In the first season of The Trust, Julie and Jake quickly develop a strong bond that gives the impression they might be a couple. This situation creates tension for Julie, as the other women are not too fond of the Army veteran.

After the Season 1 finale of The Trust: A Game of Greed, in which Julie and Jake emerged victorious, Jake revealed to Entertainment Weekly that, post-filming, he and the entrepreneur had contemplated continuing their romance off-screen. However, they had conflicting perspectives on the idea.

"We were asked, 'Could you guys see dating each other long-term?' And right off the bat, Julie's like, 'Yeah, of course I could,' and I was like, 'Well, thinking logically, we're really far apart. Maybe,'" Jake said. "And then right after the show finished filming, it was that very next weekend, Julie came to visit me. We hung out that whole weekend, had a ton of fun here in Florida, and then three weeks later, I flew to Austin, did some fun things together."

Jake revealed that their connection deepened once the cameras stopped rolling, evolving into a genuinely romantic relationship. He shared, "We had a romantic couple of weekends together, spent some good time together, and we did things that a normal couple would do, going out, and tons of fun events together, and meeting her friends."

Despite the authenticity of their on-screen flirtation, Jake acknowledged that, towards the end of filming, they began considering the practicality of their relationship beyond the show.

"She's in Texas, I'm in Florida, we live vastly different lifestyles. Is it really going to be something that's going to be a long-term commitment longevity? We both realized that, clearly, it's not. She has a great career path in front of her, and I wish her nothing but the best."

After those initial romantic weekends, they decided to transition to a platonic friendship.

"We went silent for a little while, just because we were getting ready for the show to air, so there was a few months of just really not talking," Jake explained to EW. "And then finally, a month or so before the show aired, we reconnected, and everything was great. But truly, on set, it was very, very romantic. Now we're just platonic."

Season 1 of The Trust is now streaming on Netflix.
