The mother-of-two, 36, appeared to tease a new romance on Valentine's Day by taking to Instagram Stories with a photo of a box of chocolates and a rose.
Followers immediately wondered whether the romantic favours were gifts from a special someone, although Jess hasn't shared any details of any new love interests.
The granddaughter of the late poultry producer and racehorse owner Jack Ingham also uploaded a photo of herself dressed in a Valentine's Day-inspired ensemble (featuring a top with a love-heart cut-out and a red handbag) - perhaps ahead of a date night.
Her $40,000 wedding ring was, notably, nowhere in sight.

Whispers of a rift between Jess and Roger began swirling after the mother-of-two didn't post about her husband on Father's Day last year.
Two sources later confirmed to the Daily Mail that the pair had 'amicably separated'.
Jess has since wiped almost all traces of her ex from social media.
The split brought down the curtain on another headline-making romance for Jess, whose love life has long fascinated Sydney's social set.
The pair wed in typically extravagant fashion in 2021, after four years of dating.

The bride and her daughter wore matching Vera Wang gowns for the ceremony at The Mint on Macquarie Street, which was followed by a champagne-fuelled dinner party at Merivale's Establishment.
Roger had proposed at Jess's waterfront penthouse surrounded by 1,200 red Ecuadorian roses, a glowing 'Marry Me' sign, and heart-shaped balloons.

It was the second trip down the aisle for Jess, whose first marriage to Alex Macris - with whom she shares an eight-year-old daughter - was even more lavish.
That 2013 Great Gatsby-themed wedding reportedly cost more than $500,000 and featured a heavily fortified marquee on Bennelong Lawn, near the Opera House, complete with 45 crystal chandeliers and a fireworks display over Sydney Harbour.
