‘BIP’ Alum Blake Moynes Considered for ‘The Bachelor’ 2025?

Bachelor in Paradise alum Blake Moynes first captured the hearts of fans during Clare Crawley’s season of The Bachelorette. When Clare left, Blake stayed on for Tayshia Adams’ season. His journey continued onto Katie Thurston’s season, where he got engaged, although the engagement didn’t last. He also appeared on Bachelor in Paradise, but self-eliminated after failing to find love there as well. Recently, rumors have surfaced that Blake was in talks to be the 2025 lead on The Bachelor, and Rachel Recchia may have just confirmed these speculations.

Every season when discussions about new leads for The Bachelor arise, Blake Moynes’ name comes up. Fans want Blake to find love, citing his maturity and readiness for a lasting relationship. Despite these high hopes, Blake has not yet found “The One” on the show.

Speculations have been ongoing for months about Blake potentially being in a relationship with former Bachelorette Rachel Recchia. However, Rachel has repeatedly stated that they are just friends. During a recent appearance on the Almost Famous podcast, she told Ashley Iaconetti that if there were any romantic potential between her and Blake, it would have already happened by now.

In the same podcast, Rachel and Ashley discussed Grant Ellis being named The Bachelor for the 2025 season. Rachel mentioned she initially thought the role would go to Blake, revealing that producers usually consider multiple options for the lead. Both women noted that it would be interesting to see all the wildlife-themed dates Blake would likely incorporate, given that he is a wildlife manager frequently engaged in conservation trips.

Rachel even joined Blake on one of his trips to tag sea turtles in Florida, indicating their close friendship and mutual interests. Thus far, Blake has not commented on whether he was indeed one of the finalists for the upcoming Bachelor season.

Beyond his reality TV endeavors, Blake recently opened up about a harrowing experience he had in June. He experienced a shallow water blackout while shark diving, which nearly cost him his life. Blake shared that he had dived too deep and struggled to reach the surface in time. Fortunately, he emerged from the situation safely, although it was a genuinely frightening experience.

Blake’s fans continue to root for him, hoping he finds the love he seeks. The idea of him becoming The Bachelor remains a popular topic, although Grant Ellis appears to have secured the role for 2025. For now, Blake remains focused on his wildlife conservation efforts and personal adventures.
