Has reality star Bartise Bowden changed at all? His appearances on reality TV shows haven’t won him many fans. But it’s always possible he’s tried to improve his bad behavior.

Netflix subscribers first met him back on Love Is Blind Season 3. He and Nancy Rodriguez got engaged in the pods but split at the altar after Bartise said no. He then went on to appear in Perfect Match Season 1.

However, he wasn’t single for long. In the spring of 2023, Bartise publicly announced he welcomed a baby son.

It’s been a few years since Bartise Bowden entered the world of reality television. So have his experiences changed his bad boy behavior?

Did Bartise Bowden Leave His Playboy Lifestyle Behind?

Many Love Is Blind fans soured on Bartise Bowden after the way he treated Nancy during their brief engagement. But that was several years ago.

Is it possible Bartise is a different man now?

According to Reddit, it may be possible.

“Bartise ‘not the same guy’ according to new gf,” a Redditor shared online. “Bartise is now a full time father and apparently has changed him for the better according to his new girlfriend. I saw comments here where she’s defending him. It is hard from my personal perspective to not be inclined to agree that someone isn’t usually able to do a 180 like that and the shows he’s been on do not help to defend him. 3 years is not that long. What do you think?”

“Girl you really dating [Bartise]?” one comment reads in the screenshot.

“Yeah and he’s the most amazing man in the world who treats me like a queen and my kids absolutely adore him and he’s the most incredible father. Where you been,” Bartise’s alleged current girlfriend replies.

Redditors Share Their Opinions On The Post

Other Reddit users had a mixed bag of reactions to the post. A few pointed out it’s always possible Bartise received poor edits on his reality shows. Some discussed his son and how quickly raising a child can force a person to grow up. And others claimed Bartise was always terrible and would never change.

Comments included:

• “Remember this is a TV show and no matter if it’s reality it is still well edited and produced and they are playing a character of themselves.”
• “All I’m saying is a man at 25 and at almost 30 are not always the same man.. Also fatherhood will have shit feeling real REAL quick. So, yeah I can believe he has changed a lot!”
• “I think it’s rare for people to create lasting change without a lot of serious work, perhaps his child inspired him to actually put in that work. But the reality is we will never know.”
