Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have read the disclosure as it appears under the caption “Change in Auditor” in the Form S-1 of Bumble Inc. dated October 30, 2020 and are in agreement with the statements in the second, third and fourth paragraphs therein. We have no basis to agree or disagree with other statements of the registrant contained therein.

Regarding the registrant’s statement concerning the lack of internal control to prepare financial statements, as discussed under the caption “Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Class A Common Stock” in the Form S-1 on page 52 therein, we had considered such matter in determining the nature, timing and extent of procedures performed in our audits of the Predecessor Company’s 2018 and 2019 financial statements.

Very truly yours,
