Her new boyfriend Jaylan Mobley made his debut appearance on the show and has Messer gushing. On Jan 25. episode, she dished a bit on their romance. With some baggage from her past relationships, the reality star admits that she’s needed some help with trusting again.

“We have a life coach here and I’m trying not to be as guarded,” she told Mobley during a FaceTime call. “I’m trying to accept your kindness. I need to let the walls come down and I’m scared to let the walls come down.”

Mobley tried to assure her that he’s in this for the long haul. “I’m not planning to do this temporarily. I haven’t been in a relationship in a minute so I’m not just doing this s— for fun. I plan on being here for a long time,” he said. After speaking with Dr. Cheyenne Bryant who is the resident coach for the cast, Messer invited him to join her on the trip.

She says Mobley is the right one for her. “He’s like absolutely perfect. I’m not going to lie,” she added. “He’s just every quality that I wanted in someone. The way that he is with my kids, I don’t know if there’s ever going to be another because he’s just great.”
