Love Is Blind's Nancy Rodriguez Drops Jaw-Dropping New Boyfriend's Photo Post Bartise Bowden Split: Unveiling the Surprising Romance!

Nancy Rodriguez is no longer involved with her former fiancé from Love Is Blind, Bartise Bowden. On Friday, June 23, the 33-year-old speech pathologist expressed her happiness about her trip to Boston, stating that it was the best day. She shared a collection of photos on Instagram and mentioned her intention to have a "soft gurl summer," referring to the online trend of embracing a sentimental and sweet season.

Rodriguez was seen reclining on a bed as her unidentified companion presented her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a captivating photograph. Another image captured the couple affectionately holding hands while seated on a bench in Boston. The real estate investor, who had been unattached since parting ways with Bowden, 27, remained discreet about the identity of her current romantic interest. Natalie Lee, a participant from the second season of "Love Is Blind," expressed her joy and offered her congratulations with the comment, "I love a good soft launch. So happy for you!!"

Season 3’s Zanab Jaffrey, for her part, replied: “Periodt. LOVE THIS FOR YOU ️.”

Rodriguez made her first appearance on the Dallas-based season of Love Is Blind in October 2022. During her time on the show, she formed immediate connections with both Bowden and Andrew Liu while communicating through the pods. Despite the initial connection with the 31-year-old wildlife photographer, Rodriguez declined his proposal and instead accepted Bowden’s proposal. (Previously, Bowden had been involved in a love triangle with Rodriguez and Raven Ross on the reality show The Perfect Match.)

Unfortunately, Rodriguez and Bowden's relationship did not last, as Bowden ultimately rejected her during their wedding in the season 3 finale. However, the two remained friends during the filming of After the Altar. Since then, they have completely stopped communicating with each other.

"I came to the realization that as the year progressed, there were numerous instances where he attempted to act as a good friend, but they did not align with the qualities of a true friend," she revealed exclusively to We in February. She claimed that at a party she hosted and invited him to, Bowden barely spoke to her. "Do I miss being his friend? No, I don't believe I do. I have had many more positive experiences with myself and others, and it is necessary to let go of what didn't work and focus on what is working for me."

During the same conversation with Us, Rodriguez hinted that she had started dating again after the breakup, but wanted to approach it in a more deliberate manner.

"I became a member of the Chispa dating app because it focuses on connecting singles who share similar cultural backgrounds," she disclosed. "This aspect holds tremendous significance to me as I deeply cherish my culture. Being able to connect with and date someone who understands and embraces it is incredibly appealing to me."

Meanwhile, Bowden shared in April that he had recently become a father to his first child, a son named Hayden, with his former partner Olivia Gross.
