Spilling the tea.
Bachelor Nation stars Rachel Recchia and Blake Moynes were recently spotted together at the Oceana SeaChange Summer Party with Nautica, sparking new dating rumors.
This isn’t the first time the pair has had fans wondering if they’re more than friends, and now followers are hoping the recent outing could be a hard launch of their relationship.
Rachel spoke on the “Almost Famous” podcast after the weekend to shed some light on where she and Blake stand. “I feel like we always address the rumor over and over again,” she said candidly. “We’re still not a couple. We’re friends.”
Ashley Iaconetti chimed in, saying that she can believe that they’re not a couple but doesn’t believe that they’ve never kissed before. Rachel laughingly added, “We literally haven’t, but… maybe we should.”
Reflecting on their relationship, Rachel also said, “We went to ‘Paradise’ together, we’ve been friends and have done trips for over a year. If it was meant to be, I think it would’ve happened.”

She explained that Blake is her most solid guy friend who she goes to for everything and isn’t sure who she would go to if they were to kiss and things turned awkward.
Ashley encouraged Rachel, saying that she and Blake look cute together and they should go for the kiss now “before it gets really awkward.” To her surprise, Rachel agreed and confirmed, “One day.”
While Rachel says she and Blake are only friends now, it seems like the door might still be open for something more to happen in the future.
