Jessica stated that she isn’t in search of the perfect “cookie-cutter man”, but a man who doesn’t take himself seriously, and someone who can make her laugh.
In 2014 she was spotted with her co-star Luke Arnold at various destinations in Vancouver, where the series “Black Sails” was shot. Luke taught her how to surf, and Jessica showed him how to snowboard. Even though at first they said that they are friends, there were people saying that they had become romantically involved. However, Jessica and her management team have denied any and all dating rumors, while Luke insists that he is single.

1 | [on her role in Black Sails (2014)] I'm not technically on the pirate ships. I do a lot of wheeling and dealing from the brothel. But I'm not in the brothel all the time, either. I'm around and about. But I have this fantasy that I'm going to turn into this really badass pirate, living on the ship and killing really smarmy men. |
2 | I used to think being a pirate was a really, cool, sexy thing. It's not. It's terrifying. It's a really horrifying, filthy, scary world where people died from simple things. When a cannon goes off, the splinter from the wood gets in their eyes and they get an infection. Or they don't have enough to eat. Or they get scurvy. It's a terrifying way to survive. |
