Jackie Bonds and Josh Demas were not in sight for the Love Is Blind live reunion on Sunday night. But the pair agreed to a recorded interview with Vanessa Lachey.
Netflix‘s Love Is Blind just concluded season 4. Shockingly, only a pair ended their romance before walking to the altar. The show recorded an impressive number of connections in the pods. But as time went by, the different couple proved why they were not a heavenly match. Like most controversial connections, Jackie Bonds bonded with Josh Demas and Marshall Glaze. In the end, she chose Marshall over Josh.
Jackie and Marshall fell out almost as quickly as they bonded. Their red flags were hard to deny, and the turmoil rang in. Jackie was convinced she was not right for Marshall and vice versa. The end of their romance was an open door for Jackie, who rekindled her affection for Josh. On the reviewing end, Josh confessed his love, and they went on to define their romance.
Online, Jackie was met with criticisms of how she mistreated Marshall before and after their romance. But the 27-year-old said she would prove they were over before she reconnected with Josh. This was supposed to be at the “Love Is Blind” season 4 reunion. But both Jackie Bond and Josh Demas skipped it.

Jackie Bonds and Josh Demas Were Absent at ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 4 Delayed Reunion
Viewers did not immediately get to watch their favorite faces in the Love Is Blind reunion. The show was scheduled to air at 8 pm on Sunday. This would have been Netflix’s second live stream after Chris Rock’s stand-up show. But it did not happen as planned.
Unfortunately, the streaming giant experienced technical problems. This led to a delay of Netflix’s Love Is Blind reunion for over an hour. But co-host Vanessa Lachey kept fans updated. She assured them that all hands were on deck for a live show, and most cast mates were around. However, Lachey claimed:
“Jackie and Josh aren’t here but I sat down with them for an exclusive interview that we will show you later on in the show.”
Netflix took responsibility for the delay in the live stream. Their online post read:
“Promise #LoveIsBlindLIVE will be worth the wait.”
The network also apologized by sharing a sneak peek of the cast members present. Despite Jackie Bonds and Josh Demas’ absence, it was a full house. The attendees were Micah Lussier, Zack Goytowski, Paul Pedden, Kwame Appiah, and Chelsea Griffin. Bliss Poureetezadi, Irina Solomonova, and Tiffany Pennywell, Brett Brown also joined their co-stars.
