The Later Daters recently premiered on Netflix on November 29, 2024. The docu-series features six baby boomers going on dates after a long time while receiving tips from their family members. The show also features a dating coach, Logan Ury, who helps the participants with various tips before going on their dates.

One of the participants in The Later Daters is Nate, 56. Along with him, the show features his ex-girlfriend Jackie. She is often seen in his confessionals and, on various occasions, helping him prepare for his dates.

As revealed in the show's debut episode, Nate also shares a daughter with Jackie and refers to his former girlfriend as his best friend. Seeing how close he and Jackie had been over time, fans took to social media platform X to react to their relationship.

One of The Later Daters fans shared on X,

"Nate and Jackie need to quit playing. Jackie wanna be with him. I don’t think he wanna be with her but the closeness they have isn’t gonna work for any other woman to take him serious. #thelaterdaters."

Another fan shared on X and wrote about how Jackie, aka "baby momma," might turn out to be an issue related to his dating,

"Nate being so close to his baby momma might be an issue especially b/c their child is grown af so they have no reason to be this close. No woman wants her man being this close with their grown child’s mother. I wonder why they won’t just get back together #LaterDaters."

Another X user mentioned,

"Elephant in the room is why aren't Jackie and Nate together. Y'all wasting these people's time. #thelaterdaters."

One more fan wrote on the platform,

"Why isn't Nate with his baby mama?? #laterdaters."

Another The Later Daters fan commented,

"They have a child together and they are best friends. So why Nate and Jackie not together? #laterdaters."

Another fan wrote,

"Nate & his ex have good chemistry #laterdaters."

One more fan commented on X,

"Anyone watching #TheLaterDaters ? Nate going into the dating field with his ex-girl skin-to-skin with him on the couch is she going to approve your new woman too?"

Another fan wrote,

"Nate baby mama 100% lives her life by what he says he wants hoping one day he’ll realize she’s the one #TheLaterDatersNetflix #TheLaterDaters."

One more fan wrote on X,

"Hmmm I do wonder if Jackie still has feelings for him tho. #laterdaters."

One of The Later Daters fans wrote on the platform,

"So Nate doesn't have a male friend to assist him #laterdaters."

The Later Daters: Fans reacted to Jackie - Nate's former girlfriend

The Later Daters on Netflix features Nate, a retired Army veteran, as one of the "baby boomers." His Netflix bio described Nate, as:

"A divorced father of two. He shares one daughter with an ex-girlfriend from college (who is now his best friend and confidant). He was later engaged to someone else, but it didn’t work out due to his former partner’s infidelity. Later, he married another woman with whom he had a second daughter; he and his wife stayed together for 16 years."

Since The Later Daters premiered, viewers witnessed Jackie with Nate in various confessionals. Additionally, she has also been featured in the show after Nate's dates, inquiring about how his dates went and more.
