Love Is Blind’s Jessica Batten Spills on Drama With Ex Mark

Yet, apparently it doesn’t for some of Jessica’s other co-stars. Amber Pike apparently is still upset two years later about Jessica’s flirtatious interactions with Amber’s husband, Matt Barnett.

“It’s kind of like when you’re on Bumble and you think for a fleeting moment that you have something with someone, that’s kind of how I feel like the relationship was with her husband,” Jessica shared. “And two years later, I feel like several ships have sailed since then. It’s such water under the bridge for me so I was definitely shocked.” 

Amber and Barnett dubbed her “Voldemort” and opted to ignore Jessica during the After the Altar special, premiering today, July 28. “I’m the person that doesn’t exist and can’t be spoken of,” Jessica joked. “I want their marriage to work and if it’s with thinking that I don’t exist in this world, hey, that’s OK. It’s most important for me that they work out.” 

And yes, apparently “everyone is scared of Amber”—even her own husband.

“But I think he also has respect for her and I think they have a good thing going…but yeah, I think everyone is a little scared of Amber,” Jessica teased.
