‘Bachelor in Paradise’ star Victoria Fuller is dating Gregg Grippo
Victoria Fuller has finally confirmed her relationship with Gregg Grippo.
During the “Bachelor in Paradise” reunion aired Tuesday night, host Jesse Palmer asked Fuller about the romance rumors after the couple began flirting online.
“Yes, Greg and I are together,” she said before explaining that she “absolutely didn’t” cheat on Johnny DePhillipo, from whom she accepted the proposal at the end of the reality show.
However, DePhillipo had a different take on the situation as he is “still considering[s] talking to someone else when we’re working through our cheating or emotional betrayal issues.”
After leaving the stage, Grippo – who appeared in Katie Thurston’s season – joined his lead lady to clear the air.
“We’ve been friends for some time. We met last year through mutual friends,” Grippo, 29, said of his relationship with Fuller, adding that they started dating after the reality show ended.
“I was like, you know what, we’re at this point where we’re really interested in each other and I was like, ‘I want to take you out for a drink,'” he continued. “So you want to go to Rome in two days?”
While the complicated move may seem odd to some, the couple explained that they chose their first date abroad so as not to spoil the show – which backfired when tourists snapped their picture abroad.
After failing to hide their affair, they decided to go all out and get matching ‘ciao’ tattoos while in Italy.
“Nobody has to understand or understand that and that’s okay,” said Fuller, also 29. “But anyone can hate us if they want to.
“I understand. I understand that it doesn’t look like the best thing in the world,” Grippo said in an understandable tone.
Fuller participated in the 24th season of “Bachelor” during Peter Weber’s season. After appearing on the show, she dated former bachelor Chris Soules before joining the 8th season of the ABC series.
