‘Love Is Blind’ Star Makes Republican Comparison Before Ditching Fiancé

Jacqueline "Jax" Guelli, a contestant on Netflix's "Love Is Blind," ended her engagement to Scott "Stew" Stewart almost immediately after the two finally saw each other. The couple had gotten engaged sight unseen, as the format demands, but their in-person meeting ended with her leaving. In a confessional, Guelli said Stewart resembled Mitt Romney rather than the Kennedy look-alike she had pictured, a nickname she said other men on the cast had given him. TODAY first reported her whispered reluctance to be unkind when a producer pressed her, according to Daily Wire.

Guelli has since told People that doubts were already building beforehand, so the scene looks more clear-cut on screen than it felt. She described the encounter as intense and overwhelming, and said she sensed no chemistry or connection once seated. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, she said the remark wasn't meant as a compliment, though she considers Romney handsome, and she stands by what she said.

Stewart told the same outlet the moment caught him off guard, given how emotional the day was after proposing to someone he had never seen. He said he bears no grudge and thinks Guelli deserves some grace.
