Natalie Lee: Her Journey from Love is Blind to a New Beginning

Natalie Lee's Love is Blind Journey

Natalie Lee became a household name after featuring in season 2 of Love is Blind. She is best known for her engagement to Shayne Jansen, her ex-fiance, with whom she had a tumultuous relationship before calling things off at the altar. The Chicago native admitted to having had an on-and-off relationship with Shayne after the show. Earlier this year, Natalie opened up about her ideal man in Out of the Pods, a podcast she hosts with Deepti Vempati, a former Love is Blind co-star. In her own words, Natalie described her perfect man as being 'someone quiet and private.' Natalie called off her wedding to Shayne Jansen after he stated he hated her during a heated argument. Since her split from Shayne, Natalie has tried to keep her love life private but has been linked to other love interests.

Natalie and Shayne were a compatible couple at first, seeming like a match made in heaven. Although there were a few bumps, these stars seemed like one of the strongest couples who had the potential to say their vows and live happily ever after. The two connected instantly while in the pods, and there was no doubt that they would both say yes at the altar. However, it did not take long before the cracks showed in their relationship, which led to them breaking up on their wedding day. Natalie and Shayne gave their relationship another chance after wrapping up the show, but it didn't work out.

Natalie Lee's Dating Life After Love is Blind

During an Out of the Pods episode in July, Natalie revealed that she dated another reality star after her split with Shayne. Although she refused to reveal the star's name, it did not take long before the Love is Blind audience started speculating who the person was. The Love is Blind's star took a romantic trip with Bachelorette star Blake Moynes. The two shared several pictures of each other during the trip, which featured videos of them laughing at beach parties and breakfast dates. Just like Natalie, Blake left the Bachelorette show engaged but later called off the engagement. In the past, Blake has been vocal about dating someone from the reality TV world since they would understand more due to shared common experiences. However, Natalie was quick to shut down the rumors. She stated that she and Blake Moynes were just friends who had visited the island for a conservation project.
