Season 3 Zanab Jaffrey, for her part, replied: “Period. KEEP THIS FOR YOU ❤️.”

Rodriguez first appeared on the Dallas-set season of Love is blindwhich aired in October 2022 where she has direct connections to Bowden and Andrew Liu within the pods. She eventually turned down the 31-year-old wildlife photographer’s proposal, saying “yes” to Bowden’s question. (The Perfect match alum, for his part, was similarly involved in a pod love triangle with Rodriguez and Raven Ross.)

Bowden eventually turned down Rodriguez during their wedding in the Season 3 finale, but the pair remained friends throughout filming After the Altar. They have since ceased communication.

“I think I realized there were just too many attempts by him to be a good friend over the course of the year that didn’t line up with what a good friend is,” she shared exclusively. Us weekly in February, claiming that Bowden barely spoke to her at a party she hosted and invited him to. ‘Do I miss being his friend? No, I don’t think I do because I’ve had so many other positive experiences with myself and other people that you kind of have to start up what didn’t work and work on the things that work for me.”

Rodriguez also teased Us at the time she had started dating again after the split, but she wanted to make it more “intentional.”

“I joined the Chispa [dating] app because it’s based on finding singles and bringing us together if we have similar cultural backgrounds,” she revealed. “That is something that is so powerful [because] I like my culture… so the fact that I can identify with someone [and] date someone who gets it [appeals to me].”

Bowden, for his part, announced in April that he had welcomed his first child, son Hayden, with the now-ex Olivia Gross.
