Who does Jackie end up with in My Life With The Walter Boys?
The first season of My Life With The Walter Boys ends on a cliffhanger after Jackie shares a passionate kiss with heart-throb ex-jock Cole despite also having a connection with his brother Alex.
She had earlier begun to question her feelings for Alex, who remains enraptured by her, due to his past.
Alex wakes the morning after Jackie and Cole’s heated moment in the barn to prepare a breakfast for her to enjoy in bed – but finds her room empty with a note that reads: “I’m sorry.”
Both he and Cole are surprised by Jackie’s sudden departure.
Fans were left with unanswered questions as the season’s final scene shows her on a plane with her uncle heading to New York City.

Born on December 12, 2002, the young rising star previously appeared, briefly, in the final season of Gen Z comedy On My Block.
