JP Pierce of Love Is Blind Flaunts New Relationship on Instagram Post Breakup with Taylor Rue

JP and Taylor ended their engagement during season 5 of ‘Love Is Blind’. The break-up happened when they went on a trip to Mexico, and JP revealed that he wasn’t comfortable with Taylor’s physical appearance. Now, after a year and a half, JP has revealed his new girlfriend to the public.

On Thursday, Love Is Blind star JP took to Instagram to share a series of photos chronicling his relationship with girlfriend Ellen. The 32-year-old reality star described Ellen as the sweetest, most loving, caring, awesome, sexy, and fun person he has met over a year ago. JP’s post featured pictures of the couple attending sports games, music festivals, going on date nights, and their vacation in Cancun, Mexico. This relationship debut comes after his awkward split from former fiancée Taylor, whom he met and got engaged to on season 5 of Love Is Blind. Despite hitting it off in the pods, JP and Taylor struggled to form a genuine connection after their awkward reveal and ultimately ended things days into their Mexico trip due to conversation flow issues between them.

The Love Is Blind Season 5 finale showcased the couples who got married and those who didn’t. Among them were Jared “JP” Pierce and Taylor Rue. During the show, JP finally confessed to feeling uncomfortable about Taylor’s physical appearance when they first met in person, which led to a major disconnect between them. He revealed that he thought she looked fake with her caked-up face and fake eyelashes, making it seem like she was presenting fake stuff. He even questioned if this was going to be an everyday thing and if he would have to deal with her putting on a face all the time. This caused Taylor to take some space from JP and eventually end their engagement the next morning as she did not appreciate his words. JP emphasized his desire for her to embrace her natural beauty, stating that he wanted her without makeup.

he conversation ended with both JP and Taylor expressing their desire to move forward and leave their past issues behind. During the reunion of the hit show, Love Is Blind, JP and Taylor addressed their communication problems that arose during their time in Mexico. JP admitted that his nervousness caused his erratic behavior, while Taylor denied not putting in enough effort to further their relationship. Taylor stated that she felt that she was always the one initiating conversations and trying to pull information out of JP, but he wouldn’t reciprocate. She also mentioned that she felt belittled by him and received no validation from him regarding their future. JP later confessed that Taylor was not the type of woman he would approach at a bar, which upset her further. However, he apologized for his words and expressed that he found her beautiful without makeup. Both parties concluded that they wanted to move on from their issues and focus on the future.
