Nick Viall Reveals If Rumors Are True That He Dumped Jen Saviano To Be ‘Bachelor’ 2017


Ever since Nick Viall was picked as The Bachelor 2017, there have been rumors that he dumped Jen Saviano to go on the show. These two started talking on Bachelor in Paradise, and it looked like a love match might have happened. Us Weekly Magazine shared that in a recent interview with reporters, Nick finally responded to these rumors and revealed if they are true or not.

Nick actually did a conference call on Wednesday, December 14, where he answered a lot of questions. Lauren Himle actually claimed that Nick Viall was dating Jen Saviano up until a week before he left for the show. When you are cast as The Bachelor, they talk to you and see if you are interested before actually telling you if you got the job. They do talk to more than one person. Accusations were that Nick dated her until he found out for sure that he got the job.

When asked about these rumors, Nick Viall replied saying, “No, none of that was remotely true.”

Lauren started these rumors when she talked to Detroit’s The Ticket radio station on August 31 and shared about it.

“I am not a big fan of [his]. He dated my great friend Jen on Bachelor in Paradise … but it was my understanding that they were still seeing each other after the show completed,” she said. She then said that they were dating up until a week before that when Nick went off to film The Bachelor. Now when Jen found out Nick was The Bachelor, she simply went to social networks and posted “About that” along with a GIF of Amy Schumer chugging from a giant glass of wine.

This isn’t the first time that Nick Viall has looked for love on reality television, but hopefully, this time it works out for him. There are a lot of mixed feelings about Nick getting the job, the viewers will tune in to see how it all turns out. This might just be the time that Nick gets the girl. Regardless, with Nick Viall on the show, it is going to be an interesting season.

Entertainment Tonight shared that Nick Viall also talked about if he has an ex that he is hoping will show up on the show. Some fans have wondered if Jen would end up being there.

“That would be interesting. As far as my relationships, whether it’s been on TV or not, my past is my past…those ships have sailed…I don’t think there’s anyone who comes to mind where I’m like, ‘I hope they come,'” Nick said. It sounds like he is just ready to find new someone new in his life.

Nick Viall does know exactly what he wants in a woman, though.

“I’m very attracted to a strong, confident woman. I like a woman who isn’t afraid to be a leader…someone who can keep up with me, keep me on my toes, challenge me and isn’t afraid to call me out on some of my BS.” Hopefully, ABC was able to find a few girls that will fit the type that Nick wants so that he can find his perfect match.
