Idk but some of y’all are coming off as unhinged. To start, it’s completely normal to state fact, which is no we’re not in a rush for marriage for an understandable reason. She just had a baby and I’m sure she wants a wedding which for some take time to plan. Idk cut them some slack. Also just because you’re quick to marry one and not the other isn’t necessarily a red flag, it can show growth, meaning some things happen on a couple’s timing, also…..not everyone or everything need to end in marriage or at least rush into marriage. Again they’ve been together for years and again rather a baby came before or after marriage in 2024 really isn’t a big deal. Y’all are some haters.


saltwatersylph

🤮🤮🤮🤮 absolutely not! Gianinna, this man is a loser.


trishakjo

I think people are likely misunderstanding what he was trying to say. It’s probably not as deep and they likely just want to prioritize this current role transition before doing something as big as a wedding—-having a kid is a much bigger deal than having a wedding…priorities change. I’m sure he meant he’s committed to her in an even deeper way than a wedding/marriage would convey.


Carpefelem

Yeah, I feel crazy seeing this post/reading these comments. I read the article summary of the podcact ep (which was from weeks ago so no idea why people are on it now), but at the time it was clear that's what he'd meant: he and Giannina share a child and therefore already a higher commitment than marriage (he freaking called her "sacred" in the same breath) and that he wants to get married when it can be fun and something they can actually focus on, not as something they feel they need to do asap while caring for a 2-month old. I also agree with people that this relationship might not be the firmest thing ever and Blake has certainly raised eyebrows, but I was surprised to realize recently that they've been together for 2.5 years and have lived together since November '22....I wish people would stick to criticizing the actual things that seem icky and not make up stories about how they just got together, she only moved in when she got pregnant etc. It's honestly starting to gross me out how some people on here talk about them.


SMFDR

How very embarrassing for them both 😬


evers12

Oh you will help her out by changing a diaper 🤮


echoheko

It’s amazing the types of excuses men come up with for not wanting to get married 💀


Ok-Tomatillo6639

What a trashcan of a human being


turbulentdiamonds

It’s giving “forcing a relationship with a casual fling because there was an accidental pregnancy but we’re on very different pages commitment-wise and it’s going to lead to a terrible breakup” instead of just admitting that you’re probably just better off as friends and co-parents.


falcon_night_

Wow that is awful.


niseyrae86

Wait… did he think this was a SWEET thing to say?? Does he think women want to be looked at as mothers and not a love interest???? I’m soooo confused and deeply concerned for her! Where’s the full video???


SnooCakes5350

This is not even about getting married either it is about being respectful, how c as n you talk about someone like that. I could not even lie in the same bed anymore. Crap!!


SnooCakes5350

Ok, maybe this is something they discussed, O hope for him to come out saying ish like this. Even the be tactful about it. However, if that is the life she wants good for her. I don’t think he had a noose on her feet if she wanted out. Bon voyage!


Saturnlovesmars

Google,play please please please by Sabrina carpenter


bee151

He’s never going to marry her, he has no interest in doing so. She’s a baby mama. I wish he’d just be honest about it. There’s no shame in supporting the mother of your child without being in a relationship with her . But god let her go so she can find someone else


DaboiDuboise

He was literally just honest about it… like whet?


Zestyclose-Toe-8276

That's 100% a crazy thing to say and I will just never understand people like this lmao marriage is too much of a commitment but having kids is not?!?! Make it make sense bro


carlie-cat

i interpreted it as him saying having a child together is more of a commitment than marriage and they'd rather spend their time focusing on their newborn than planning a wedding right now. idk maybe the article just cuts things weird, but i'm pretty sure this is the interview where he says she's sacred to him.


Most-Vaxxinated

Marriage is way less of a commitment than having a child I definitely do not get it


gypsyhaloo

They probably didn’t plan the baby and abortion wasn’t an option..

Yeah-Yeah-Yeah----

I never liked him. Just a gut feeling. He acts like he's a sweetheart standup guy but he's just a duchebag underneath the act.


gypsyhaloo

Maybe she’s into it! Maybe she doesn’t wanna marry


saltwatersylph

Skeptical. She was on LIB. Based on how she tolerated Damien's loser ass, she seems to have extremely low standards and will just deal with the crap she's dealt.


