Bartise Bowden is of Mulatto ethnicity, as his mother is from Cayman Island.

He is the star of Netflix's reality show Love Is Blind Season 3. He had developed feelings for Raven Ross during the show.

In one of the episodes, he mentioned to her his childhood and the moment that caused his parents to separate. He shared the trauma he had been through following his mom and dad's separation in the show. 

His mother was engaged to someone else when she met Robert. However, after meeting Robert, she chose to stay with Bartise's dad and left her then-fiance. 

However, after years, when the family was on vacation to the Cayman Islands, her ex-fiance approached her, which enraged her husband, Robert, as mentioned by Metro Co Uk. As a result, their relationship began to shake, and they eventually separated.

When talking about his childhood, he said that his mother, Penny Nichols, previously lived in the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory. His father, Robert Bowden, comes from an African heritage. 

Thus, Bowden comes from mixed ethnicity of African and European ancestry, making him a Mulatto. However, since he was born and raised in America, he is an American national.

He mentioned at the beginning of the show that he knew how to speak Spanish, which also made people wonder about his nationality, but the truth is that he knows the language, and it is not related to his ancestry or heritage.
