Andi Dorfman kicked off 2022 with a big surprise for her fans.
Andi Dorfman finally revealed her new boyfriend at the start of the year, following a month of secrecy and teasing.
However, as it was later revealed, her new boyfriend, Blaine Hart, was not a complete stranger in her life.
Andi Dorfman and her new boyfriend both went to college.
On November 10, 2021, Dorfman first hinted at her current relationship. She shared a cute selfie of herself hugging her man.
Hart was dressed in an Atlanta Braves baseball cap, but his face was turned away.
People began by making deductions in the post’s comment section. Based on her stories that day, someone guessed it was model Robby Hayes.
Another person chimed in, asking if it was Blake Moynes she was hugging.
Unfortunately, they had to wait more than a month for a response.
E! News learned from a source close to her at the time. Dorfman had been dating her boyfriend for “a few months,” according to reports.
According to the insider, they were perfect for each other and she was the happiest she had ever been with him.
However, she preferred to keep their relationship private for the time being. Dorfman changed her mind as the year 2021 came to an end.
On December 31, she finally posted a photo with Hart’s face visible.
“By far my favorite thing from 2021,” Dorfman wrote in the caption. As he drew her closer, Hart leaped onto Dorfman for a kiss. The following day, she did the full face reveal.
She shared another photo with Hart on January 1, 2022.
In the caption, she expressed her belief that 2022 will be her best year yet. Perhaps she was referring to her newfound love and dating situation.
Following that, E! News revealed some new information about the couple. When they met in mid-2021, they were not strangers.
They first met while attending college in South Carolina. It’s unclear whether they were dating at the time, but they eventually split up.
Dorfman then reconnected with her current boyfriend in Italy during the summer of 2021. Things took off from there, and they are now head over heels in love.
Andi Dorfman on Blaine Hart’s Relationship
Dorfman opened up about her relationship with her new beau in an interview with US Weekly at Sports Illustrated The Party x Palm Tree Crew.
She explained that she made their relationship public because she had finally met someone “that I wanted everyone to know about.”
The reality star acknowledged that it may sound corny, but she wanted everyone to know how happy she was in love.
To be sure, the positive response from her fans and followers only encouraged her to open up more about her relationship in public.
Dorfman also discussed her engagement plans with her boyfriend in the same interview. She promised to inform the media if she became engaged, but only after telling her parents.
Andi Dorfman’s Relationship History
Dorfman’s dating history is well-known as a Bachelorette alum. She was first linked to Juan Pablo Galavis, a former The Bachelor contestant, in 2014.
The reality star appeared on his season of The Bachelor. She eventually withdrew from the competition.
The following year, she had a second chance at love on The Bachelorette. Dorfman was engaged to Josh Murray, the show’s winner from her season.
Even though their time together appeared to be perfect on camera, it wasn’t until the show ended that cracks in their relationship began to appear.
Following her Fantasy Suite date with Nick Viall, her Bachelorette season’s runner-up, they called it quits in January 2015.
Dorfman claimed in her memoir It’s Not OK that Murray was emotionally abusive to her. She even said it was the worst relationship she’d ever had.
She was also linked to Viall after the pair was seen running together in Los Angeles in 2020.
However, he quickly debunked those rumors, claiming they were just friends and not boyfriend and girlfriend.
For the time being, after failing miserably at finding love on television, Dorfman appears to have found love elsewhere.
In fact, her boyfriend is unconcerned about her involvement with the franchise. “He did not see her on The Bachelorette,” an insider told E! News.