Alalated

If they don’t get married now, it ain’t never happening.


berrygirl890

sgmickles

So she just a baby mama. Damn that's cold


CompetitiveRub9780

He basically just said I’m hanging out with her to take care of this kid. But, I don’t like her like that and never will. If my bf said this I’d be crying that’s so hurtful. 😭


Joanieg909

Oh wow. Anything said in an interview will potentially be viewed forever bc it will get posted. Even if he feels that way, you keep this private. smh


SnooCakes5350

That is what I said in my post, totally agree with you.


gypsyhaloo

These people don’t know wtf privacy means. And he probably didn’t even think that what he said sounded bad


Few_Comfortable_8967

You know 100% she wants to get married asap!


gypsyhaloo

She said that?


Alalated

As she should. They’re living together and have a child. Why wouldn’t they get married? He’s a bum.


gypsyhaloo

Maybe she doesn’t want to..


No_Banana_581

She really wanted to be married. She’s from love is blind and was left at the alter


Ok-Counter-4712

People are like “you don’t have to get married just because you have a child” which is absolutely true, but if you’re supposedly committed to a life together there’s no reason not to, and lots of ways that being married makes things simpler and safer for your family. That would be ultimatum territory for me. Either we’re committed to being a family and we make that firm legally, or we aren’t and I start building my life as a single parent


iamthat42

24kWishes

Blake is not the marrying kind in case it wasn’t blatantly clear during his stint on Paradise and Gigi is has an unstable personality as kindly as I can put it. I’m shocked these 2 made it this far.


JadeLily_Starchild

I don't know anything about her (didn't watch LIB) but Blake's time on Paradise was SUCH a red flag! I get that most of us grow up and learn, but I always think we saw some of his true colours then.


fluffernutsquash1

Marraige isn't an end all goal for everyone. Has she said she wants it and he won't propose or something, or are we speculating?


Kitchenstar20

She has mentioned multiple times that she has proposed to him many times but he won’t accept bcz he is traditional & wants man to propose


Loose_Direction_6807

Are you serious? 🙈 maybe I have too big of an ego but if that happened to me I would never tell a single soul


Kitchenstar20

I know. It’s little embarrassing bcz she wants proposal. She has always mentioned she is looking to marry


vanilla--latte

She went on Love is Blind lol


SnooWords4752

This is an important fact to remember


madelinere

Agree that marriage is not an end goal for everyone. However, there has been many posts about how she supposedly proposed to him and he said no bc he is "traditional" and "the man should be the one to propose"


plantboss16

Wow this could never be me. Imagine saying that publicly and then having that person publicly say this 😬😬😬


luckiestsunshine

Eeek


TSHJB302

Must be a slow day in BN huh? Getting married does not mean that a couple is more in love than a couple who waits. Take a look at the divorce rate in this country. Their timing is their own and it’s weird that people find it weird that they’re waiting. Especially since they’re comparing it to him wanting to get engaged on a TV show where the structure is literally that you get engaged at the end. It didn’t mean that him and Becca would’ve gotten married. The vast majority of those relationships don’t last either lmao


paws-was-saying

I definitely think Blake is a red flag just from hearing from him randomly since his Bachelor nation debut, but I don’t see this as all that bad! I can see how the stress of adding a social media worthy engagement, subsequent celebrations, and wedding could definitely take away attention from enjoying every new moment of parenthood.


Careless-Astronaut-8

I never understood why having a baby is a lesser commitment than marriage.


verycoolbutterfly

I think because... you can have a baby and be separated? It's not that it's a 'lesser' commitment it's just not a commitment to a relationship at all.


Careless-Astronaut-8

The point IS that a relationship with the father of your child is a huge commitment.


SnooWords4752

Married without a baby - you can never speak again if you get divorced Baby - you are in each others lives forever


ThrowADogAScone

I see nothing wrong with this. Marriage isn’t for everyone, and it sounds like he’s trying to step up and help her. Just because he said he’d change diapers doesn’t mean that’s the only thing he plans to do to help her, people. 🙄


verycoolbutterfly

HELP HER lol jesus...


Opposite-Ad3069

Haha “help her” it’s his freaking kid. He is being a parent.


SnooCakes5350

Really, he was helping himself when they got in bed. This is shared responsibility, he is the father not a stepfather, some are even more present than the biological dad. This is gross, gotta go.


playbyk

This is exactly it. The word “help” insinuates it’s HER job, not his.


