CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA: During the reunion, 'Love is Blind' star Jimmy revealed that he felt the right decision for him would have been to let go of Chelsea, adding that he realized that they were not compatible. However, they also shared with E! that despite not being romantically involved anymore, they had developed a strong friendship. They emphasized that they were now more than just lovers; they were good friends who had each other's backs at all times.

In fact, he explained that their shared experience is one of the reasons they're still on good terms, even after he called off their wedding in the season six finale. "I want to be there for her and I want to support her and assist her whenever she needs it."

The couple also shared that they tried to date even after the show ended, but they weren't able to make it work. Eventually, they decided to call it off again. "We tried to date for days after, and we really tried. We tried our hardest, and it just didn't work out," Chelsea told EW. 

Why did Jimmy say NO to Chelsea on 'Love is Blind'? 

In the final episode, Jimmy opened up to Chelsea about his feelings, expressing his love for her but hesitating to commit to marriage. He admitted, "I love you deeply, and I want to be in a relationship with you. I want us to work, but I'm not ready to take that step to the altar." Jimmy's uncertainty stemmed from their intense argument, which left him feeling unprepared for such a significant commitment.

Chelsea, feeling frustrated and hurt, accused Jimmy of wasting her time. She believed that he had known all along that he would say no to marriage and accused him of disrespecting her by bringing up his past relationship scandal. She felt betrayed by his actions and words.

Jimmy defended himself by highlighting the deterioration of their relationship, particularly after Chelsea mentioned his past scandal. He felt that Chelsea had disrespected both him and his friend by bringing up the sensitive topic.

Chelsea and Jimmy spotted together after split on 'Love is Blind' 

Jimmy and Chelsea were spotted at a club, partying together, even after their split on the show. Surprisingly, they were not seen with any other members of the Netflix cast but were instead surrounded by a few of their friends. This has led fans to speculate that Jimmy and Chelsea might be reigniting their romance outside of the Netflix show, despite their breakup being showcased on the series.

However, it's likely that Jimmy and Chelsea are dating again. It seems that they are possibly trying to maintain a friendly rapport after what happened on the show. "Her and I are great friends to this day and I'm very thankful she's still in my life," Jimmy said. "We both got each other's back more than anybody. No one knows what we went through more than we do," Jimmy said at the reunion.
