Things didn’t work out between Jessica Vestal and Jimmy Presnell on Love Is Blind, but she might have found another relationship after leaving the pods.
Jessica, 29, teased on Thursday’s episode of The Viall Files podcast that she “had another strong connection” on the show, with whom “I’m still trying to sort certain things out.”
Though she declined to name the man she’s pursuing, Jessica said his physical appearance aligns more with what she usually finds herself attracted to in a partner.
“I have a super specific type,” Jessica told host Nick Viall. “Like, extremely tall, like at least 6’2”. At least. Well, I’m saying because most of my exes are like 6’4”, 6’5”. Beard. Beard. Always a beard. I prefer tattoos but like, like a sleeve. But if they don’t have it, I might be OK with that. Just like, tall dark and handsome.”

Jessica Vestal on 'Love is Blind'.The show's first single mom suggested listeners might be able to figure out which Love Is Blind season 6 cast member she rekindled with based on that description.
“You could probably use context clues if you looked at the cast,” Jessica said. “But I can’t say any names because I’m still trying to sort some things out. I’ve learned to hold my cards closer to my chest with stuff like that."
The Netflix star confirmed that Jimmy, 28, did not match the physical type that she usually goes for, but she expected that going into Love Is Blind.
“Most of us on there, you see the person you fell in love with, and nine times out of 10, they’re not your physical type,” Jessica said.

Jessica Vestal and Jimmy PresnellJessica and Jimmy came face to face for the first time in the latest episode of Love Is Blind. The executive assistant said on The Viall Files she felt “the strangest mix of emotions” when she finally saw Jimmy in real life.
“I did feel like I dodged a bullet and I knew that he wasn't my person, but there was an equal amount of, oh my God, this is the person I just fell in love with like two weeks ago or three weeks ago. And he knows more about me than most humans walking this planet,” she continued. “So, I felt like a connection, but not a connection a far as ‘I want to be with him’ or I’m wondering what could have been.”

Jessica told PEOPLE she never considered reaching out to Jimmy after he left the pods engaged to Chelsea Blackwell and they returned to Charlotte, North Carolina.
"No, not at all. Absolutely not," Jessica said. "I said my piece ... it's weird. It was like a flood of emotions. I was heartbroken, but I also had a sense of peace. I knew that it wasn't meant to be. I think he and I came to that understanding at probably the same time that we weren't meant for each other. So, no, I never had an afterthought about it."