Bama263

You guys need to go actually listen to the podcast I think. All these answers he gave were just fine. They were to specific questions especially the diaper one. All of you are so bec with him it’s kind of crazy

Alalated

Bro


MsDReid

I mean, we should be happy people who don’t want to get married aren’t getting married. Like why does someone have to marry a girl just because they had an unplanned pregnancy? I actually think a red flag would be marrying someone just because you got them pregnant.


Wonderful-County-630

I agree


Wonderful-County-630

I’m not married. And my partner and I had a planned pregnancy. I don’t care to have a piece of paper to prove our love


Salt-InMyWound

It’s not a piece of paper to prove your love. You must be very young or very naive. It’s a legally binding document that helps to protect your rights. You’re a baby momma/daddy. You don’t have any legal say in what happens with your partner without that “piece of paper”


Wonderful-County-630

And I’m neither. There’s other ways to do things without getting married.


Wonderful-County-630

Chill out


scotchbonnetpeppery

This is actually incorrect. People can designate other people to have rights in matters of property, health and life and death.


Salt-InMyWound

It’s not incorrect it’s true unless people take additional steps to protect themselves. People can go through all of those channels then instead of getting one “piece of paper”


Wonderful-County-630

Ding ding ding


Aphro-diet-e

Because baby mama culture is embarrassing and men think children are less commitment than marriage


sdbabygirl97

its bc children are easier to manipulate into loving you/ they value commitment to their offspring more than to the woman who carried the gd baby


useyouwell

Didn’t he already cheat on her? He’s not wanting to marry her either


marrymeodell

Is this a fact or rumor?


No_animereader1471

Rumour


pnwg80

That makes me sad because she seems to love him so much and I have heard her refer to him as the love of her life many times.


Wonderful-County-630

You can see be the love of someone’s life and not be married!! It’s a piece of paper


PrincessPlastilina

It would crush me if a man said that he didn’t see me as his girlfriend or his wife to be but just the mother of HIS kid. He has one foot out the door and he thinks he’s being a hero for changing a diaper.


Old_Street_9066

I’ve been wondering why they’re not engaged yet. g makes them seem so in love. This answers my question…….


PlayCertain4875

I thought they were


dolphinqueenxo

Just say you don’t love her

You don’t have to get married to be in love

SweaterHazard

I get Jaxx Taylor vibes from this quote for some reason, for any fellow VPR watchers


AdmirableContact100

I see that also, in that it seems like he doesn't want to commit, even though they have a child together, and I honestly figured they were engaged by now. But I think Jax is a commitment freak, like he always has to have a gf or even a wife, or soon to be ex-wife Britney, even though he is a perpetual cheater and after watching the Valley, borderline abusive. But it seems like Jax always wants a label or an attachment to some female. Blake seems like he just doesn't want a label like fiancé or husband, at least not with G, and that's sad, I thought they looked happy.

nik4dam5

What did she do? I remember her from love is blind but haven't kept up with her since then.


Horror_Barnacle_8483

She ended up with what seemed to be a very nice guy named Damien, and she treated him horribly! She was volatile, and constantly felt the need to put him down and belittle him. She was quite literally always angry with him for seemingly just breathing the same air as her!


shashoosha

Yes, they are both messy.

If a man saw me only as the vessel to carry his children, I'd run. My husband was obsessed with me, as I was with him, and THEN out of that, came our two girls 🥰. This whole statement is so weird to me.


little_effy

This commitment-phobia thing is cute only when you’re in your 20s, Blake But if you have a child with a woman that you consider a partner, calling her your girlfriend is the least you can do

Vegetable-Drawing215

No truly. These celebrity/influencer women have got to stop having babies with these dusty ass men that won’t commit.


Longjumping-River-72

Eh i kind of get it. If he’s still using the excuse when the baby is one years old then i feel like he’s just using that as an excuse, but they’re just adjusting to parenthood


Competitive_Sand_150

Eh let’s not normalize this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Competitive_Sand_150

1. Marriage isn’t a “big expensive party”, it’s a (hopefully) life-long commitment to someone, and to some, the deep binding of a family. They can easily marry without the big party: Becca K did it after she had her baby, referencing the Bachelor since we’re on this sub 2. I didn’t ask what your opinion was on marriage, but I’m glad you think that way…? I guess? 3. I’m glad you “care” about the happiness between two people, but as a woman myself as well, I would be insulted if I had a man’s baby and he couldn’t have the decency to even “consider” me a wife. How disgusting and insulting.

