Did they or didn’t they? After Shayne chose to propose to Natalie Lee in season two, Shaina still made her feelings for him known. And after Shayne and Natalie didn’t get married in the finale, they tried to give their relationship another shot off-camera. But Natalie revealed during Love Is Blind After the Altar that she discovered “flirtatious messages” between her boyfriend and Shaina about “what would have happened if they ended up together.” The direct messages lead to the (second) demise of their romance, with Natalie explaining, “That’s why we’re not together anymore.”
On After the Altar, Shaina insisted that it was “slander,” telling Shayne, “We’ve always been appropriate. We’ve never hung out alone.” (They, at the time, they were indeed hanging out alone.)
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Natalie suggested “a lot more” of Shayne and Shaina’s correspondences were left “on the cutting room floor.”
“I understand, in terms of how much you can really show in these three 45-minute-long episodes,” she said, “but what I do have is, again, text messages and emails with Shayne, talking about him unsending Instagram messages, deleting messages, and those DMs with Shaina, so that’s something that I talked about that didn’t make the cut, that I think kind of would have helped with the story.”
