During Love Is Blind Season 5, we met JP (short for Jared Pierce) and Taylor Rue. JP, who is six years older than Taylor, works as a firefighter and can be identified by his cowboy boots, and American flag-patterned wardrobe.

Taylor, a kindergarten teacher, connected with JP (who she calls Sugar Butt) right away after learning that he attended the school where she currently teaches at.

During Season 5, Episode 2, JP pops the big question and Taylor says yes. In the beginning of Episode 3, they finally get to see each other for the first time.

JP seems absolutely smitten over Taylor. "Seeing her smile and seeing her look at me, [I'm] the luckiest man in the world," he said in an aside.

However, Taylor didn't exactly reciprocate those kind words.

"There was some silence with JP in the pods, so I kind of, I guess, was expecting it out there, you know. But [it] was a little bit awkward," she said of her first in-person meeting with her future husband.

She also pointed out noticed that he had a gap in teeth: "In the real world, I probably wouldn't have gone after him," she explained, nodding to his teeth. However, she realized that wasn't a good reason to discount someone as a romantic partner.

"Like that's so stupid not to be with someone because of their teeth, you know. Looks don't matter to me anymore," Taylor said of her fiancé.

Following their engagement, Taylor and JP went to Mexico with the other engaged couples from Season 5. Now, they finally had a chance to spend some quality time together.

But a few days into the trip, Taylor broke up with JP and gave him back the ring.
