What Happened To Jessica Vestal After Love Is Blind Season 6?

Jessica Vestal was one of the most popular cast members of Love Is Blind season 6, and it's time to catch up with the charming reality TV star after the show. The 30-year-old executive assistant connected with Jimmy Presnell in the pods, but he ended up proposing to Chelsea Blackwell. Jess bared her heart to Jimmy in a heartfelt letter, but he seemed overwhelmed by Jess' 11-year-old daughter, Autumn. Though her famous EpiPen diss skyrocketed Jess to internet fame, she left the pods alone. What has she been up to after the show?

Love Is Blind season 6 only produced one married couple, Johnny McIntyre and Amy Cortes. Though the two remain happily married today, the other cast members' engagements ended disastrously. Jimmy and Chelsea didn't make it to the altar, and Jeramey Lutinski allegedly cheated on Laura Dadisman with Sarah Ann Bick. Clay Gravesande couldn't overcome his womanizing ways and said no to Amber "AD" Smith at the altar, and Kenneth Gorham and Brittany Mills barely made it out of the pods. While she won't appear in Love Is Blind season 7, Jess remains a primary cast member.

Jessica Appeared In Perfect Match Season 2

She Dated Harry Jowsey After The Show

Shortly after filming for Love Is Blind season 6, Jess appeared on another hit Netflix reality TV show, Perfect Match season 2. While Jess was earnest about finding a life partner on Love Is Blind, Perfect Match is all about partying and staying in the house. However, she seemed to find a genuine connection with the notorious Too Hot To Handle bad boy Harry Jowsey.

Despite Harry kissing Melinda Melrose on a boys' beach outing, Jess and Harry stayed together for months after the show. Their relationship only ended when rumors swirled regarding Harry's relationship with his Dancing With The Stars costar Rylee Arnold, at which point Jess and Harry broke up. By the time Perfect Match season 2 aired, Jess and Harry's tumultuous relationship had ended, making Jess a single woman again.

She Represents Various Brands

Jess has become a popular influencer since starring in Love Is Blind and Perfect Match, with her posts often featuring her daughter, Autumn. Boasting over 1.4 million followers on the social media platform, Jess is now a model and representative for various brands, including SHEIN, Abercrombie, and Metro by T-Mobile. However, she doesn't just use her platform to advertise beauty brands and swimsuits.

Jess' beauty draws fans in, but her honesty and advocacy for important issues help her maintain followers.

Jess suffers from Crohn's Disease, a type of inflammatory bowel syndrome that irritates the digestive tract. She's become an outspoken voice for those suffering from the condition. Additionally, Jess was raised by foster parents and is an advocate for that community. While Jess receives hate online from certain followers, her posts also garner intense support for the single mother and reality TV star.

Jessica's Journey On Love Is Blind

She Got Rejected In The Pods

Jess's journey on Love Is Blind was a rollercoaster of emotions. The stunning beauty from Charlotte, North Carolina, was undoubtedly genuine in her pursuit of love and marriage. She fell for Jimmy, a 28-year-old software salesman from a small town in North Carolina. Jimmy and Jess instantly clicked, but Jimmy had another connection with flight attendant Chelsea. After Jess shared she had a daughter, Jimmy was shaken. She wrote him a letter, and Jimmy rejected Jess in favor of Chelsea.

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."

Shocked, Jess responded, "When you see and realize what you missed out on, you are going to choke," continuing, "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." While she and Jimmy later reconnected at the barbecue, Jess kept their conversation cordial. Their relationship ostensibly ended, though Jimmy and Chelsea didn't go through with their marriage.

Will Jessica Return To Reality TV For A Third Time?

Jess could return to a show like Dancing With The Stars, but she's had enough of dating shows. After speculation that she could become the next Bachelorette, Jess addressed the rumors on The Viall Files. When asked if she would ever consider going on The Bachelorette, Jess was quick to say no. "I don't think that's a thing," she responded, adding, "Do not call me for that." After two failed relationships playing out on reality TV, Jess wanted to protect her peace.

Jess remains one of the most popular figures from Love Is Blind despite not getting engaged in the pods. She's an advocate for foster care and Crohn's Disease, has become a successful influencer, and continues to showcase her love for her daughter, Autumn. Wherever Jess goes next, she's sure to be a success.

What Is Jessica Up To In 2025?

She's Moved On From Her LIB Days

Jessica had an interesting time on Love Is Blind season 6 but she left the show on top. Not only did Jessica become a popular influencer, amassing a following of 1.4 million on Instagram and almost 800,000 on TikTok. Her popularity has continued in 2025, and there are no signs of Jessica slowing down. Her most recent post on Instagram is a TikTok of her doing a voice-over from The Kardashians and relating it to the Super Bowl, which took place on February 9. In the post before that, Jessica congratulated her daughter on her recent grades despite some challenges she faced with her grades in the beginning.

Like any other influencer, Jessica is still sharing cute outfits and fun events she had gone to in 2025. However, it seems in the new year, Jessica is spending even more time with her daughter than she already was. Jessica is clearly a dedicated mom and always has been, but now that her daughter is growing up, Jessica clearly wants to spend as much time with her as possible.

As for whether Jessica will appear in any other reality shows in 2025, that is very unlikely. Jessica had a terrible time on both Love Is Blind and Perfect Match, so the chances are slim for her. Plus, with her new found success, Jessica doesn't need to be on any more reality shows.

Love Is Blind seasons 1-6 are available to stream on Netflix.
