Welp, things between Blake Horstmann and Becca Kufrin are getting slightly more tense, with Blake responding to Becca’s denial that they were (romantically) chatting before Bachelor in Paradise.
To get you caught up real quick, Blake recently did a podcast interview claiming he and Becca had been talking about their relationship before she left for BiP. But Becca shot this down during a different podcast interview, saying “In terms of the talking, quote-unquote, yeah, I mean, we’ve been in touch very sporadically, but nothing that I would say would [indicate anything romantic]. I think it sounds very misleading. That conversation he had seemed very misleading.”
Flash-forward to now, and Blake is out here on yet another podcast (his Behind the Rose podcast, to be specific), saying the following, per Us Weekly:
“Listen, I was hurt by the podcast. … Like you said, it’s no secret that we were hanging out prior. I don’t think it was some secret — like, [it] wasn’t at all. More than anything, I was hurt by it […] I think the people — my friends — certainly know the truth. I think most of the people in Bachelor world know the truth, her friends sure as shit know the truth. So it’s like, it is what it is.”
Blake then gave Becca the benefit of the doubt:
“The one thing I’m gonna say is maybe Becca is protecting something or someone and for that I respect her. But it just sucks that, like, it happened the way it did. But that’s honestly — I’m just never gonna talk about her again. Because anytime I do, shit gets written in everything and it just gets everything blown up more so. Yeah, the fucking podcasts are — it really, really hurt. But it is what it is, moving on. At least I know now so I can move on.”
TBD on if Becca will offer some more thoughts on yet another podcast in the days to come!
