Jessica Vestal rose to Netflix fame appearing as a contestant on Love Is Blind season 6. The reality star was unlucky in love during the unique dating experience. She showed her vulnerable side in the pods before her love interest chose someone else to continue their journey with. Now, Jess is appearing on Perfect Match and off the back of season 2, she says: “Trauma bonds are a real thing.”
Netflix‘s Perfect Match gathers together singles from across all kinds of shows. While Tolú Ekundare had her first taste of Netflix stardom on The Trust, more stars such as Izzy Zapata and Micah Lussier began their reality TV fame looking for true love. Now, their search continues on Perfect Match.
Jess talks ‘trauma bond’ on Perfect Match
As Perfect Match season 2 comes to a close on June 21, many viewers of the show are curious to know whether many of the couples are still together.
When it comes to Jessica’s romance with Harry Jowsey, fans and their fellow co-stars were going heavy on the predictions that it wouldn’t work out.
And, sadly for the two TV stars, things didn’t result in ‘happily ever after’. Harry confirmed he split up with a “secret girlfriend” after filming in an episode of his Boyfriend Material podcast back in April.
Now, Jessica is taking to Instagram to share her thoughts on her Perfect Match experience.
A fan comments on her post: “Girl you deserve so much better. If you have to second guess everything someone tells you that’s your cue to leave the people we’re attracted to represent the childhood trauma we need to heal about ourselves though.”
In response, Jessica writes: “Trauma bonds are a real thing and sometimes necessary for us to grow, unfortunately.”
Many of Jess’ fans take to the comments to share how much “respect” they have for her following her appearance on Perfect Match. More are calling for the single mom to become the next Bachelorette.
Harry is ‘still working on himself’
Reflecting on his Dancing With The Stars experience back in April, Harry told his podcast listeners that he was “still working on himself.”
He added how he wasn’t sure if the connection with his “secret girlfriend” (AKA Jess) was “love, lust, or infatuation,” but the two ended up going their separate ways.
A recent episode of Boyfriend Material sees Harry talking about his time on Perfect Match. A year on from the show, he admits his behavior wasn’t the best but adds how the show doesn’t show every part of someone’s personality.
Speaking of the first time he met Jess, Harry said he thought she was “the most beautiful girl he’d ever seen,” adding how viewers have to agree it’s clear to see their chemistry.
The star adds how he’s now a “different human than he was a year ago.”
