When "Love Is Blind" alum Bartise Bowden announced he's a father of a baby boy, he shocked everyone. The news came straight out of left field for anyone who has been following him, as people were confused how he could have fathered a child while doing back-to-back reality TV shows.
He shared his announcement on his Instagram page with a carousel of photos of the baby, but he didn't say who the mother is or share the baby's name. Now just a little over a week later, the internet has the answers they were seeking.
The Tea Has Been Spilled About Bartise Bowden's Baby Mama And His Son's Name!
Bowden, who was featured in season 3 of the Netflix reality show, made a surprise appearance via video during Sunday night's season 4 finale. While holding his son, he introduced him to the everyone watching.
"This is my son Hayden," he said. "He's also a massive fan of the 'Love Is Blind' franchise." He then added that his son has "not watched daddy's season and he will not ever watch daddy's season, hopefully."

He announced that he's a father on Instagram less than two weeks ago, which surprised many people who took to the comments to leave their thoughts and ask some questions. Many were confused about the timing since he was on two dating reality shows back-to-back, and others were curious who the mom could possibly be.
"The math ain't mathing. He did two shows back to back wouldn't that mean he left girl pregnant at home to go find someone else on a dating show?," one person asked.
The Baby's Mom Was Revealed By Internet Sleuths And Then Confirmed By Court Documents
When the news of Bowden being a dad dropped online, many internet sleuths started digging to find answers. Some claimed the "math wasn't mathing," meaning the timing of the baby's arrival and the taping of the reality shows, "Love Is Blind" and "Perfect Match" was odd. Others, who are clearly not a fan of the reality star "villain" just wanted to know who the baby's mom is to cure their own curiosity.
TikTokers rarely fail when they ban together and put their minds to work, and that's just what happened. In no time at all, many creators on the platform solved who the mom is and shared the news in videos. Everyone was pointing in the direction of TikToker Liv Jean.
If that wasn't enough for some, US Weekly obtained court documents that were filed by Bowden related to his baby with the baby's mom, Olivia Gross. According to Life & Style, the baby was born on December 27, 2022, which should clear up some of the timing confusion.
TikToker, Julie Louise, broke it down for anyone interested in all the spilled tea on the baby mama situation.
She captioned her reveal video, "@bartiseb is now a Dad and the mom has been revealed. Her name was revealed through an ‘open case’ he filed on Monday. Anyone know what that is?"
One person dropped into the comments to talk about what the open case could be referring to.
"An open case means there’s either an open case in court related drama or an open case with social services," they wrote. Another person added, "I think an open case has something to do with shared custody and child support."
Another person in the comments also did their own snooping and maybe helped to clear up the timing confusion. "From what I’ve seen, she didn’t know she was pregnant. Had a different man at the gender reveal," they wrote.
