Season 11 of Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind’ brings several singles from Boston, Massachusetts, into the pods, helping them find life partners without seeing each other first. Jacqueline Guelli, AKA Jax, and Scott “Stew” Stewart were also two of the singles who connected in the pods on their first date. She made it clear that she wanted a man who could match her energy and bring positivity into her life. As someone deeply invested in her business, she also wanted a partner to support her professional ambitions. On the other hand, although Stew valued his freedom to spend time on his own terms, he felt ready to meet the love of his life, who would always be by his side on his life’s adventures.
Jax Guelli Decided to Leave the Show After Her First Meeting With Scott “Stew” Stewart
During the first few dates, Jacqueline “Jax” Guelli and Scott Stewart, AKA Stew, found themselves enjoying each other’s company and discovered their similar taste in fashion and home aesthetics. Over time, they discussed their dream wedding, and he impressed Jax by correctly guessing her dream engagement ring. As they further opened up to each other, they discovered that they both loved ‘Phantom of the Opera.’ However, she and Stew soon faced a hurdle when he revealed that he had never told anyone he loved them and had never been in love. The confession left Jax concerned that he might struggle with commitment. Stew eventually reassured her that he was finally ready to take the step toward a committed relationship with her.
When Stew took the next step forward by proposing to her in the pod, she gladly accepted. During their first face-to-face meeting, Stew was blown away by Jax’s beauty and expressed his admiration by getting down on one knee to propose. Things took a turn when she stated during her confessional that the proposal didn’t feel romantic to her. She eventually chose to leave the show, initially deciding not to meet Stew to explain her feelings. Although he was shocked upon hearing the turn of events, he emphasized that he did not regret the experience in any way, shape, or form. Later on, the duo met at a restaurant in Boston, where she apologized for not talking to him before leaving but added that she didn’t think they were the right fit.
Jax and Stew Appear to be on Amicable Terms After Parting Ways on the Show
Jax and Stew’s meeting at the restaurant helped them better understand each other’s perspectives. While he said he still had hope for them, she said her family wanted to meet him because he was part of her story. Ultimately, both of them went their separate ways with a mutual understanding and clear air. They once again met at a gathering of the cast members, where their carefree conversations highlighted that they had remained on good terms. During a later interview, Jax explained that the proposal didn’t unfold as she had imagined.
Jax added that she hoped Stew would put effort into his speech, but it lacked a personal connection. While speaking about the experience, Stew admitted it was “awkward.” He further stated, “I’m not faulting her (Jax). I’m not faulting myself. I think the scenario is so impossible to prepare for, and you have such a short window of time.” Looking back, Jax clarified that she regretted her decision to walk away from him without communicating her feelings to him one last time. She further said that the moment’s intensity overwhelmed her.
After the show, Jax and Stew have remained connected on Instagram. In October 2026, Stew also appeared on ‘The Viall Files’ podcast, where he spoke about how his and Jax’s conversations were much deeper in the pods than was revealed in episodes 5 and 6. During one of Jax’s interviews with ‘What’s the Reality?,’ she had mentioned that she and Stew had watched some of the show’s episodes together. Although they parted ways on the show, their choice to continue following each other on social media and speak fondly of one another suggests they remain on amicable terms.
