20 Questions with Blake Moynes: Find Out His Relationship Advice, Plus: Where He Sees Himself in 5 Years
Bachelor Nation fans first met Blake Moynes on Season 16 of “The Bachelorette,” where he looked for love with both Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams.
Then, Blake made a surprise return to Season 17 of “The Bachelorette,” where he found love and got engaged to Katie Thurston.
Sadly, last month Katie and Blake shared they were ending their engagement and going their separate ways.
Last week, he stopped by the “Talking It Out with Bachelor Nation” podcast and revealed where he and Katie stand.
Blake said, “We’re very cordial now. If I’ve been in love with somebody and had that kind of passion, they know some things about you better than anyone else, even your own family sometimes. You only live one life and you don’t come across that many people in a lifetime that know you like that and have loved you like that.”
But outside his time on “The Bachelorette,” there’s still so much to learn about Blake.
Here, he opens up exclusively to BachelorNation.com, answering 20 rapid-fire questions.
