Jess Vestal<\/strong> didn\u2019t find lasting love during her time on Love Is Blind<\/em><\/a>, though she exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em> that she found life-long friendships with her female costars.<\/p>\n \u201cI am very close with most of my cast mates. I mean, going through the experience of reality TV is just one that you only understand if you\u2019ve lived it,\u201d Jess, 30, tells Life & Style<\/em> while promoting her Back to School collection with SHEIN<\/a>. \u201cSo those are friendships and relationships that are really special because it\u2019s a lot to navigate through.\u201d<\/p>\n She adds that starring on the reality show allowed her to \u201cform really close bonds\u201d with the others on the show. \u201cI think most of us will be friends forever,\u201d Jess continues. \u201cEven as cheesy as that sounds, I mean, we\u2019re kind of bonded for life.\u201d<\/p>\n Jess appeared on season 6 of Love Is Blind<\/span><\/i>. While sparks flew between her and <\/span>Jimmy Presnell<\/b>, he ultimately became engaged to <\/span>Chelsea Blackwell<\/b>. <\/span>Jimmy, 28, and Chelsea, 31, eventually split<\/span><\/a> before they were able to tie the knot, though Jess was notably supportive of Chelsea following their time in the pods.<\/p>\n Not only did Jess gush about her Love Is Blind<\/em> costars, but she also opened up about her collaboration with SHEIN. The collection \u2013 which she worked on with her daughter, Autumn \u2013 features 127 items, including school supplies, lunch gear and fashion designed to help get kids ready for school.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a mom, I understand the importance of finding school items that make kids feel comfortable, confident, and able to express themselves every day,\u201d the Netflix star said in a press release about the collaboration. \u201cPartnering with SHEIN, a brand that perfectly balances style and affordability, and having the chance to work closely with my daughter has been such a rewarding experience. Through this collection, we wanted to ensure that every item meets the needs of students, helping them feel stylish, practical and ready for the new school year.\u201d<\/p>\n Jess recalls working with Autumn for the collaboration, telling Life & Style<\/em> that the experience was \u201camazing.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt couldn\u2019t have been better,\u201d she says, admitting she was \u201ca little bit nervous\u201d about working with Autumn because her mom mode and working mode are so different. \u201cI know what I\u2019m like in work mode [and] I know what I\u2019m like in mom mode and so merging the two, I was like, \u2018Oh my gosh, is this gonna be really stressful?\u2019\u201d Jess shares. \u201cHow is she gonna do on set? But she killed it. The entire team was amazing \u2026 It was so much fun.\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, Jess reveals if\u00a0<\/span>fans can expect to see her return to the world of reality TV<\/span><\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to say because as far as reality TV goes, everything happens really quickly. And believe it or not, very last minute,\u201d Jess, who also <\/span>appeared on season 2 of Netflix\u2019s <\/span>Perfect Match<\/span><\/i><\/a>, explains. \u201cBut I think I\u2019m definitely retired from doing reality dating shows.\u201d<\/p>\n She adds that she \u201cdefinitely would revisit\u201d starring on a reality TV show \u201cdepending on the concept and opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
