While every cast member from Netflix's reality show Love Is Blind has become famous as a result of trying to search for love in the pods, Nancy Rodriguez has a real presence. She is one of the sweetest and bubbliest people to ever appear on the show. Her kind nature is what made Bartise Bowden's rejection at the altar so upsetting to watch. After that epic and awkward finale, all fans wanted was to hear that Nancy had found love, but for real this time.
The intelligent, fun, and friendly reality star has made a few changes in her life since Love Is Blind season 3. Here's what Nancy Rodriguez has done in the last few years, including whether she entered a new relationship after she and Bartise Bowden went their separate ways.
What Happened To Nancy Rodriguez After Love Is Blind Season 3?
Both Nancy Rodriguez and Bartise Bowden have moved on from their terrible time on Love Is Blind. In 2023, Bartise Bowden became a father, and Nancy continued to thrive in her real estate career.
While Nancy shared on Love Is Blind that she made money from real estate investments, she has experienced a big change in her life because of her reality TV stardom. She now has an Instagram account called FiNancy Talks by Nancy. Here, she shares advice with her 18,500 followers. Nancy seems to be doing really well in this field, and Love Is Blind fans would expect nothing less. From her scenes on the reality series, she always seemed to be smart and to have a good work ethic.
In March 2023, for example, Nancy shared a reel and wrote in the caption, "I chose a duplex over my dream home. Owning real estate can be liability or an asset. My favorite house hack! Live on one side; rent the other."
According to Business Insider, Nancy explained that she needed to pay off $100,000 in college debt. She also used to work in speech pathology. But everything changed when she explored her interest in real estate.
Nancy Rodriguez has experienced another big change in her life: she has a boyfriend now. In June 2023, People reported that Nancy posted that she was dating someone on her Instagram account. People noted that she didn't include the name of her boyfriend, but she did post a photo of them holding hands.
She posted flowers and wrote, “Best day in Boston… If he wants to, he will. Soft Gurl Summer… tell me what you’re doing to live your best SGS?”
Nancy hasn't said more about who she is dating. However, she did pin the post, which suggests that she is really happy and excited about this new development.
While Nancy hasn't shared how she met her boyfriend, it might have been on the dating app Chispa. A few months ago, she posted a video on Instagram where she promoted the app. She shared that she was ready to go on dates again and wrote, "My opinion is that first dates need to be planned by the guy and requires effort on his behalf." She then asked her followers, "What are some of your tips for going on a first date?"
When speaking to People Chica, Nancy explained that self-love is a huge part of the dating process. She said, "I think what is so important about dating, whether it's you're in a relationship now or you're single and you're looking for love, or maybe you're going through a breakup, whatever part of life that you're on, it is really important to know where you're at with yourself." She added that if people can feel good about who they are, then "dating is going to be easier."
Since Nancy was always known for being bubbly and fun on Love Is Blind, it's great to see her doing well again. It was heartbreaking to watch her process her emotions when Bartise Bowden turned her down on Love Is Blind.
What Does Nancy Rodriguez Think About Love Is Blind Today?
Watching the couples make their final decision is always one of the most awkward parts of Love Is Blind. Of course, given the premise of the show, this feels pretty inevitable. Sometimes it seems obvious who will get married and who never wants to see each other again. But sometimes, when one person says no, it totally shocks the other one.
Considering how difficult it was for Nancy Rodriguez to stand at the altar and hear Bartise Bowden say that they shouldn't get married, no one would blame her for having harsh feelings about the show. Nancy has stayed positive, though, and she sounds mature whenever she talks about what happened between her and her ex-fiance.
When talking about Love Is Blind with Cosmopolitan Middle East, Nancy said, "I learned the importance of setting boundaries." It sounds like she has found a way to look on the bright side of the experience.
Earlier in 2023, Nancy told E! News that she doesn't want to keep in touch with Bartise. She explained that she didn't feel good about maintaining any kind of relationship with him, which fans can definitely understand.
Nancy also looked back on the wild moment when Love Is Blind cast member Andrew Liu asked her to marry him. When she said no, he used eye drops so it looked like he was crying. Fans couldn't believe what they were seeing, and Nancy agreed that it was strange.
As Nancy explained to Newsweek, "So, I called it out, you know. I must have superpowers in the pod to be able to tell that something was off. When I saw that scene, it just really confirmed and validated that I made the right choice to say 'no' to someone who wasn't in this experiment and this experience for the real reasons."
When posting about her life today on Instagram, Nancy Rodriguez seems more joyful than ever before. It sounds like she got a lot out of Love Is Blind and feels good about what she's doing.
