After the breakup, Natalie was newly single and figuring out what she wanted to do.
Next, Natalie appeared on the second season of 90 Day: The Single Life! Although she and Mike were still married, they both agreed to see other people and move on with their lives.
Natalie moved to St. Petersburg, Florida and she was having fun getting to know new people. She enjoyed being close to the beach and even learned how to play cornhole.
Natalie and her friends were approached by a very bold man at the bar. He claimed he was looking for his "next ex-wife" and cracked a few uncomfortable jokes, which took Natalie by surprise. Her friends dubbed her a "man magnet."
Natalie got gussied up for a blind date with a model named Johnny. Although she was nervous about meeting a new man and possibly getting hurt again, she was absolutely in love with her new hairstyle.
Natalie's first date with Johnny went well! He got rid of his alcoholic beverage to make her feel more comfortable and they talked about pursuing their modeling careers. Plus, like Natalie, Johnny shared a belief in God instead of aliens. Swoon!
The pair went to a modeling workshop together. They planned a second date for the next day and Natalie was excited to get to know Johnny more. However, she knew she'd have to tell him she was still married sooner rather than later.
During the car ride to their second date, Natalie revealed that she was still in fact married to Mike. Luckily, Johnny was very understanding about Natalie's situation and explained that two of his friends were dealing with similar circumstances.
Natalie was having fun on her marine life center date with Johnny, but she felt he was being a bit too touchy for her liking. She explained that she was still hurt from her marriage and needed some personal space. She went as far as to compare herself to one of the rehabilitated turtles nearby.
Natalie got upset and Johnny tried pulling her closer to comfort her. However, that only made matters worse. Natalie swiftly put an end to their second date — and their budding romance.
Natalie confided in her friends, Jolanta and Ryan. She was having a hard time trusting new people and she was doing everything she could to keep her guard up. She wanted to have a child, but she didn't want to waste her time with someone who didn't have the same intentions as her. Jolanta and Ryan comforted her, but told her the only way she could fulfill her dream was to really put herself out there and look for someone with the same life goals.
Taking her friends' advice to heart, Natalie went out on a date with a man named Josh, who she met at the same modeling event she attended with Johnny. Natalie and Josh were playful and flirty the whole time.
Unfortunately, things turned sour during dinner. Natalie found out that Josh had two children with two different women and it raised a red flag for her. Although their connection started out strong, Natalie decided that Josh wasn't the one for her either.
Days later, Natalie realized she had genuine feelings for Josh. He invited her to visit him in Los Angeles over video chat and Natalie agreed. Although it was out of her comfort zone, she was excited and it was exactly the push she needed.
Watch Natalie's journey continue on the brand-new season of 90 Day: The Single Life!
