Love Is Blind’s Zack exposes real reason he ditched Bliss for Irina in love triangle drama
Love is Blind star Zack Goytowski admitted he "didn't have the courage" to see if things would have worked out with Bliss amid his love triangle drama.
Love Is Blind: Netflix announces release date for season 4
Love Is Blind definitely brought the drama with its fourth season, thanks to cast member Zack Goytowski and his sticky love triangle situation with Bliss and Irina. After going back and forth about his decision, Zack finally chose to stick with Irina, which didn't sit well with fans’ forcing the reality star to explain why he initially chose her as his fiancee.
During his time in the pods, Zack seemed to bond with multiple women, but they didn't compare to his attraction to contestants Irina and Bliss.
Despite falling for both, Irina and Bliss appeared to be complete opposites.
Irina was quickly branded a “mean girl” by viewers for her conflicts with other women,
While Bliss showed her caring side by baking cupcakes for Zack on his birthday.
As the time came to choose his fiancee, Zack chose Irina, though their engagement soon took a turn for the worse when the two met face-to-face.
Irina openly admitted to not being attracted to her fiancee while gushing over fellow contestant Paul Peden.
And after many awkward moments and low blows, Irina showed her true colours when she disregarded Zack on their honeymoon in Mexico.
So it didn't shock fans when Zack finally put an end to their relationship during episode five.
But since then the reality star has explained why he initially picked Irina as his fiancée, despite having a genuine connection with Bliss.
In a comment on Instagram, Zack lifted the lid on his love triangle situation.
He wrote: “I think if you watch closely, you can see who I loved more. Look at how I was when each relationship ended.
“Do you see how devastated I was when I ended it with Bliss? I laid on the couch with a pillow over my head crying for hours.”
The star then explained his reasoning to choose Irina, saying: “Maybe the truth is I didn’t have the courage to see if our love could overcome all obstacles.
“Maybe I thought there was too much in the real world that would get in the way. Maybe I thought she was a little too good for me.”
Although Zack did admit he made the wrong decision, explaining: I wasn’t just thinking about who was best for me. I was thinking about whose family would accept me and who would actually say, ‘I do,’ at the altar.
“And who would be able to accept me — all of me. I definitely did make the wrong choice. But first choice doesn’t mean best choice.”

The reality star also reiterated his mistake of choosing Irina in an interview with Us Weekly.
He admitted: “I would say I made a mistake with not picking Bliss [in the first place], and I think that was the real mistake. I knew that when I ended it [with Irina] and was kind of dealing with that.
“I don’t know how much you could see of the turmoil that I was going through, but when I did end it, then my very first thing was I wanted to go and tell [producers] to bring [Bliss] back and that I had made the wrong choice.”
Before concluding: “But I knew I had to live with the decision.”
Seasons one to four of Love is Blind is available to stream in the US and UK on Netflix.
