Jessika Power has addressed fans’ questions about ending her romance her new boyfriend Ryan Loveridge just weeks after going Instagram official.
In a series of ‘Ask Me Anything’ responses posted to her Instagram Stories on Monday, the MAFS contestant-turned-OnlyFans-model confirmed that her black eye had nothing to do with her ex.
‘I know I am going to get a lot of questions about my black eye. Remember that legally, I can’t speak about a lot of it. So let’s keep those to a minimum,’ she prefaced the Q&A session.
‘What can you say about your black eye?’ one fan asked Jessika on Monday.
‘I can say I got one,’ she answered.
‘It was pretty bad. It’s hidden under this filter … you can still slightly see it,’ Jessika added in another clip, pointing to a faint bruise under her eye.
‘It wasn’t from my housemate, it wasn’t from Ryan. It was from somebody else.
‘Bloody black eyes and s**t. And I’m really hurt. That’s all I can say.’
Another fan asked Jessika if she and Ryan are now back together, after spotting him on her Stories over the weekend.
‘No we are not back together, but we are the closest of close,’ Jessika said.
Expanding on their relationship status now, Jessika said that she ‘has nothing bad to say about Ryan.’
‘He’s a really good guy. We just didn’t work and that’s all it was at the time. We both knew why [we broke up], but that is something that will remain between us,’ she said.
‘We’re not back together. He was on my Stories on the weekend because we were at a family birthday party together.
‘He was invited and I was very happy to see him. I was very happy to see his daughter, just like I’d be happy to see them again.
‘I think we need to normalise that sometimes relationships don’t work and you can still be friends with that person because you have respect for them.’
The 33-year-old shared an image of her bruised face to Instagram two weeks ago after returning online to explain why she had been ‘MIA’ from social media.
‘Let’s just say, I had an altercation with somebody who is a d***head,’ she said.
‘I haven’t been on social media for the last couple of days for obvious reasons,’ Jessika added, pointing to her face without further explanation.
Jessika announced the end of her romance with Ryan Loveridge earlier this month.
The Gold Coast man appeared on Celebs Go Dating in 2018 and went on a date with Sugababes star Mutya Buena.
He had been dating MAFS star Jessika since the beginning of the year, but announced their split in early March.
Last month, the former Married At First Sight bride explained via her Instagram Stories that the pair had gone their separate ways, after his text messages to another woman were leaked.
The ex-reality star said that the pair were on a break from their relationship when the messages were sent and that no infidelity occurred.
Jessika rose to fame on season six of Married At First Sight and she was married to Mick Gould.
She was involved in one of the most controversial scandals of the season after she had an affair with another groom Dan Webb.
She has also appeared on Big Brother VIP and Celebs Go Dating.
