‘Love Is Blind’ Contestant Was Nervous To Reveal She’s a Mom—She Shouldn’t Be
Parents Magazine - February 2026
Single mom contestant, Jessica Vestal, has people debating if her decision was the right one.
Season 6 of Love is Blind is currently airing, and it's been making headlines for a unique reason: it features the first single mom participant, Jessica Vestal. Early in the initial batch of released episodes, Jessica expressed her fear about revealing to the male contestants that she is a mother.
"I'm super nervous about how some of the guys are gonna receive that I have a child,” she shared with the group.
Co-host of the Netflix show, Vanessa Lachey, asked, “Do you think that that’s something that you’re going to wait to tell someone, or you think that you’re going to come out of the gate, you know, and be like, by the way, I have a kid?”
To that, Jessica responded, "I want to give people the chance to get to know me individually first, because even though I'm a mother, and it's the most important thing to me, it doesn't define me. Like, I feel like I'll just know when the time is right to tell somebody."
