Jessica Vestal quickly became a fan favorite after her appearance on the hit Netflix reality dating show, Love Is Blind. Her journey on the show and subsequent appearance on Perfect Match have left many viewers curious about her life, especially her dating life. While promoting her exciting collaboration with SHEIN for their Back to School collection, Jess shared some insights into her current focus and future plans with Life & Style, giving us a glimpse into who Jess from Love is Blind is today.
While fans were captivated by her quest for love on reality TV, Jess, now 29, indicates that she might be taking a step back from the dating show scene. “It’s hard to say because as far as reality TV goes, everything happens really quickly. And believe it or not, very last minute,” she explained in her Life & Style interview. However, she added, “But I think I’m definitely retired from doing reality dating shows.” This suggests that while the door might not be entirely closed for reality TV in general, viewers shouldn’t anticipate seeing Jess back on a dating show anytime soon.

Despite her potential departure from dating reality shows, Jess is open to other opportunities within the reality TV sphere. She mentioned she “definitely would revisit” the idea of starring in a reality TV show, emphasizing that it would depend on “the concept and opportunity.” This leaves room for Jess to explore different types of reality TV formats that align with her current interests and priorities.
Currently, Jess is channeling her energy into a different kind of partnership – a collaboration with SHEIN for their Back to School collection. This project is particularly meaningful to her as she worked on it alongside her daughter, Autumn. The collection boasts an impressive 127 items, ranging from essential school supplies to trendy fashion accessories, all designed to equip students for a successful school year.
Jess highlighted the personal significance of this collaboration, stating in a press release, “As a mom, I understand the importance of finding school items that make kids feel comfortable, confident, and able to express themselves every day.” She further elaborated on the rewarding experience of working with her daughter and partnering with SHEIN, a brand known for blending style with affordability. The aim of the collection, she explained, is to ensure that every item meets the practical and stylistic needs of students, empowering them to feel prepared and confident for the new school year.
Speaking to Life & Style, Jess warmly described working with Autumn as “amazing” and “better than I could have imagined.” She admitted to initial nervousness about combining her “mom mode” with “work mode,” wondering how her daughter would adapt to being on set. However, her worries were quickly dispelled as Autumn thrived during the photoshoot. Jess praised the entire team and fondly recalled the experience as “so much fun,” emphasizing that it has become a cherished “core memory” for both her and Autumn.
Jess’s dedication to motherhood is evident, and she openly discusses navigating parenthood while being in the public eye. She believes that fame hasn’t fundamentally altered her parenting style or core values. “I don’t think my views or parenting style has changed much at all. I think at my core, all aspects of myself are basically the same,” she shared. Jess strives for a balanced approach, being open about her public life with Autumn without overexposing her. While Autumn doesn’t have her own social media presence, Jess maintains open communication with her about any stories or headlines that might emerge, ensuring transparency and a consistent approach to life, both in and out of the spotlight.
