Victoria Fuller announced her connection with Gregg Grippo at last.
During the Tuesday night broadcast of the “Bachelor in Paradise” reunion, presenter Jesse Palmer asked Fuller about the romance rumors after the duo engaged in online flirtation.
“Yes, Greg and I are together,” she said, adding that she “definitely did not” cheat on Johnny DePhillipo, from whom she accepted a marriage proposal at the conclusion of the reality series.
However, DePhillipo viewed the scenario differently, as he “still considers talking to someone else while we’re working on our difficulties to be emotional infidelity or cheating.”
Grippo, who performed in Katie Thurston’s season, joined his leading lady after exiting the stage to clarify the air.
After engaging in online flirtation and being sighted together in Italy, speculations of a romantic relationship between the two began to circulate.
We have been pals for some time. We met via mutual acquaintances last year,” Grippo, 29, said of his connection with Fuller, adding that they began dating following the conclusion of the reality series.
He said, “I was like, you know what, we’re at this point where we’re genuinely interested in one another, so I wanted to take you out for a drink.” “You wish to travel to Rome in two days?”
While traveling, the pair even got matching tattoos.

Although the intricate maneuver may appear odd to some, the couple stated that they planned to have their first date abroad to prevent spoiling the surprise, which backfired when visitors took pictures of them abroad.
After failing to conceal their relationship, they decided to go all out in Italy by getting identical “ciao” tattoos.
“No one is required to comprehend or comprehend it, and that’s alright,” Fuller, also 29, added. However, everyone is free to detest us if they so want.
Grippo recognizes that the chronology of their connection is not the “best appearance.”

“I get it. “I realize it’s not the most attractive look in the world,” Grippo stated rationally.
Fuller participated on “The Bachelor” Season 24 during Peter Weber’s season. Before joining Season 8 of the ABC spin-off series, she dated former Bachelor Chris Soules after her time on the show.
