Natalie Lee and Shayne Jensen didn’t get married at the end of “Love Is Blind” due to a massive fight they had off-screen the night before. Natalie told Entertainment Tonight that the fight was an “accumulation” of things. During the reunion, Shayne was upset that it was made to look like it was all his fault, urging Natalie to fess up to his side of things. Then, during the “After the Altar” special months later, Natalie accused Shayne of sending flirty messages to Shaina Hurley, putting more strain on their relationship.
Natalie Lee told People in September 2022 that Shayne’s flirty messages with Shaina were the main reason they didn’t get back together and broke up in the first place, which was particularly hard because Shaina was her “closest friend in the pods at the time of filming.” Natalie also claimed Shaina “encouraged him to come after” Natalie at the reunion. “I think that was a core piece that they left out of my story and the way I was telling it and how I was talking my truth at that time. Or the truth,” Natalie said about what aired. “And so yeah, that was a bit frustrating to see.”

With that said, Natalie told People that she wanted more of Shayne and Shaina’s messages (and their impact) shown, along with just how horrible it was to see a “former friend” say things behind your back.
