Zack spoke to ET about his marriage after wrapping filming of 'Love Is Blind.'
SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't watched the finale of Love Is Blind season 4, proceed with caution.
Love was not exactly blind when it came to season 4 contestant Zack Goytowski. The quirky 31-year-old criminal defense attorney fell for two women in the pods -- one who baked him cupcakes for his birthday (33-year-old senior program manager Bliss Poureetezadi), and one who was kind of the pod mean girl and created drama with several of the other girls (26-year-old business owner Irina Solomonova).
Claiming he knew Irina's true nature, Zack cut Bliss loose in the pods and proposed to Irina in a very cringey musical moment.
But it was clear from the moment the pair laid eyes on one another that things weren't exactly... blissful. The pair split up in Mexico and went their separate ways, with Zack seeking out Bliss once he returned to Seattle.
Zack spoke with ET's Will Marfuggi prior to his season airing about the direction his story went.
"I never thought that Bliss and I were going to get back together, honestly. When I ended it [with Irina] in Mexico, I thought it was over. I was just ready to move on with everything associated with the show," he told ET.
Zack said that his meetup with Bliss in Seattle was a "combination" of the show's encouragement and his own interest in meeting her.
"But I really didn't expect what happened with Bliss and I to happen until we met in person," he added.
Zack and Bliss ended up getting engaged on the show and moving forward with their plans for a wedding with mixed reactions from their family. Bliss' dad, specifically, was vocal in his disapproval of the couple's decision to tie the knot in such a short amount of time.
But Zack told ET that his relationship with his father-in-law has since evolved.
"He has called me his son. It felt really good, honestly," Zack shared, adding that Bliss' dad gave him a comforting sign of approval at their wedding.
"He gave me this look of approval. Like a nod. He may not necessarily have agreed with our decision, but he respected me, so that definitely meant a lot," Zack shared of the big day.
As for how Zack's marriage to Bliss is today, he shared, "It's really good. It's great, honestly."
Zack also adds of his in-laws, "I love Bliss' family. They're amazing."
Love Is Blind season 4 is streaming on Netflix, and the season's live reunion special will stream on Netflix on Sunday, April 16 at 8 p.m. ET.
