What went down on the show?
Marshall makes his intentions with Jackelina known early on in the pods, and she admires his ability to bring forth emotions and vulnerabilities in her that she’s not used to expressing. However, she also has a connection with Josh—and when she tells Marshall this, he storms out and leaves her in tears. But eventually, Marshall wins out and Jackelina accepts his proposal.
They seem to be in an okay spot by the end of the fifth episode, but that honeymoon period doesn’t last long. After one argument Jackelina accuses Marshall of leaving instead of staying to talk things out. He replies, “What else am I supposed to do? Sit in my feelings and sleep next to someone who said I was not man enough for this?” To which she exclaims, “We don’t have sex!”
That’s not the only drama: Josh also showed up to a cast gathering to tell Jackelina, “Pick me.” At first it seems unclear what she’ll do, but it’s telling when Jackie doesn’t show up to try on wedding dresses with the other women. Instead, she meets up with Josh and agrees to start dating him. They kiss.
Meanwhile, Marshall gets word that Jackie skipped the wedding-dress try-on. When he confronts her about it later, she reveals that she’s still interested in Josh. Marshall asks for the ring back, and Jackie refuses. Messy!
Did they get married?
Yeah, that’s a no. Jackelina and Marshall’s conversation after the wedding-dress day is final, and they don’t even make it to the altar. (Marshall does show up for Brett and Tiffany’s wedding like the supportive friend he is.)
But are they still together?
Unlikely. They don’t follow each other on Instagram, thought that could mean anything in the Love Is Blind world. We’ll find out more about their status—friends, enemies, neutral—when the reunion special airs on Sunday, April 16 at 8 p.m. ET.
One big clue that they’re not in contact: In an interview with E!, Marshall revealed that he reached out to Kacia after the show. They tried dating but ultimately it didn’t work out. “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.”
