The couple has had their highs and lows in season 5.
Spoiler alert! If you haven't seen season 5 of Love Is Blind and the reunion, proceed with caution.
Though they said no at the altar on Love Is Blind, Izzy Zapata and Stacy Snyder shared a kiss and talked about continuing their relationship after the cameras stopped rolling.
Izzy said a quick "I do," Stacy seemed torn, and ultimately turned her fiancé down at the altar.
"I love you more than I can even explain. I want to make you happy and I want to give you that reassurance, and I want to say yes," Stacy said in the season 5 finale. "But I would be doing you and I a disservice right now to say that 'I do' when I feel like there's a lot of things that we need. And more than anything we need time. We haven't had time. That's something that I need."
Though Izzy seemed to take the rejection well at the time, he later appeared upset by his bride's decision.
"I'm hurt and sad more than anything. I really don't know. I gave it all I had to give," he said, later adding, "It's tough, we're going steps backwards now… When is it ever going to be the right time?"
So were these two able to work things out? On Sunday, Netflix dropped the reunion special of season 5, where the now-exes discussed their life after the altar.
The previously engaged couple said during the reunion that they spent the week after their wedding apart, giving each other time to sort things out before going on a disastrous date. Izzy said he could sense that something was off with Stacy and that when he asked her if she was still "feeling this," she said no.
"I was so mad at her after that because I thought we were really going to try," Izzy shared. "I was so upset I just walked out and I just didn't talk to her for a year."
As for Stacy, she said that she felt like they were in different places.
"I felt like we needed to start over and I feel like you were like, 'If we're starting over, going backwards, I don't want to do it,'" Stacy said to her ex, who seemingly agreed.
The two spent a year not communicating before they had a chance run-in at a bar in Houston, Texas. After that, they reconnected, with Izzy revealing that they did kiss.
"We did share a kiss, but we both knew it was best not to hurt each other again or confuse each other again," Izzy shared. "We appreciated more just having each other back in each other's lives and are friends. We're bros."
Directly after the reunion taped, Stacy spoke with ET, further explaining her reservations at the altar and even afterward.
"It didn't feel right to just take a leap," Stacy explained. "There were big issues."
As for what some of those issues were, Stacy insisted that it was "not just bad credit."
"It was him not being able to really describe his job. [It] was a brand-new job. He couldn't disclose to me how he made money, how much he made," Stacy said. "The whole thing just seemed very question mark. And it was concerning that he was looking at me like it wasn't a big deal. That's a huge deal. So I felt very alone, and I didn't feel like there was any way to make up that ground in a matter of 24 hours."
As for their current relationship status, Stacy replied "no comment" when asked by co-hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey whether she was seeing someone. Izzy, however, said that, yes, he is in a relationship.
Love Is Blind season 5 is currently streaming on Netflix.
