Contains spoilers for Love Is Blind
We're no strangers to iconic cast members called Jessica on Netflix's Love Is Blind. Who could forget the stand out figure from season one the Jessica who fed her dog red wine? And now six seasons later, we have a new Jessica, who is quickly rising to icon status.
29-year-old single mum Jessica Vestal was looking for her happy ever after on the show and quickly gained a connection with Jimmy. However, spoiler alert! Things didn't quite work out and Jimmy chose to propose to Chelsea. While she may not have found her husband in Jimmy, she has won the internet's hearts with her hilarious and powerful comeback quote to Jimmy when he rejected her. But before we get into the EpiPen of it all, here's what you need to know about Love Is Blind's season six's Jessica Vestal.
Who is Love Is Blind's Jessica?
Jessica is a 29-year-old executive assistant, and as mentioned on the show, she is a single mum to 10-year-old daughter Autumn, who she co-parents with her ex partner.
Before going into the Love Is Blind experiment Jessica said she one of the most important things she was looking for in potential partner is a sense of humour.
"Above almost anything else for me is a good sense of humour,” she said. “One thing about me is I'm going to laugh, and so that means he’s going to be laughing all the time — whether it be with me or at me."
She also said someone not accepting her daughter would be a complete deal-breaker.
What is Love Is Blind's Jessica's Instagram?
Jessica is on Instagram and her Instagram account handle is @jess.ves and she currently has just over 26,000 followers.
She regularly posts stunning photographs of herself and lots of pictures with Autumn.
What has Jessica said about Jimmy and her time on Love Is Blind?
During her time in the Love Is Blind pods, Jessica quickly developed a connection with 27-year-old Jimmy. They bonded over their shared stories of adoption and Jessica also told Jimmy about Autumn. However, things were not meant to be as Jimmy ended up feeling that he had a stronger connection with Chelsea, telling Chelsea he loved her before ending things with Jessica.
While ending their relationship through the pod wall, Jessica appeared to be very hurt by his words and had the best comeback for Jimmy not picking her. She said through the wall, "When you see and realise what you missed out on, you are going to choke. You're gonna choke. You are going to need your EpiPen to open up your airways because you are going to be in disbelief of what you missed out on." Ok yeah we might need to use that one.
Since the series has ended filming Jessica has reflected back on her time on the show and revealed she didn't reach out to Jimmy once they went their separate ways.
"No, not at all. Absolutely not," she told People. "I said my piece ... it's weird. It was like a flood of emotions. I was heartbroken, but I also had a sense of peace. I knew that it wasn't meant to be. I think he and I came to that understanding at probably the same time that we weren't meant for each other. So, no, I never had an afterthought about it."
She's also defended her decision to wait to tell the men in the pods about Autumn, telling Today, she had no "regrets" with her choices.
"I really wanted to, like I said (on the show), give someone the opportunity to get to know me first and not lead with the fact that I’m a mother. Because although that is the most important part of who I am, it doesn’t define me," she explained.
And since the release of the show, she's also posted on her Instagram Story defending Chelsea and saying she doesn't tolerate any hate towards her.
As for how Autumn feels about Jimmy? Well Jessica told People: "She's very protective of me. Her initial response was, 'That's his loss.' She's an extension of me, she's a chip off the old block.
"So, she knows whatever is meant for me will be clear and evident and you shouldn't have to wonder. If someone leaves you wondering where you stand with them, they’re not your person. So, yeah, she had some hard feelings."
While it didn't work out between Jimmy and Jessica, we're so glad to see Jessica has a great support system around her.
