In the clip for the upcoming June 25 episode, viewers will see Nathaly and her on a stroll in a park in Colombia. Initially, she is impressed by her date.
“Talking about your spiritual journey is such a personal thing. So being vulnerable, and talking about something so intimate so personally, those are qualities that I’d want in a partner. So, it’s really great,” she says in her confessional.
While discussing their spiritual beliefs, Nathaly’s date,Alejandro, shares with her that he can communicate with angels. He tells producers that he’s excited about where the date is headed as he and Nathaly have a lot in common.
Initially impressed by Alejandro, Nathaly is shocked when Alejandro reveals that he keeps this a secret from women because he believes he won’t “get laid” if they know about his beliefs.
“I think it’s cool, but I definitely need to hear more about it, and I also am curious how this is connected to him not getting laid. And I’m really confused on that,” she laughs.