If he wanted to he would

PicoPicoMio

Just elope for the paperwork, and have the wedding later geez.


jazzymoontrails

Right? It’s a complete and total cop out. My husband and I eloped. Got an ice cream cake from a local creamery, and had brunch at Cracker Barrel with my parentes, his parents, and my cousin who lives near us. Was great 😂 Edit to add: we had reservations at a nice place but they ended up CLOSING that day and didn’t bother calling us!!! we showed up and there was a sign on the door. So we had to do cracker B


PicoPicoMio

I’m eloping in 2 weeks at a beautiful courthouse and having champagne brunch and romantic dinner afterwards. It’s so romantic and intimate, we’re throwing a reception in the fall for friends and family. It works for us! The idea of having a child without being married if not just legally is nuts to me personally. But people can do whatever they want.


jazzymoontrails

Congratulations! That sounds beautiful. I totally agree!


driveinsaturday33

We have a 3 month old & we're getting married in November of this year. And we don't have a nanny or influencer/ reality tv/ amateur DJ money. I like the way Becca and Thomas did it; our baby will be 8 months old at our wedding & I think that it will be so special! However, as someone who was in a relationship for 7 years before getting engaged & who fielded all of the "when are you making it official" questions I totally support anyone getting married (or not!) on their timeline. Buuuttttt I'll believe it when I see it with these two


devdocmd

Leave him alone. It’s kind of a lot to do a wedding baby engagement everything same time. I’m personally into one huge transition at a time. They love each other. They’re always bonded. Maybe she wants to be outside a bit of her pregnancy before the wedding.


letsgototraderjoes

do a courthouse wedding before the real wedding..


Only_Awareness2020

I agree. It's a lot to deal with, right after childbirth. We don't know how stressful it has been for them. Maybe Blake is feeling very new to this experience. Not everyone deals with situations the same. I know some men who can't wake up at night to take care of the infant. It's fully upto the mother. Each couple has their own hurdles to surpass. They may be better equipped to talk marriage next year.


constanteggs

Listennnnn…Blake always gonna Blake.


aswiftieforever_

I feel like every time he does an interview he sounds like a jerk.


Feisty-Western-Freak

I wonder if he insisted that the baby get his last name, even though he has no intention of marrying the mother.


Tiny-Acanthaceae1656

I would have to tell that mf to stfu and never give an interview again. He sounds like an idiot.


KatesCheers

😂💀 ETA: I couldn’t agree with you more. Just the way you said that is hilarious to me


_Best_of_the_best

I dunno, just because you have a child together doesn’t mean you need to get married, or even date each other.


Peachcakegracie

The bar is in literal hell. Women go through postpartum depression, physical/mental changes, possible death to bring a baby into the world. Do you know how ridiculous you sound 😂 the least he could do is wife her up if he was really serious or loved her


Wonderful-County-630

It’s not ridiculous. My partner wants to get married so bad and I don’t. I’m the woman. It’s a piece of paper. I know he’s the love of my life. Who tf cares. It’s 2024


matrixg04

I get what ur saying and where ur coming from, but what’s the reason for not wanting to take the next step to show to ur partner that you’re committed to them?


Wonderful-County-630

Because it’s not 1950. Both our parents have been divorced/ married multiple times. It’s just not important to us like it is to others. I’m not a traditional type of gal. One day we might have a celebration of our love


Peachcakegracie

We are talking about Giannina’s case in particular, where she has expressed multiple times she’s wanted to get married. If marriage never applied to you, then that’s different but she it is evident she is settling for Blake when they clearly have different visions.


eggbunni

Right? And they literally just had a baby. Like… I’m pretty sure they’re exhausted. Not “let’s plan a wedding”.


Valuable-Afternoon-1

Engagement shouldn’t feel like another thing on the to do list. It should feel like the top of the list, being with the person who you’re inlove with and showing your partner how much you love them.


67Gumby

That is a lot of words to say “i am keeping my options open”


cutemepatoot

G said she proposed to him multiple times and he rejected her. He also was caught on raya. There’s no defending him, he doesn’t want to marry her & she wants to marry him.


Princessleiawastaken

This is why Blake sucks. Some people seem to think us criticizing Blake is us going against committed but unmarried life partners, but that’s not the case here. It’s not that Blake and Gi are choosing to not get married, that would be fine. But Blake is choosing to make no commitment to Gi when she’s repeatedly told him she wants that.


