From the outside, MAFS star Jessika Power appears happy and confident.
But in a chat with New Idea, Jessika revealed the secret heartache she’s been trying to keep a secret, until now.
“My mother and I don’t speak,” the 26-year-old part-time model admits, adding her parent’s split when she was only a baby and she was forced to help raise her brothers and sisters when she was older.
She was a good mum when we were younger but as I grew up, I just drifted away from her.”
Speaking of the pair’s estranged relationship, Jessika says she hasn’t spoken to her mother for two years.
“It’s platonic,” she explains.
When asked what happened, Jessika doesn’t give too much away.
“There is a bit of a reason but I’ve told her I won’t disclose it to the public because I don’t want to come on the show and slander my mother.”
In another shock confession, the administration officer reveals she’s only recently reunited with her father.
“My biological father only come back into my life in the last seven years,” she says.
“He’s an amazing person. It’s changed my life having him back full time.”
