Thank you for your reply. I am baffled by the issue.
I then deleted the theme. I went so far as to delete all of the files via FTP client to ensure the entire theme folder was deleted from the server. I then did a fresh install of the theme via wordpress (Where I searched for the theme in wordpress and had it download and install the files directly from wordpress.org. The issue persisted.
I created another test site on my network to check if the issue would also occur there. At first the issue did not occur there when using the theme and Jetpack. However once I connected Jetpack to wordpress.com the issue also began to occur.
