Why did Jessica Barrett get a divorce?
According to Jessica, the two got divorced during the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated their differing lifestyles. She explained, “I only bring up the fact that I was divorced because, at the time, I would just watch people die, and come home, and crash.

Why did Jessica Barrett end her engagement with Chris Fusco?
On Love Is Blind, Jessica got engaged to Chris. However, after they arrived back in Ohio, Chris revealed that he was not physically attracted to Jessica and had been thinking a lot about his other connection, Brianna McNees. Naturally, she pulled the plug.
He told her, “I feel like [our physical connection] is super boring… Like, for me, just to be totally honest, and without sounding like a f**king d**khead, I don’t know how to say it. In the normal world, I date people who f**king do, like, CrossFit and sh*t.”
Standing her ground, Jessica responded, “Honestly, the fact that me not working out every day is even a sentence that even came up in this conversation is blowing my mind.”
