Corinne Olympios Still Wants Nick Viall Amid DeMario Jackson Dating Rumors
"Bachelor in Paradise" stars Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson may have reconciled after their sex scandal, but there is another "Bachelor" star in her heart.
Olympios and Jackson have been hanging out more and more over the past few weeks, sparking rumors that they are dating. Just recently, Olympios and Jackson even cozied up to each other at Maxim Magazine's Halloween party. But when asked about their relationship, Olympios has stressed over and over again that they are just friends.
But while she may not be interested in being more than friends with Jackson, the same can't be said about her feelings for "Bachelor" alum Nick Viall. However, Olympios said that she has a condition if he wants to date her.
According to Olympios, she hasn't seen Viall since her stint in "Bachelor," but she is open to meeting him again if he contacts her and if he changes back to his old self. "If I saw him getting back to the way he was when I first stepped out of the limo, I would seriously consider giving him a chance," the reality star told Entertainment Tonight.
"I would meet up with him, have coffee, talk to him and see how he is. He just broke up with his fiancée; it can't be easy," Olympios added.
Olympios remains friends with Viall's ex, Vanessa Grimaldi. But she said that she had not been surprised when she heard about their split. And just like Olympios, the ex-couple's friends were also not that shocked about their breakup.
"Their friends knew the relationship wouldn't last," a source told People. "It was a mismatch from the start. [Grimaldi is] super fun, bubbly and outgoing and he's more of a serious personality and more introverted. She would try to bring him out of his shell, but he's just not as comfortable in big groups."
Aside from Grimaldi, Olympios is also friends with "Bachelorette" star Rachel Lindsay. However, her closest pal in the "Bachelor" circle is Jackson. But despite their close relationship, she insists that there is nothing romantic between them and even likened him to a brother.
"DeMario and I are close friends. We are not dating," Olympios said about their relationship status. "We were hanging out with a group at Disneyland, and I have no problem holding hands with any of my friends. Since things with 'Bachelor in Paradise' wound down, DeMario and I talk almost every day. We both know neither of us made the complaint that started everything, so why wouldn't we be friends? We've been able to move forward and he's like a brother to me."
