Bartise Bowden was the talk of yet another “Love Is Blind” reunion, but this time for a good reason.
The reality TV star — who appeared on Season 3 of the Netflix series — revealed his 4-month-old son’s name while making a surprise appearance via video during Sunday night’s Season 4 finale.
“This is my son Hayden.” Bartise announced while holding his little one. “He’s also a massive fan of the ‘Love Is Blind’ franchise.”
Thankfully, the 27-year-old added that his son has “not watched daddy’s season and he will not ever watch daddy’s season, hopefully.”
The appearance comes less than two weeks after the Netflix star shocked “LIB” fans by announcing the arrival of his son.
“Might’ve been the villain on tv, but I’m gonna be the hero for him,” he captioned a carousel of snaps with his baby boy. “Instagram, meet my little man #bigfella.”

“We went from ‘Zaddy’ on screen to daddy in real life,” he later said in a video posted to his Instagram Story before kissing his son’s forehead.
Although Bowden didn’t reveal the identity of his son’s mother at the time, she was later identified as Olivia Gross in court documents obtained by Us Weekly.
Aside from her name and the fact that she lives in Texas, little is known about Gross, 25.
It’s also unclear whether or not Bowden and Gross are still together or what their custody agreement looks like.
Many fans were confused about the timeline of events, as Bowden appeared on two Netflix shows back to back around the time his son would have been conceived.
On “LIB,” which aired in October 2022, the senior analyst left the pods engaged to Nancy Rodriguez but abruptly ended things at the altar after admitting he wasn’t physically attracted to her.
Soon after, he went on the “Perfect Match,” which premiered in February, only to once again leave without a lasting love.
