After “Almost famous” cohost Trista Sutter psupport that she will “always ship” the pair, Rachel, 28, admitted that people “always do that.”

Over the weekend, The Bachelorette star was seen supporting Moynes, 34, at the 17th Oceana Seachange Summer Party with Nautica in Laguna Beach, California. Despite walking the red carpet together, Recchia, 28, made it clear that nothing romantic is going (…)
“Blake says I have to stop doing that. It’s like, ‘That’s why you can’t find love,’” says Rachel. “(He’s like), ‘We need, like, a manly guy.’ I’m like, ‘I haven’t been looking for that so I’m trying to keep an open mind.'”
Rachel noted that she has been dipping her toes back in the dating pool, but had no updates to share about her love life at the moment. “When I can, I’ll let you know,” he said. “I’ve been dating a bit. There will be something to report, but not right now.”
In August, Rachel shut down speculation that she and Blake were more than friends after she was seen supporting him at the 17th Oceana Seachange Summer Party with Nautica in Laguna Beach, California.
“We went to an event together. Everyone wants us to be a couple so bad,” she said on an episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast at the time. “I feel like we’re always dealing with the rumor over and over again. We’re still not a couple. We’re friends.”
Former Falorette Rachel Recchia may be getting another shot at love. “This is crazy to get a second chance,” Rachel, 27, said in a Monday, August 21, first look at Bachelor in Paradise season 9, after sharing a passionate kiss with who appears to be Jordan Vandergriff. “I think things happen for a reason.” Rachel met (…)
Despite cohost Ashley Iaconetti noting that the duo “look really cute together,” Rachel said they hadn’t locked lips once. “He is my most steadfast friend. I go to him for everything,” he explained. “Who would I go to next if we had that weird kiss, and then things got awkward?”
After not finding The One on previous seasons of the franchise, Rachel and Blake were both contestants on season 9 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2023. The two decided to leave the show in week 4 when they did not find a romantic connection on the beaches of Mexico.
“We went to Paradise together. We’ve been friends and been on tours for over a year,” Rachel explained about their friendship. “If it was meant to be, I think it would have happened.”
Before the romance rumors with Blake, Rachel brought her and Gabby Windeyseason 19 of The Bachelorette engage to Tino Franco but the split twosome after it was revealed that he had kissed someone during a rough time in their relationship. Blake, for his part, was engaged to Katie Thurston in 2021 but they are broke up months later.
