh got close again at their costar Chelsea’s birthday party.

After the season 4 reunion aired in April 2023, Jackie confirmed that she and Josh were in a relationship and were currently living together.
“This is exactly how it was supposed to happen,” Jackie told Us Weekly 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.”
However. when the pair returned for the After the Altar special in September 2023, the couple facing rough waters after Jackie and Josh had a tense conversation with Monica — Josh’s fiancée from the series. During the interaction, Josh called Monica a “clout chaser” before Jackie walked off from the exchange.
Jackie later confirmed her split from Josh in September 2023, claiming it was because she had a private conversation with Monica.
“Instead of ignoring it, like I was told by him, I ended up having a conversation with her and that is the reason we broke up,” Jackie said in a video clip, shared by a fan account on TikTok. “I’m still sick about it lowkey. I love that man. I was like damn, I had all these life plans with you, you know? And you just don’t even care. And I’m like, ‘That’s crazy.’ Over a conversation … it doesn’t matter. I tried to mend it.”