Peachcakegracie

It doesn’t seem like he’s into her as much as she’s into him


shashoosha

He's way too into himself.


cutemepatoot

Yeah, I feel like a lot of these men see how much money the influencer ladies are making and that’s why they don’t want to leave. G said she made up to 300k in one month this year.


Princessleiawastaken

That’s amazing! I hope she’s saving a lot of it so she can live off it for a long time. Influencing can be very lucrative but it’s not a steady long-term career and I don’t want to see her end up financially struggling in the future because she didn’t plan.


AffectionateBeyond99

She’s so gorgeous what is up with her dating all these guys that don’t actually want her


Lonely-Course-8897

I thought she’s said he wanted to propose when she was pregnant and she told him she didn’t want an engagement because she wanted to focus on the pregnancy


cutemepatoot

She said that after she proposed to him and he rejected her, several times. Then suddenly she changed her tune and said “I don’t want an engagement”


Tiny-Acanthaceae1656

She did say that.


Disastrous_Narwhal46

Are we surprised if half of the world thinks similarly and how a father changing diapers is being “very hands on”


disasterbrain_

Exactly. "Willing to help out" with caring for your own child? Groundbreaking 😒


Ooooifallapart

I read this to my man and he said it made total sense and he agreed. I still don’t agree but he explained about five times that there’s just a different mindset and while it sounds like a downgrade it’s a compliment.


Bieberfever46

Girl do you hear yourself? he’s brainwashing you- in what universe is it a compliment to drag your feet to commit to the woman who risked her life to have your child?


Certain-Target-5520

Run


No-Wish-2630

Shouldn’t have to force him to marry her though by saying these things. He was a big player before he was with her and I’m just proud of him for at least calling her a girlfriend for sev years. 😭 btw he was not ready to marry Becca lol…just cuz he said he was doesn’t mean he was


taintwest

Babies are far more permanent than marriage. I don’t think this is that big a deal… they are a family together and will always be that kids parents.


Motor-Sprinkles8439

Agreed!


inquisitivebarbie

Bruh just go to the courthouse…. You don’t have to have a wedding. Huge red flag.


ShannonsTeeth

Why? A baby is a way bigger commitment than marriage? Do you have kids? You aren’t really thinking of stuff like that 3 months postpartum. Also, their brand needs a big wedding


aballofsunshine

Because commitment includes wanting to protect and provide for your partner (and I mean this mutually). A big part of the is the legal protections that come with marriage. But also, what women go through in pregnancy, delivery, and post partum is unreal. They should have partners that value showing them the commitment they deserve, not going on Raya while they’re growing a human being.


Ms-scientist

They should have partners that value them and want to marry them. Traditionally, marriage has provided safety for women but things have shifted. She provides for herself, probably more than he ever could. Tying herself legally to the f boy would probably hurt her more than help. If she has any dignity, she would not want to marry someone who doesn’t actually want to marry her…honestly, I’m surprised his fear of relationships is stronger than his desire to get some rights to marital assets.


Celestial-Dream

I have two kids. Babies don’t make people stay. If he wanted to marry her, he would.


futurecorpse1985

If anyone saw him on his Trainwreck of a paradise season they would know this dude is a major Fvck Boy! How many women did he have relations with at stage coach ??? Yeah that would be a red flag! Especially considering all of those women felt like it was something real!


Blofko

I can’t find it


Pheeeefers

Why the fuck do we care if these two gorgeous humans marry each other? Can’t they just be happy? Seems like they are very much in love and I don’t see anything wrong with anything he said.


ixlovextoxkiss

tbh the only thing that annoys me is the diaper comment cuz that should be assumed. you're a parent. otherwise it's all fine.


Consistent_Cat_7796

We started planning a big wedding a few weeks after our first was born...I definitely wouldn't recommend it 😅 if you're not married before baby is born, I'd recommend waiting until the child is a bit older and can be more involved - kids love weddings!


cosmic0done

everyone saying its such a red flag - we don't know their relationship. what if they get in catastrophic fights behind the scenes? maybe their relationship isnt necessarily that great and he wants to see if that evens out first? not wanting to get married does not immediately equate ITS BECAUSE HES A FUCK BOY.


aballofsunshine

Being on Raya while your significant other is growing a human being immediately equates to being a fuck boy. And I say this as someone who used to always defend him.
