Now, their relationship status is pretty confusing. So, here&#8217;s where Jax and Stew from <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/tag\/love-is-blind\">Love Is Blind<\/a> left things after meeting up, and everything they&#8217;ve said about each other since.<\/p>\n<p>Jax ghosted Stew in the pods after they met face-to-face for the first time. She chose not to share her contact information with him, leaving him with no way to reach out to her after her abrupt departure.<\/p>\n<p>Jax then managed to get in contact with Stew, and they were finally able to sit down and clear the air.&nbsp;&#8220;It would be the craziest thing ever if it worked,&#8221; Stew opens up. &#8220;That would be incredible. That would be really special.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I still have hope for it. Like, I haven&#8217;t written it off yet,&#8221; Stew reveals. &#8220;And I don&#8217;t want to, necessarily.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As for how they leave things? Jax tells Stew, &#8220;I feel like we&#8217;ll just figure it out.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He then questions her commitment to that, bringing up that she was slow to meet with him. &#8220;I gave you every day. I was like, &#8216;Thursday I can, Sunday I can, yesterday I can,&#8217; And I felt like there was no attempt on your end to actually, like, try and make that happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In that lack of response, it&#8217;s kind of like, &#8216;Maybe this isn&#8217;t real,'&#8221; Stew admits.&nbsp;Jax then reveals that she expected to be &#8220;blown away&#8221; by a connection and wanted it &#8220;to be more like how we were in the pods.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe we&#8217;re just friends,&#8221; Jax questions. &#8220;If I love somebody, I&#8217;m all in.&#8221; Yikes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, it sounds like they&#8217;re better off as friends and the romantic connection between them is dead. Jax clearly wasn&#8217;t &#8220;all in&#8221; with Stew, and he has reservations about her actually wanting to be in a relationship with him.<\/p>\n<p>This was the last time viewers saw them on season 11 of Love Is Blind, so they&#8217;ve officially called it quits.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Deo0O0BtA4r\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/Deo0O0BtA4r\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Scott \u201cStew\u201d | Love is Blind (@scooterstew)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When we did actually meet, it was incredibly intense and overwhelming for me,\u201d Jax told <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/love-is-blind-jax-explains-called-off-engagement-stew-absolutely-blindsided-exclusive-12183354\">People<\/a>. \u201cAnd I think when I sat down, I kind of realised, you know, there\u2019s no chemistry or connection here.
