Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo reveal matching tattoos in the ‘BiP’ finale.
Hi, Paradise.
While “Bachelor in Paradise” stars Victoria Fuller and Johnny DePhillipo’s engagement wasn’t meant to last forever, she apparently left Mexico and got something more permanent — revealing couple tattoos she made with new love Greg Grippo.
Fuller, 28, appeared on the stage of the “Paradise” finale last night for a heartbreaking reunion with 26-year-old DePhillipo, after recording their romantic engagement on the beach – and admitted the rumors were true that she is now dating “Bachelorette” alum Gripo, 29.
Not only did she confirm their relationship and failed engagement, but the reality TV star showed off a small “ciao” tattoo as former suitor Katie Thurston joined Fuller in the hot seat and revealed her matching design.
Saying they had been “friends for a while”, Grippo said the two reconnected “weeks after paradise” and invited her to “go out for a drink” … in Rome.
Both were tattooed to commemorate their time in Italy, with Fuller exclaiming, “We have tattoos!” and rolled up the sleeve of her black dress choker style dress by SER.O.YA ($186) when host Jesse Palmer asked if “love is in the air” after the trip.
Grippo, for example, didn’t quite agree with the reveal, replying “Well, I guess we’ll do that” when his girlfriend showed off her ink.
Finally, the marketing representative said “fuck it, okay” and took off his jacket to show viewers the international pattern on his inside arm.
“It says ‘ciao’ here, it’s Italian for ‘hello’,” he explained as the rest of the cast of Bachelor in Paradise he gaspedThey rolled their eyes and folded their hands together in response.
“I understand it’s not the best look in the world,” he admitted of their rapidly evolving relationship (and tattoos) after allegations of cheating surrounded the couple.
“Anyone can hate us if they want to,” Fuller said, “and it looks like Bachelor Nation shared the opinion of the studio’s audience, delivering various hilarious tweets about the new couple’s Italian mascara.”
“Without today’s episode, we would never have known that ciao is Italian for hello, thank you Greg” one fan wrotewhile another brought Pete Davidson into chat, tweetingVictoria F and Greg Grippo act like they’re going to last forever because they have tattoos? Did we just decide to forget about Pete Davidson?!”
The couple seemed to forget that “ciao” has many meanings, as one fan pointed out.
“What #VictoriaAndGreg *not* said but is true is *ciao* also means *GOODBYE!!*” wrote a Twitter user. “Yeah, they both got a goodbye tattoo while Johnny still thought he and Victoria had it worked out. Let it sink into Bachelor Nation!”
If things really don’t work out between the couple, Fuller is no stranger to regretting the tattoo. Last year, the undergraduate student who starred in Peter Weber’s season shared on her Instagram that she was removing a huge tattoo on her back.
“I have four tattoos – this one is the biggest reminder that I don’t want or need anymore,” she wrote at the time. “I wish I had told the 19-year-old ‘NO!'”
“The tattoo takes an hour. It will take me over a year to remove it. Remember that,” added the beautiful brunette.
Perhaps Fuller should have taken her own advice in Italy.
