Love Is Blind's Jimmy Presnell has responded to speculation of romance with Jess Vestal following the end of their season.
The two did a lot of flirting in the pods, but Jimmy decided to pursue Chelsea Blackwell instead. However, Chelsea recently confirmed their relationship came to an end once again shortly after filming wrapped.
But for any fans hoping that Jimmy and Jess are now going to pursue their initial connection, he told Entertainment Weekly that it's probably unlikely.

"I mean, I saw her out at the bars a couple times, said hello," he explained. "But she's definitely sitting there staring at me like, 'Who the f-**k is this guy?'
"All of our conversations have been pretty surface level the last couple of weeks since the show's launched. We've been back and forth and been pretty friendly and playful, messing with each other. But yeah, nothing really came of it."
Jimmy and Jess met face-to-face at the Love Is Blind reunion special, and Jess recently said: "Meeting him at the lake, I felt our interactions from the pods carried over. I feel like I was pouring so much in and not getting a lot back...
"I will say he was very respectful of Chelsea," she said. "And we both came to the mutual decision that we were not meant for each other and it would not have worked outside of the pods."
In another interview, Jess said that Jimmy sent her a friend request on social media, but rescinded the invitation after a few hours went by without her accepting it.
She said: "I thought sending the friend request and then when I didn't accept it, him taking it back, was pretty audacious of him.
"But it kind of just told me a little bit more about who he was, which I guess there's nothing wrong with that. It just verified more that that wasn't my person."
Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix now.
