Scott “Stew” Stewart has debuted a new beard after fans suggested facial hair would complement his features. The Love Is Blind star showed off the look in a TikTok, captioned, “The sweet smell of victory,” alongside audio of Michael Scott’s “how the turn tables” line from The Office.
The transformation comes ahead of the season 11 reunion, scheduled to air Nov. 8. Fan pages, hairstylists and med spas had shared images imagining Stewart with a fuller beard. Responding to one viewer who wrote, “The beard has arrived,” Stewart said, “The people have spoken!!!” He also told a fan urging him to keep growing it that he would take the advice for next time.
Stewart’s appearance became a talking point after his fiancée, Jacqueline “Jax” Guelli, ended their engagement shortly after they met face-to-face. Guelli later told E! News that her decision came from feeling emotionally overwhelmed, rather than from Stewart’s character. She said she had doubts about the proposal in the pods but hoped meeting in person would bring a stronger connection.
Guelli said the former couple discussed what happened after filming, including when she sent Stewart a message. Stewart told E! News that she explained her reaction was connected to the emotional strain of the preceding weeks, not to him personally.
