‘Love Is Blind’ star Natalie Lee travels with ‘Bachelorette’ alum Blake Moynes
“Love Is Blind” star Natalie Lee and “Bachelorette” alum Blake Moynes sparked dating rumors this week after they took a trip to the Caribbean together.
However, an insider tells Page Six that their relationship is just “platonic.”
“This was the first time Blake and Natalie met. [Blake] thinks she’s great,” the source tells us. “Right now things are completely platonic but you never know what the future holds!”
The unlikely duo teamed up to help rescue a 120-pound sea turtle while working with the Sea Turtle Conservatory at the Four Seasons Resort in Nevis this week.
While there, the pair also seemed to enjoy some one-on-one time together.
Moynes, who has a career as a wildlife manager, at one point posted a photo of Lee enjoying a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon and fruit to his Instagram Story.
“Breakfast date,” he wrote over the snap in part.
The reality star, 31, also jokingly added, “She LOVES sea turtles and wants to be a turtle barnacle in another life.”
In another photo with Lee, Moynes wrote, “My favorite part of this trip was the meaningful conversations we had during our breaks.”
Lee, 22, also hinted that they could be more than just friends when she posted a photo of herself all dressed up in a sexy brown body-con dress while holding a glass of wine.
“The perfect (date night) dress 😉,” she captioned the Instagram pic.
The Netflix star also shared a selfie with Moynes on her Instagram Story, writing, “The crossover nobody asked for @blakemoynes.”
She later posted a photo of the pair smiling at dinner on the beach. Lee was barefoot and rocked an orange slip dress while Moynes wore white sneakers, shorts and a green button-down shirt.
An insider told Page Six that Moynes often brings celebrities on wildlife conservation trips to “help raise awareness” for the different causes he cares about.
“He’s trying to take advantage of the platform he’s been given to make a difference for endangered species and doing whatever he can to help,” the source added.
Both Moynes and Lee were previously engaged.
Moynes proposed to “Bachelorette” star Katie Thurston on the 17th season of the show.
They announced their breakup in October 2021.
“We are so grateful for the moments we shared together and the entire journey that has unfolded this year, but we ultimately have concluded that we are not compatible as life partners,” he and Thurston said in a joint statement at the time.
“It is the most caring choice for both of us to move forward independently. We ask for kindness and privacy as we both navigate this transition.”
Meanwhile, Lee was engaged to Shayne Janson after he proposed to her – sight unseen – in the “Love Is Blind” pods. She ultimately said “I don’t” to him at the altar on their wedding day following an argument days prior.
