Love Is Blind season 6 star Jess Vestal may be dating another Love Is Blind alum after her tumultuous time on the series with Jimmy Presnell. While Jess went onto Love Is Blind hoping she’d find the love of a lifetime, things took a turn for the worse when she matched up with Jimmy. Though their connection seemed strong, things began to falter after Jess confided in Jimmy that she was a single mother. She’d been hopeful to let Jimmy get to know her for her first, but he was put off by her withholding information and broke things off.
On the Viall Files podcast with Bachelor Nation host Nick Viall, Jess teased a new relationship with another Love Is Blind alum, though she stayed quiet on the details. “I can’t say [who]. I’m still trying to sort things out right now,” Jess shared, when Nick asked if she was attracted to anyone else on the Love Is Blind season 6 cast. “I had another strong connection…You could probably use context clues if you look at the cast, but I’m not saying any names.” While Jess kept quiet about her attraction, it’s clear that there’s something viewers weren’t privy to.

Jess Vestal Gives Clues About New Love Interest
While Jess wouldn’t name names, she did tease another love interest by answering some of Nick’s burning questions. When asked about her physical type, Jess shared she usually goes for a “super specific type” of guy. “Extremely tall – at least 6’2 because most of my exes are 6’4 [or] 6’5,” Jess shared, explaining she also likes a, “beard, always a beard, [and] I’d prefer tattoos, like a sleeve, but if they don’t have that, I might be OK with tall, dark and handsome.” Jess’s specifications guy are extreme, but she hoped to open her options on Love Is Blind.
Jess’s appearance on Love Is Blind has been one of the most highly discussed parts of the show, landing her in the spotlight for the duration of the season so far. While Jess’s relationship with Jimmy fell flat, the fact that she’s been part of Love Is Blind season 6 and been able to be so authentically herself has been a major plus for the single mother. In sharing her truth on the series and showing off what it means to truly speak her mind, she’s been an inspiration to viewers all over the world.
While Jess may not have found love in the pods, it’s possible she’s found something even better outside. If her interview with Nick on Viall Files is any indicator, Jess is hopefully working toward a new relationship that could’ve stemmed from a connection she made on the series. Though her time on Love Is Blind season 6 was tricky for her to navigate, it’s clear Jess hopes she’ll be able to move forward with positive memories from the experience.
