In a shocking turn of events, Love Is Blind and Perfect Match star Bartis Bowden has finally opened up about the timing of the arrival of their adorable baby son, Hayden. The reality TV heartthrob best known for his infamous antics on Love Is Blind shocked fans when he announced his new fatherhood earlier this year.
In an interview on the Talk’R podcast, Bowden sets the record straight, revealing a web of romance, drama, and secrecy that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Love Is Blind, the Netflix sensation where contestants find love without seeing each other, catapulted Bowden into the limelight. But with newfound fame came controversy as he became the ultimate villain of the show, breaking hearts left and right. In a candid confession to Entertainment Tonight, Bowden admitted that he “messed up” on Love Is Blind, particularly in his relationship with former flame Nancy Rodriguez. Little did the world know that Bowden’s love life was about to take an even more unexpected turn.

Perfect Match, the reality series that brings together contestants from various Netflix shows in search of everlasting love, seemed like the perfect opportunity for Bowden to redeem herself. But as luck would have it, between the filming of Love Is Blind and Perfect Match, a whole other relationship unfolded in Boden’s life, unbeknownst to fans and fellow cast members.
During his fascinating interview on Talk’R, Bowden revealed, “I did Love Is Blind, I did Perfect Match, I had a son, and all this timeline, how it plays out on camera, doesn’t matter. Meaning.” While Love Is Blind premieres in October 2022 and Perfect Match in February 2023, it was during the hiatus between the shows that Bowden began a whirlwind romance that would change their lives forever.
Going into details, Bowden admitted, “I filmed Love Is Blind, I had a whole relationship between Love Is Blind and Perfect Match, filmed Perfect Match, came back, conceived a son.” The crafty reality star strategically timed her baby announcement, knowing that if she revealed the news before Perfect Match aired, it would leave everyone completely heartbroken. The anticipation surrounding the paternity mystery and the identity of Hayden’s mother reached a fever pitch.
But here’s the twist: There is no romantic relationship between Bowden and the child’s mother. They’ve chosen to navigate their new parents as friends, creating an unconventional yet harmonious dynamic. Bowden emphasized their close bond, saying, “I hang out with my son alone, I hang out with his mom alone, the three of us hang out together, I hang out with his family. We’re very involved.” ” Together and apart, which is beautiful, and I wouldn’t want it any other way given our circumstances.”
As the podcast interview ended, Bowden expressed his gratitude for becoming a father, describing it as a “blessing”. The rollercoaster of love, deceit and unexpected parenthood has changed this reality TV star’s life in unimaginable ways, leaving fans and followers eagerly awaiting the next chapter of Bartis Bowden’s enchanting journey.
