Get your EpiPen ready — Jessica Vestal chatted with “Extra” at the “Love Is Blind” Season 6 Reunion!
She described what went through her mind when she told him about Jimmy Presnell in the pod, promising that if he saw her he would “choke” and need an EpiPen.
She said, “At that moment, I think I was heartbroken and going through a breakup phase, because I had known for 24 hours that we were going to break up. Everything I was feeling came to a head and I… I wanted to let him know that I was happy for him and Chelsea, but I also wanted to let him know that I was almost suffocating knowing what he was missing out on.”
When the two finally met in person, Jess had no desire to reconcile. She said: “When I met Jimmy, I wasn’t holding out hope. I never thought we’d end up together. To meet him, to be able to see his face and hear his voice, to be by his side, to be with him. It was really nice to be able to appreciate the experience I had.”
When asked about Jimmy’s comment that there was “good editing” on the show, Jess replied: As for the pod experience, I think that’s what he was talking about. I was a little surprised. I couldn’t believe he had the audacity to say something like that, even though we had recently reconciled and become friends. ”
Did she think her role as a mother played a role in their breakup? She replied: “If it was part of Jimmy’s decision for me to have a child, I don’t think I would ever want to know.”
“I think I was one of the only people in the breakup who didn’t ask why. The reason didn’t matter to me. I just knew it wasn’t me, and That was all I needed to know. ”
Jess said her daughter Autumn thinks it’s “so cool” to see her mom on TV. Jess said: [Netflix] She hopes that she might be able to get some of the benefits that I might get from it. She thinks she’s keeping me around because she wants to see me. ”
Despite not finding her match, Jess believes that love is blind. She said, “I think my story is true proof that you can truly fall in love with someone on the other side of the wall without ever meeting them.”
She added, “This experience taught me that if you’re serious about someone, the most effective way to date is to be vulnerable and show them everything you are.” .Give the other person a chance to reveal everything and get to know you completely.” Then they can love you completely. ”
