Zaina reflects on her relationship with J.R. in The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 episode 9
In The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 3 episode 9, while on her way to make the final decision, Zaina reflected on her journey with J.R. She shared that her love for J.R. increased during their trial marriage and gave them clarity on what their future would look like. Now that it was the ultimatum day, Zaina was ready to hear what J.R.'s decision was regarding their relationship.
She told the cameras that this experience would "change their lives forever" regardless of whether they decided to stay together or not. She said:
"You can still pursue your dreams but have your woman by your side. This is it. This is the last moments of us on this journey. Whatever we decide on will forever change our lives."
Zaina explained the reason behind issuing an ultimatum to J.R. was because of how "dismissive" he would be about their potential marriage. The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On cast member on the other hand shared he had doubts about marrying once again as he did not want to go through another divorce. Meanwhile, Zaina shared her perspective in front of the cameras. She said:
"It's Ultimatum Day, I woke up feeling a lot of emotions. Physically I just feel very anxious. I love J.R., I issued him an ultimatum, and I need him to actually be honest with himself because any time future talk would come up, he would be dismissive."
During her confessional interview, she expressed gratitude about being paired up with Scotty for the trial marriage. Despite the clashes and arguments between them, Zaina stated that he had a good heart and true intention to start a family, she said:
"As awkward as it was, I am glad I ended up with Scotty, even throughout the crash and burn. He genuinely just wants to love on someone. He wants to build a family with someone. So, when you have that level of excitement and optimism for a future, you look at things differently."
