Unfortunately, their relationship takes a turn for the worse when Jessica learns about Harry and Melinda's secret kiss at the men's mixer, leading her to end things with him.

So, is Jessica Vestal dating Harry Jowsey?

As of now, it's safe to assume that Jessica and Harry are not dating — but they did give their relationship another shot! The end of the Season 2 finale includes an update about Jess and Harry's relationship.

The clip shows them a month after filming ended, with Harry revealing they are "still going strong." In the video, Jess also shares her plans to move to Los Angeles. However, despite Harry repeatedly asking the former Love Is Blind contestant to be his girlfriend ("probably 98 times," he admits), Jess felt they "needed to work on things."

"I wonder when this is gonna come out. We'll be strong by then. We'll probably be married by then," Harry predicts. Sadly, a title card interrupts with the news that the most-talked-about couple of the season broke up just one week after recording the update.

Harry and Jess frequently spoke about a future together.

Throughout their time together on the Netflix dating show, Harry and Jess were very open about their desire to continue their romance beyond the villa. But now, reflecting on the experience, Harry revealed to Today that Perfect Match didn't provide the ideal setting for serious discussions about their future outside the show.

Off the bat, it probably wasn’t the best place to have those conversations," he said. "You know, after a few drinks, because I tend to talk a little bit too much. But yeah, we definitely had a lot of those conversations, and I feel like you kind of have to. I really respect that about her."

In her own interview with Today, Jess also mentioned the casual nature of Perfect Match but said she still took her and Harry's relationship seriously. She said she approached Perfect Match with "slightly less expectations, knowing the premise of the show was a little less serious."

"But I think, just naturally, I date very marriage-minded," she continued. "So as much as I tried to go into it thinking like, 'Oh, I probably won't find my husband here.' It's like the second I formed a connection I was like, 'OK, like, obviously, we're getting married.'"

Looking back at her time with Harry, Jess noted, "We had a lot of very serious, intimate conversations in private and on camera. I don't know how much was shown. But, yes, he was very well aware of my life and what my day-to-day routine was."

Perfect Match is now streaming on Netflix.
