Get to Know ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 11 Star Scott ‘Stew’ Stewart
According to Netflix, “You know [Stew’s] serious about finding that someone because he skipped ‘peak ski season’ in favor of spending time in the pods.” Now that Love Is Blind Season 11 is finally here, fans are eager to find out more about Scott “Stew” Stewart, who gives big Kennedy energy… Unless you ask his fiancée, who likened him to Mitt Romney. Either way, there’s a politician in there somewhere.
This season, we’ve headed to Boston to fall in love “sight unseen” with a new cast of singles. Even though Stew is from Connecticut, not Massachusetts, he’s taken the cake (or the Mike’s Pastry box) as the most talked-about single so far, and for good reason. He’s gotten very candid about his family’s two houses, his prep school days, and the “long pedigree of Stewarts” who have made a name for themselves in New England.
Now that we’ve gotten to know Stew on-screen, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about the Boston semi-native’s life off-camera, including his job, relationship status, and more.
Who is Stew on Love Is Blind?
Right off the bat, Stew gave viewers a sense of his personality, explaining, “We all want to present an appearance, especially across the wall. We all want to give an indication of our status and who we are.” While he claims that he tried to lay low on the whole status thing, the guys immediately started calling him “Kennedy.”
At 34, Stew is an engineer with multiple patents. Netflix describes him as “Spontaneous Stew,” revealing that “in the winter, he could be on the slopes in Colorado, and in summer months, boating around Block Island, Rhode Island.” After all, he shared with the streamer, “It’s very rare for me to have a weekend back in Boston, and I want someone who’s willing to, at the drop of a hat, join in on some of those adventures.”
In the pods, Stew shared a bit more about his childhood, explaining, “We had two houses that we moved back and forth from each year. So, warmer months, we lived kinda on the shore, cottage, beautiful. And then, kind of like the academic school year with a buffer zone, we were more inland, kind of just small suburb.” Later, he shared that he went to “Xavier Preparatory Boys School for Men.”

What is Stew’s job?
According to his LinkedIn, Stew is a Director of Engineering at SharkNinja, the appliance company. He started his career at the company in 2016 as a Mechanical Design Engineer and worked his way up from Engineering Manager to his current position. He attended Northeastern from September 2010 to May 2015, where he earned a Bachelor of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Business Administration.
Did Stew get engaged?
Ultimately, Stew did get engaged in the pods. He connected with Jacqueline “Jax” Guelli during the first episode, and during Episode 3, she told him that she knew they were the right fit since the moment they met. For him, their relationship was more of a slow burn, which makes sense as soon as he reveals that he’s never been in love before.
Despite Jax’s apprehension about his potential “commitment issues,” she says yes to his extravagant proposal. However, right after they met IRL, Jax was taken aback by how awkward their physical connection was. Moments after meeting face-to-face, Jax told production she was leaving the experiment and didn’t want Stew to contact her when they got back to Boston.
