Iyanna McNeely of Love Is Blind season 2 alleged this week that her ex-husband Jarrette Jones cheated on her. Shortly thereafter, however, Jones shared a story saying that he was suspicious that his “hand-holding” wife might have been unfaithful first.
Earlier this week Iyanna, 29, said that she discovered that Jarrette,33, was unfaithful because a woman confessed to being with him just days before they filmed Netflix’s After The Altar special. She also said that she had been “gung-ho” about lying and protecting him regarding the matter.
“Jarrette cheated. I found out three days before After the Altar,” Iyanna aid on her Feel in the Blank podcast sfter admititng that she still loves him but he’s “stupid.” “I received an email with very specific details.”
Iyanna immediately said she wanted to file for divorce, which she later did in October 2022, but she initially stayed with Jarrette because her mother urged her to do so.
“Immediately I was like, ‘I want a divorce. I want a divorce,’” she said.. “And my mom was like, ‘Iyanna, you’re making a decision on anger,’ and I realized she’s right. I couldn’t do that, it’s a marriage.”
Despite trying to make things work, Iyanna said they were both “unhappy” because it was a “terrible fit” and it was difficult to film After the Altar because of the alleged cheating reveal.
“It was so much for me to still film after that and pretend as if, not pretend as if everything was OK, but I just couldn’t talk about it,” said Iyanna on Feel in the Blank.
“I think we both were [pretending]. Jarrette was unhappy too. I was unhappy, Jarrette was unhappy. It was a terrible fit. He wasn’t ready, and I guess to an extent I wasn’t either. However, I would have been a good wife to someone who has a good partner to me,” she added.
Later on a TikTok live stream, she told fans that her ex-husband is “ridiculously unhealed” and felt as though he wasn’t that into her, a significant comment considering that Jarrette initially proposed to Mallory Zapata, another Love Is Blind star, first.
“It wasn’t just [the cheating], we were wildly incompatible. Different interests, he’s not growth mindset, and that frustrated the s*** out of me. He used to think I talked too much…that man didn’t like me, y’all.” said Iyanna. “I”m pretty sure he did not like me.”

According to Jones, the incident happened during th first month of their marriage and he was shocked by what he saw.
“I go inside this location, I’m looking for her, [but]I cannot find her,” said Jones. “When I did find her, she was holding hands with another guy walking down the stairs and I’m like ‘Wtf is this?’
“She was drunk, we went home, we got into an argument when we got home,” he added.
He also refuted fan claims that the unnamed man was just being a gentleman at the time.
“He was not helping her down the stairs,” insisted Jones.
Ultimately Jones told his followers that “that that woman [Iyanna]” whom he still cares for can “say whatever she wants to say but it doesn’t mean it’s true.”
He also seemingly took accountability for cheating.
“I wanted to speak my truth and get my stuff out there,” said Jones. “‘I’m big on character, I’m big on accountability. I’ve learned from it.”

As you can imagine, #LIB watchers aren’t buying Jarrette’s story and they’re sending him shade on social media for being less than serious with the allegations.

Hit the flip for that.

She insisted however that despite getting drunk, she told the man that was she spoken for.
‘”I remember yelling at him ‘I’m married, I’m married!’” said Iyanna.
She then said after her husband picked her up during the “hot ass mess of a night”, she innocently asked, ‘Wasn’t it nice that that gut was checking on me?’ leading to an argument before she blacked out from drinking. Considering how intoxicated she was, Iyanna said that Jarrette had doubts about what happened that night.
“I just need last night to never happen again,” she recalled her husband texting her.
During that same interview, Iyanna also said that Jarrete cheated with the woman in their marital bed.
“She knew my address, she knew my apartment number,” said Iyanna. “He brought her and her friend to our home. They didn’t have sex but they were kissing and groping each other in our bed.”
[…]
“He came clean immediately,” said Iyanna. “‘Yes, it happened but we didn’t have sex,” she recalled him saying.
Ultimately Iyanna said that despite Jarrette not sleeping with the woman, he had the “intention to cheat” and that was a dealbreaker.
As previously reported the couple called it quits in August 2022 by announcing that they were “moving in different directions.” Iyanna officially filed in October of that year and Iyanna shed tears after their divorce was finalized.
