So far, Jessica Parker Kennedy has had no husband or boyfriend, but she is currently looking for a love interest. She has even spoken about her ideal type of partner as well,
“I’m usually attracted to more interesting types of men. I have no desire to be with a cookie-cutter Ken doll…I like when a man has a positive self-image, no matter what he looks like. I’m not into rock-hard abs…I love when a man doesn’t take himself too seriously. He has to have a sense of humor.”
