Love Is Blind’s Chris and Jessica split
Chris and Jessica’s split plays out in the next instalment of Love Is Blind episodes, which dropped on Netflix today.
The couples are back from Cabo in Mexico and return to normal life. They also begin meeting their new in-laws for the first time.
Things appear to be going well for Chris and Jessica until he lands a sucker punch during a chat on the sofa one evening.
He asks his fiancée if she thinks they “have a good physical connection”. Jessica says she does.
But Chris tells her: “In my world I date people who do [bleep-ing] CrossFit and [bleep]. So like I’m trying to, I don’t know, somebody who works out all the time and has a different type of…”
Jessica asks: “A different type of body?”
Chris continues: “Somebody who does [bleep-ing] pilates every day or working out every day. In these situations, it’s hard for me to be physically in that moment. I just don’t know if it’s there for me.”
Jessica started crying. But it just got worse.
Jessica ‘extremely hurt’ by Chris’ words
Chris went on to tell Jessica he had spent several days “thinking about his number 2 person”. He didn’t name her, but viewers know this is Bri McNees.
“All of these things are really hard to hear,” Jessica told him.
Weirdly, Chris said he wants to “figure it out”, as they have “fun together”.
But she hits back: “I feel really stupid. The fact that me not working out everyday is even a sentence that came up in this conversation is even blowing my mind.
“I just work at the hospital every day. I was very upfront about this. There was no illusion that I would be going to pilates everyday. It makes me feel [bleep] too.”
She adds: “If my body isn’t going to be good enough for you, I’m never going to be like, ‘Please still love me’. That’s not what I’m here for.”
Jessica tells Chris she is going home, packs her bags leaves.
Sitting next to her suitcase, she says to the cameras: “Love was absolutely blind for me. I was madly in love with Chris but with him doing this complete 180 and feeling like a different person, I could never look at him the same.
“I’m extremely disappointed and extremely hurt. But I have a wonderful life and don’t want to be with someone unless they make it better.”
Chris. meanwhile, harshly said: “I get it. When you’re 90 years old, not everyone is going to look good. But I’m not 90.”
Red flags, or what?!
Chris slides into Bri’s DMs
At the end of episode 9, the entire group of Love Is Blind stars meet for a night of drinks and skittles.
Jessica arrives and, showing their support, the girls all shout: “You look amazing! God, your body is so perfect! Have you been working out?!”
But by the end of the show, it’s revealed Chris slid into Bri’s LinkedIn DMs following his break-up with Jessica. He then pulls her to one side for a chat at the bar.
Chris tells Bri that her man, Connor Spies, is “submissive”, adding: “I saw you and was like, that is the girl I would literally propose to.”
We now have an entire week to wait to find out how Bri reacts!
