SAYULITA, MEXICO: 'Bachelor Nation' star Jess Girod, who is currently single, made an effort to seek love with Blake Moynes after coupling up.

Regrettably, their attempt proved unsuccessful, leading Jess to break down in tears when Blake chose to give her some space.

Meanwhile, in the latest episode of 'Bachelor In Paradise' Season 9, during a truth and dare game, Jess opted for a truth and Aaron B asked her, "Is it true that Blake is your No. 1 right now?"

However, Jess hesitated before saying, "He's the only person I have a connection with so, yes."

Blake believed that the answer necessitated a crucial conversation about the status of his relationship with Jess. When the game concluded, they engaged in a discussion that ignited an emotional exchange.

Jess appears to be somewhat uncertain about her feelings for Blake, while he expressed a desire to provide her with more room to explore other connections in paradise.

Jess had previously expressed interest in Tanner Courtad, but he invited Kat Izzo on his date instead after speaking with both of them when he arrived on the beach.
