Say What? Rachel Bilson and Nick Viall Admit They Faked Their Romance

Here for the right reasons? January Jones, Sarah Hyland, Chris Lane and more celebrities have been romantically linked to Bachelor Nation stars through the years — with some even marrying their suitor.

Nick Viall made his Bachelorette debut in 2014 while competing for Andi Dorfman’s heart. He later appeared on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season before taking on the role of the Bachelor in 2016. The “Viall Files” podcast host split from season 21 winner Vanessa Grimaldi in August 2017, but he didn’t stay single long.

The Wisconsin native was rumored to be dating the X-Men: First Class actress in late 2017, although it wasn’t until two years later that Jones confirmed she’d gone out with Viall. The Last Man on Earth alum revealed during a January 2020 appearance on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast that she met Viall after he slid into her DMs.

“I agreed to go on a date with him — or to drinks or whatever — and as I met him, I was rounding the corner, and I saw him, and he has this very distinct walk, and I had this instinct to run up to him and wrap my legs around his waist — you know, like they do?” she joked at the time. “I stopped myself.”

The twosome hung out a couple of times before things fizzled out. Wells Adams, on the other hand, found his forever person with actress Hyland after striking out with JoJo Fletcher on season 12 of The Bachelorette in 2016.

The Bachelor in Paradise bartender proposed to the Geek Charming star in summer of 2019. After postponing their nuptials amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the pair settled on a date in late 2022.

“Third time’s a charm,” Adams exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2022. “We had to postpone two years in a row because of this pandemic. So I think we’re hoping [this year it’s] going to happen. And I think I’ve told you this before, if it doesn’t, then we’re getting a limo and it’s some bad suits and we’re going to Vegas and we’re just knocking this thing out cause eventually, we need to get married.”

Lauren Bushnell Lane may not have found her happily ever after with Bachelor Ben Higgins, but she did find The One in country crooner Lane. The twosome tied the knot in October 2019 and have since welcomed son Dutton. The Oregon native announced in June 2022 that she and the “Big, Big Plans” singer were expecting baby No. 2. Son Baker was born that October.

Scroll down to find out which celebrities have taken a chance on love with stars from the long-running ABC franchise:


Ben Flajnik and Jennifer Love Hewitt
Shortly after the actress sent flirty tweets to Flajnik in August 2011, an eyewitness told Us that Flajnik stopped by Lion's Pub in San Francisco with Giants player Cody Ross, but he made a beeline for Hewitt after spotting her across the room. "It seemed like a first date,” the observer said at the time.  A decade later, Flajnik confirmed he and the actress “went on a number of dates” — but he had already signed the contract to be the Bachelor. During the interview on the “She’s All Bach” podcast, he called it a “true statement” that Hewitt tried to “convince him” to say no to the show. “I was like, ‘Well, there's not much I can do here now.’ We're dating for a couple weeks — I wasn't going to not do The Bachelor,” he explained, denying that Hewitt ever thought about joining the show for him.

The Pretty Little Liars alum was briefly linked to Underwood in July 2020, two months after he split from season 23 winner Cassie Randolph.

The pop star swooned over Hannah Brown’s suitor during season 15 of The Bachelorette in July 2019. After the show ended, Lovato and Johnson went on a few dates. However, their fling was short-lived. “Mike and Demi have pumped the brakes,” a source told Us that October. “It was never a serious, full-blown relationship by any means. There is absolutely no love lost between them. The timing just wasn’t right because they’re both so busy.” imageSPACE/Shutterstock; Joel C Ryan/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

Fans speculated that the season 21 Bachelor and Mad Men alum were dating as they show subtle signs of affection on social media in 2017. Viall liked the majority of Jones’ Instagram posts beginning in late November of that, which was shortly after Jones revealed on The Late Late Show that Viall had mysteriously reached out to her. The actress confessed in January 2020 that she did in fact date the former reality star, explaining on the “Armchair Expert” podcast, “He was cast as the quote-unquote ‘villain,’ but he was actually … he had a bit of a brain, you know? So there was something else there.” JB Lacroix/ WireImage; Jerod Harris/Getty Images
Chase McNary and Tomi Lahren
The Bachelorette season 12 standout and former television host had a short-lived fling, according to McNary.
