Former bachelor Rachel Recchia crushes romance rumors between her and Blake Moynes — again.
After “Almost Famous” cohost Trista Sutter MrRachel, 28, admitted people do it “all the time”.
“He’s like one of my best friends,” Rachel said on the Saturday, Dec. 21 episode of the podcast. “We are so different. We have such different types.”
Rachel explained that Blake, 34, has a “broader range” of types, while she prefers “an era of more feminine guys”.
“Blake says I have to stop doing this. He says, ‘This is why you can’t get a boyfriend,'” Rachel said. “(He’s like), ‘You need like a manly guy.’ I’m like, ‘That’s not what I was looking for, so I’m trying to keep an open mind.'”
Rachel noticed that she had dipped her toe back into the dating site, but at the moment she had no updates to share about her love life. “I’ll let you know when I can,” she said. “I walked around a bit. There will be more to report, but not at the moment.”
In August, Rachel put to rest speculation that she and Blake were more than friends after she was spotted supporting him at Oceana Seachange’s 17th Annual Summer Party with Nautica in Laguna Beach, California.
“We went to an event together. Everyone wants us to be such a bad couple,” she said in an episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast at the time. “I feel like we’re always dealing with that rumor over and over again. We’re still not a couple. We are friends.”
Despite the cohost Ashley Iaconetti noting that the duo “look really cute together,” Rachel said they never locked lips once. “He is my most reliable friend. I go to him for everything,” she explained. “Then who would I go to if we had that weird kiss and then it was awkward?”
After he didn’t find The One in previous seasons of the franchise, Rachel and Blake were both contestants in season 9 Bachelor in Paradise in 2023. The pair decided to leave the show in week 4 when they failed to find a romantic connection on the beaches of Mexico.
“We went to paradise together.” We’re friends and we go on trips over the year,” Rachel explained of their friendship. “If it was meant to be, I think it would have happened.
