Despite a controversial beginning, Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo continue to thrive in their relationship.
Victoria Fuller burst onto the scene in 2020 during Peter Weber's season of The Bachelor. Following the end of her romance with the pilot, she was romantically linked to Chris Soules from season 19 of The Bachelor. However, their relationship came to an end in the autumn of 2020, after spending time together during the Covid-19 lockdown.
"I maintain constant communication with him and find him remarkable. We share many similarities, but at the moment, I prefer to prioritize my own personal growth," she expressed during her appearance on the "Viall Files" podcast in September 2020. "Although farming is not my expertise, I have acquired ample knowledge about corn."
Grippo, on the other hand, made his debut on Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette, broadcasted during the summer of 2021. However, he chose to depart from the show following a disagreement with the lead following their hometown date.
In August 2021, during his own interview with Nick Viall, he expressed his dislike for watching the hometown date. He admitted that it made him deeply upset. Despite his eagerness to align with her, his efforts came across as angry rather than understanding. He recognizes that his behavior was immature and does not want anyone to justify it. He believes that such behavior should not be normalized and admits to feeling quite ashamed of it.
Following the hometown date, the New Jersey native pursued a relationship with Clémence Lopez for several months. Meanwhile, Fuller embarked on a journey to find love on Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico. While Grippo and Lopez's relationship ended quietly, the Virginia Beach native found love and got engaged to Johnny DePhillipo on the beach.
Shortly after the series ended, things took a turn. In October 2022, Fuller and Grippo were seen together in Italy, which led fans to speculate that they were dating. This speculation was fueled when Grippo left a flirty comment on Fuller's Instagram, only to delete it later.
“Go on and put on that dress that all the bad boys like,” she wrote alongside a pic of herself set to Zach Bryan‘s “Oklahoma Smokeshow.”
Grippo responded, “Good girl.”

Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo's Relationship Timeline
They may have gotten a controversial start, but Victoria Fuller and Greg Grippo are still going strong.
Bachelor Nation first encountered Fuller during Peter Weber's 2020 season of The Bachelor. Although her relationship with the pilot didn't succeed, she was later associated with Bachelor Chris Soules from season 19. However, their relationship ended in the fall of 2020 after spending time together during the coronavirus lockdown.
In a September 2020 interview on the "Viall Files" podcast, Fuller shared that she still maintains regular communication with Soules and holds him in high regard. She mentioned their similarities but expressed her desire to concentrate on her personal growth at the moment. Additionally, she humorously remarked, "I may not be a farmer, but I've certainly gained extensive knowledge about corn."
Grippo was first introduced to fans on Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette, which aired during the summer of 2021. However, he decided to leave the show after a disagreement with the lead following their hometown date.
In his interview with Nick Viall in August 2021, Grippo expressed his dislike for watching that particular episode. He explained, "That hometown date really upset me. I was hoping to connect with her on a deeper level, but instead, I came across as angry... It was an immature reaction on my part, and I don't want anyone to justify or normalize that behavior. I felt quite ashamed of it all."
After dating Clémence Lopez for several months, the New Jersey native decided to search for true love on Bachelor in Paradise in Mexico. Meanwhile, Grippo and Lopez ended their relationship discreetly, while the Virginia Beach native got engaged to Johnny DePhillipo on the beach.
Shortly after the show ended, there was a change in the situation. In October 2022, Fuller and Grippo were seen together in Italy, leading fans to speculate about their romantic involvement.
Speculation escalated after Grippo made a flirtatious comment on Fuller's Instagram, only to later delete it. "Why don't you wear that irresistible dress that attracts all the rebellious guys?" she playfully wrote, accompanied by a photo of herself while playing Zach Bryan's "Oklahoma Smokeshow."
Grippo remarked, "Well done."
Viall, who shares a friendship with Grippo (while Fuller maintains a close bond with the season 21 Bachelor's fiancée, Natalie Joy), later confirmed their relationship through a TikTok video featuring Fuller giving Grippo a peck on the cheek.

“Greg and I are currently in the process of understanding each other better as we share similar values. However, our end goal is clear, and we will wait and see what unfolds. I have to say, he is truly an amazing individual. Throughout this entire journey, Greg has been nothing but uplifting and supportive. Having someone like him as a partner is exactly what I desire – someone who makes me feel good and helps me become a better person,” she expressed. “There is a possibility that Greg might relocate to Nashville for me. It will be interesting to see how things progress. As for me, I have no plans of leaving as I own a house here. … When he joined me on stage during the reunion, it was incredibly touching. He didn't ask for anything in return; all he wanted was to be there and support me. I couldn't ask for a more wonderful boyfriend.”

During their first joint interview together, Grippo confirmed he was “head over heels” in love with Fuller and hinted they were already planning their future together.
“She’s my person,” he confided to Viall. “I haven’t experienced this level of fulfillment, as 'content' feels too mundane to describe it. Yet, there is an undeniable beauty in finding contentment with someone. It's the ability to simply coexist in a room for an extended period of time – days on end – without growing weary of each other's company. We are continuously evolving together, and I envision us embarking on the journey towards marriage. I desire that deep connection, and I know it holds immense significance for her as well. Taking that leap with her is something I earnestly yearn for.”
