Another reason why Kwame avoided seeing/meeting Jess was that he believed that he looked better in real life and wouldn’t want to disappoint her before they met in person.
However, as much as Jess had doubts about him, she also know that Kwame was the perfect man for her. A family man who always lived with his parents, Kwame was undoubtedly the perfect match for the single mom. In fact, Jess shared that she knew Kwame before she got pregnant. But Kwame is unfazed a little by this revelation.
Letting her followers in on the secret, Jess took it to her IG on March 12, 2022, to write, “THE SECRET IS FINALLY OUT. I’m so excited for being part of #loveintheflesh on @bbcthreeHosted by @zara_mcdermott.”
Also, a day before the Love In The Flesh’s premiere on March 25, she promoted the show over IG captioned, “WHO IS READY FOR TOMORROW NIGHT.”
