When it comes to Blake Horstmann and Nick Viall’s feud, time doesn’t exactly heal all wounds.
“We’ll just say he’s still blocked,” Blake, 36, exclusively shared with Us Weekly while attending the Absolut Hottest Brunch: Desert Edition in Palm Springs, California, on Saturday, April 11. “We’ll just put it that way.”
The former Bachelorette stars found themselves embroiled in a public feud after the 2019 season 6 premiere of Bachelor in Paradise.
Nick, 45, was critical of how Blake handled a love triangle between costars Caelynn Miller-Keyes and Kristina Schulman.
Awards season is out, and festival season is fashionably in. Coachella 2026 is finally here, and thousands of people are headed to Indio, California, for three days of nonstop music and must-see fashion. “Styling for Coachella is different than other events because there really are no boundaries when it comes to the style,” celebrity stylist […]
When Black was later asked in April 2020 if he would ever be a guest on Nick’s podcast, the reality star replied, “I’d rather s*** in my hand and clap.”
While attending Coachella 2026 with his fiancée Giannina Milady Gibelli, Blake confirmed his relationship with Nick remains distant.
“No, we have not reconciled at all,” he shared. “I don’t even want to reconcile with that man. We’ll put it at that.”

Despite there being no end in sight for the pair’s ongoing feud, Blake has not distanced himself from Bachelor Nation completely. As he finalizes wedding details with Giannina, 33, the former Bachelor in Paradise star confirmed that some guests who scored an invite are from the world of reality TV.
“There are going to be a lot of Bachelor Nation people there, and a lot of Love Is Blind friends there as well,” he said when referencing Giannina’s past reality show. “We got some fun things. We’re going to have some fun TikToks and reels, if you will.”
One thing Blake won’t be doing during his ceremony is presenting a rose to his wife.
“Am I going to get your last rose at the ceremony?” Giannina asked. “Absolutely not.”
There are only three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and celebrities coupling up at the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Since the ever-growing multi-weekend event was cofounded in 1999, A-list couples such as Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo and Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have headed to the deserts of […]
Blake added while laughing, “Hell no.”
Since falling in love with his forever partner outside of Bachelor Nation, Blake has found success as a DJ. Most recently, he was able to showcase his skills — and creative remix of Giannina’s iconic Love Is Blind quotes — at The Absolut Heat Haus on the iconic festival’s Indio, California, grounds.
“I’ve been doing it officially eight years now., I’ve been at it for a minute,” Blake told Us when enjoying the new Absolut Tabasco. “There are a lot of new DJs on the scene and honestly, more power to them. I still consider myself — me and DJ Pauly D — we’re the pioneers. … I play with Absolut every Coachella. It’s been a blast. It’s so much fun. We always put on a vibe dance party in there.”
