‘The Bachelorette’ Star Rachel Recchia Addresses Blake Moynes Dating Rumors
Are they, or aren’t they? Well, if it were up to The Bachelorette star Trista Sutter, Rachel Recchia and Blake Moynes would be together.
On the Almost Famous podcast, Sutter admitted that she will “always ship” Recchia and Moynes, and Recchia admitted that people “always do.” So, what’s the relationship status with Recchia and Moynes? Has their friendship evolved into a romance?
“He is like one of my best friends,” Recchia said. “We are so different. We have such different types.”
She explained that Moynes has a “wider range” of a type, while she’s more specific about what she wants. The former Bachelorette revealed she prefers a “more feminine guy,” which Moynes had an opinion about.
“Blake says I have to stop doing that,” Recchia said. “He’s like, ‘That’s why you can’t find a boyfriend. [He’s like], ‘You need, like, a manly guy.’ I’m like, ‘I have not been looking for that so I’m trying to keep an open mind.'”
The Season 29 co-lead is currently dating, but she didn’t have a significant other update to share. “When I can, I will let you know,” she dished. “I have been dating a little. There will be something to report, but not currently.”
Romance rumors about Recchia and Moynes possibly being something more first sparked back in August when she showed her support for the Bachelor Nation alum at the 17th annual Oceana Seachange Summer Party with Nautica in California.
“We went to an event together. Everyone wants us to be a couple so bad,” she said on a previous episode of the Almost Famous podcast. “I feel like we always address the rumor over and over again. We’re still not a couple. We’re friends.”
Recchia and Moynes are strictly in friend territory. They’ve never even kissed. “He’s my most solid guy friend. I go to him for everything. Who would I go to then if we had that weird kiss, and then things got awkward?” she admitted.
Recchia and Moynes, who was previously engaged to The Bachelorette lead Katie Thurston, joined the cast of Bachelor in Paradise Season 9. They left the show when they couldn’t find a lasting love connection. For Recchia, if she was supposed to be with Moynes, it would have happened by now.
“We went to Paradise together. We’ve been friends and have done trips for over a year,” Recchia noted about their friendship. “If it was meant to be, I think it would have happened.”
Do you think these two would make a good Bachelor Nation couple? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
