Although Julita Gocel admittedly has a lot of trauma from getting married, having a son, and losing her husband to suicide within a period of 6 months at the age of 19, she never gave up on love. Instead, she transformed her pain into passion so as to ensure she could give her baby boy the best possible life imaginable – her devotion to her son was her motivation every step of the way. Therefore, it was only when he was close to turning 18 that she decided to find her forever partner, leading her to Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind: Poland’ and Jacek (aka Barber Good Gypsy).
Julita and Jacek Worked Hard On Their Relationship After Coming Together From a Complex Love Rectangle
While many singles hesitate to dive deep into their past early on in the pods, 37-year-old single mother Julita was the complete opposite since she did not want to waste anyone’s time. She initially did not go into details, but she did let almost every one of her dates know that she has a nearly adult son who has been her priority for as long as she can remember and will remain so. It was only after she built a basic foundation with a select few that she opened up about her husband’s death as well as her one other relationship, which was allegedly extremely toxic.
Among these select few were Damian, Filip, and Jacek, but the former’s response to her trauma and her way of dealing with it left a bitter taste in her mouth. She thus grew her connection with the latter two, unaware that her closest friend on the women’s side, Daria Rybak, had formed a bond with the same two men. What’s more is that Filip and Jacek were also great friends, so a complex love rectangle emerged wherein all individuals tried their best to navigate their emotions. In the end, surprisingly, two relationships materialized without a single compromise or heartbreak – while Daria and Filip coupled up, Jacek got down on one knee for Julita, and she happily said yes! Their reveal was arguably the most romantic this season, with both of them being over the moon about starting a new chapter while being on the same page.
Julita and Jacek took their time to know each other’s hearts, he understood she has her son to keep in mind, and she learned he is so much more than his past, as well as his ADHD. The fact that they shared an affinity for dark, dry humor was only a plus for them, that is, until the latter took it a little too far towards the end of their Greece getaway. She knew he didn’t mean anything by it, and it wasn’t deliberately malicious, especially with how sincerely he kept apologizing, but it did disrupt the flow of their connection a little. Unfortunately, this crack continued to widen upon their return to the real world due to communication issues and their inability to make time for or truly understand each other. Their romantic feelings were definitely mutual, but they also kept growing distant despite their best efforts to make things work.
Julita and Jacek Parted Ways After Not Being Able to Meet in the Middle
Although Julita and Jacek were arguably one of the most real couples in this original production, with the candid, clear way they navigated all their ups and downs, it wasn’t enough. That’s because their serious discussions often turned into arguments and they just couldn’t fulfill their partner’s expectations, despite wanting to, owing to the commitment they had already willingly made. Therefore, on their wedding day, they both admitted that although they were thankful for the entire process, as it taught them real kindness as well as patience, they couldn’t promise each other forever. Julita wanted to say “I do” until the very end and continue making efforts, but she knew in her heart that Jacek was not on the same page, so she said “no.” He then revealed that his answer would indeed have been no. From what we can tell, Julita and Jacek are no longer in touch either, as the experience really took more from them emotionally than they had expected. They still care for one another and wish each other the best, but they prefer to do so from afar. We should also mention they both have since moved on.

While not many details regarding Julita’s background or qualifications are publicly available as of writing, we do know she is a proud educator, a neurologist, and a philanthropist. The 37-year-old is primarily a High School Teacher, but whenever she is not at school or spending quality time with her son, she can be found embracing her passion for helping others. After all, as a trained neurologist, she likes dedicating a large portion of her free time to helping young kids with speech difficulties overcome their barriers. In other words, she is the personification of both beauty and brains as well as a strong, independent woman. We should also mention that she is now happily engaged to a man named Konrad, whom she met shortly after she finished filming the show. They had a whirlwind romance before he got down on one knee, and she happily said yes because he treated her exactly the way she had always dreamed of, as well as shared a great bond with her son.
Coming to Jacek, aka Good Gypsy, he is a proud barber currently associated with Na Poziomie, a shop serving both men and women in Powiśle. He specializes in everything hair for men, all the while also being a hobbyist athlete with an interest in sports such as soccer and volleyball. However, despite being a non-traditional artistic soul with a “bad boy” image, his primary dream remains one day having a marriage, a family, and a home with a garden, a porch, and unconditional love. On a personal level, he has since also moved on in life, revealing during the reunion that he is currently in a happy, healthy relationship with someone new. It’s still relatively fresh, he said, but he is genuinely happy, which is all that matters in the long run.
