Love Is Blind's Jessica Batten claims Mark Cuevas slept with another woman during filming

Love is Blind star Jessica Batten has claimed her former fiancé Mark Cuevas was unfaithful during filming.

The pair, who agreed to get engaged without even seeing what each other looked like, had a rough time on the Netflix show as despite their emotional connection in the pods, Jessica decided to walk out on Mark on their wedding day – leaving him at the altar alone.

While Jessica, 36, was often painted to be the ‘villain’ of the show - in part due to her flirtations with Matt Barnett, her fixation on her and Mark’s age gap, and feeding her dog wine - she has since revealed that there may be more to her relationship with Mark, 26, than what we previously thought.

Earlier this week, Mark hit the headlines when it was revealed he’d started dating Love is Blind co-star Lauren ‘LC’ Chamblin (who was caught in a love triangle with Barnett and Amber Pike) – only for LC to call off the romance after pictures of the personal trainer and another woman emerged online.

Mark has been left in hot water following claims from former fiancee Jess

In an Instagram post by news outlet E! News referring to LC’s claims, a Love is Blind fan alleged: “Mark was sleeping with MULTIPLE women at the studio he trained at DURING the show. Maybe show those interviews with his workers next time Netflix.”

Jessica responded: “Wow. News to me, I only know about one.”

Further stirring the pot, Jessica then uploaded a picture of herself in a blue bikini, which she simply captioned with a tea emoji.

Evening Standard has contacted Netflix for comment.

Jessica’s comments come after LC found pictures of Mark with a blonde-haired woman on Reddit.

JustJared states a fan posted a now-deleted Facebook screenshot showing the star with a mystery blonde woman, titled: "My close friend’s co-worker is dating Mark!!"

"This is awkward because I live in Atlanta and I’ve been dating Mark since the beginning of May…. Oh and btw, this is LC from Love is Blind," she commented on the post. "Feel free to DM me on Instagram if you would like more information!

"But I definitely just broke it off with Mark so I really do appreciate you posting this and saving me the energy on dating another liar."

However, Mark has since claimed himself and LC were never in an official relationship.

“I enjoyed spending time with LC for a few weeks, but at no point were we in an exclusive relationship, as LC confirmed herself,” he told E! News. “I wish her the absolute best.”
