Perfect Match is back for a second season. The hit Netflix series follows alumni from the streaming platform\u2019s other reality shows such as Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle and The Circle.<\/p>\n

The rules of Perfect Match<\/a> see contestants playing Cupid and fighting for their place in the villa daily with \u201ccompatibility challenges\u201d, overseen by host Nick Lachey.<\/p>\n

The winners can then bring one or two new people into the mix, causing chaos for those already forming relationships. The most compatible pair, according to those in the villa, will take home the crown at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Perfect Match<\/a> returns to Netflix<\/a> on 7th June, but before all the drama that is certain to unfold begins, let\u2019s meet ex-Love Is Blind contestant Jessica Vestal, who is set to compete in the show\u2019s second season.<\/p>\n

Age: <\/strong>29<\/p>\n

Instagram: @jess.ves<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Job:<\/strong> Executive assistant<\/p>\n

From: <\/strong>Rockville, Illinois<\/p>\n

Jessica Vestal is an executive assistant from Illinois in the US<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jessica has a 10-year-old daughter called Autumn.<\/p>\n

Being a single mum, she said when introducing herself on the sixth season of Love Is Blind that she and her daughter were a \u201cpackage deal\u201d. She added that if the man she was paired with couldn\u2019t accept her child, it would be a \u201cdeal-breaker\u201d.<\/p>\n

Before going on Love Is Blind, Jessica explained humour was an important quality to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbove almost anything else for me is a good sense of humour. One thing about me is I\u2019m going to laugh,\u201d she said, \u201cand so that means he\u2019s going to be laughing all the time \u2014 whether it be with me or at me.\u201d<\/p>\n

What happened to Jessica on Love Is Blind?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jessica Vestal became attached to one of the other contestants, Jimmy, during her time on Love Is Blind.<\/p>\n

The two went on multiple dates and she was all-in. She even gave her beau the letter she\u2019d written years previously; it was addressed to her future husband.<\/p>\n

However, Jimmy was torn between Jessica and one of the other women, Chelsea. Ultimately, he chose the latter and he proposed to her, leaving Jessica heartbroken<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

During their break-up, Jessica gave a passionate yet cutting speech. She even went as far as to diss his EpiPen. Jimmy revealed to her early on in their relationship he carried one on him as he had severe allergies.<\/p>\n

She told him: \u201cWhen you see and realise what you missed out on, you are going to 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two have mostly stayed out of each other\u2019s way ever since, though things did get a bit tense when Jimmy labelled Jessica a \u201cmean girl\u201d<\/a> in an interview with E! News.<\/p>\n

Underneath the clip, which was posted to Instagram, Jessica penned: \u201cThis is easier for him to say than whatever the real reason was that he didn\u2019t want to be with me. Notice in all the interviews I\u2019ve done, I speak highly of him and our experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn his interviews, he takes every opportunity to speak poorly of me and flat-out lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

More recently, the two seem to have become civil again. Jessica has said nothing will ever happen romantically between them now, even though Jimmy has broken up with Chelsea \u2013 twice \u2013 since the show finished filming.<\/p>\n

She said<\/a>: \u201cJust out of respect for Chelsea, that\u2019s not something he and I have ever explored or probably ever will. We don\u2019t have a relationship at all. And I\u2019m very close with mostly all of the cast from the show.\u201d<\/p>\n
