Exclusive Interview
‘Love Is Blind’s Jessica Dated ‘Someone Else Very Seriously’ in Season 10 Pods
What To Know
- Jessica Barrett got engaged to Chris Fusco during Love Is Blind Season 10, but split before their wedding.
- Jessica revealed to Swooon that she dated another man in the pods, which didn’t make the final cut of the show.
- Jessica is rumored to be currently dating someone from the pods.
During Love Is Blind Season 10, viewers only saw Jessica Barrett date Chris Fusco in the pods, later getting engaged and breaking up once they got back to their lives in Ohio. Though Jessica’s split with Chris has been one of the buzziest talking points of Season 10, it’s her time in the pods that has been a popular topic lately.
First, Jessica told Swooon that Chris hid his political views while they got to know each other. (The liberal Jessica’s first question in the pods was “Did you vote for Trump?”) “We start out with all 16 [guys],” she explained. “Because of my political views and how strongly I feel about them, I did narrow things down quite quickly.”
Jessica revealed that there were two men she considered, however, rather than just Chris. “But I dated somebody else very seriously throughout most of the experiment that y’all didn’t get to see,” she told Swooon.
When we asked if Jessica’s other contender was part of the Pod Squad or someone who made it beyond the engagement stage, Jessica said she wasn’t going to answer that “right now.”
We can only guess that Jessica remained tight-lipped because it may come up at the Season 10 reunion. Recently, the Reality Receipts podcast claimed that Jessica is going to use the occasion to announce that she’s dating somebody from the pods, though nothing has been confirmed officially. “A little birdie tells me it is this guy,” @storytimewithrikkii claimed. “His name is Haramol. He’s Pod Squad.”
Haramol Gill is a 36-year-old ER doctor who was included on the Season 10 cast list, but he wasn’t featured in the final cut of the show. “I am told that Haramol left very early in the experiment, which is why they didn’t continue their connection,” @storytimewithrikki alleged. “Though it wasn’t like [Jessica] picked Chris over him. He just left.”
