Belle Black is single and ready to date following her public breakup with EJ DiMera on Days of Our Lives. The character, played by Martha Madison, has caught the attention of several potential suitors in Salem, including her ex-husband Shawn Brady. Fans speculate on who the mystery hunk might be as Belle turns to a local dating app.
Breakup Background
Belle Black's romance with EJ DiMera ended dramatically in court when EJ revealed their relationship during his son Johnny's trial, leading to a conflict of interest accusation. The judge dismissed EJ's tactics, resulting in a messy public split. Belle declared she is done with EJ romantically and wants distance, agreeing with her sister Sami that EJ is not right for her.
Potential Matches
Belle confided in Shawn-Douglas Brady that she signed up for a Salem dating app to find romance. She matched with Chad DiMera, whose profile was revamped by Leo Stark. Other possibilities include the returned Jeremy Horton, a hunky teacher with a potentially shady past, and Dr. Mark Greene, recently paroled. Fans hope for a 'Shell' reunion with Shawn, who comforted Belle amid family health crises involving Marlena Evans and Bo Brady.
Fan Favorites and Speculation
Shippers of Belle and Shawn point to their tender moments during past tragedies, like Bo's coma and John Black's death. While Philip Kiriakis is unavailable and Xander Cook is newly single but mismatched, the article suggests Jeremy or Shawn as top contenders. No confirmed pairing has been announced, leaving Belle's next 'steamy' storyline open.
The speculation highlights ongoing drama in Salem, with Belle embracing singledom after past abrupt endings to her EJ arc tied to cast changes.
