Jessica Batten revealed that she eloped with her now-husband Benjamin McGrath in Santa Barbara this past August during an interview with Brides on Friday.

The 38-year-old reality television personality and her husband, 36, held an intimate wedding ceremony that took place at the Santa Barbara courthouse, with only two other couples in attendance.

The media figure previously received attention for leaving her former partner Mark Cuevas at the altar during the production of Love Is Blind's first season.

Batten and McGrath spoke to the outlet and expressed that they decided that  it would be a better decision to elope from a logistical standpoint.

'Considering the timing we are looking for in terms of family planning, we came to the conclusion that we would elope in 2022 and make big plans for a celebration down the road,' they said.

The happy couple then expressed that their wedding ceremony went off without a hitch. 

'We had everything completely wrapped up and the wedding planners were so dialed in that we were solely focused on our special day. We felt very present and relaxed, truly able to enjoy each moment,' they stated.
