'The Bachelor' Stars Victoria Fuller And Chris Soules May Be Dating
With the global coronavirus pandemic confining people to their homes, it has become an opportunity for those in love or looking to fall in love to spend some quality time together. If the news is to be believed, it looks like “The Bachelor” stars Victoria Fuller and Chris Soules may be quarantining together.
According to Cosmopolitan, Victoria Fuller from Season 24 of “The Bachelor” and Chris Soules from Season 19 are supposedly dating. Quoting the Twitter account Reality Steve, Cosmopolitan says that the pairing was an unexpected one, but that it appears that Fuller and Soules are spending a week together in Iowa.
Fuller is a particularly controversial contestant of the reality series, who had been publicly criticized because she modeled for a clothing line that was known for using the phrase “White Lives Matter.” Her time on her season was also characterized by the accusation of her being a homewrecker.
Chris Soules, on the other hand, was a fan favorite when he first appeared on the tenth season of “The Bachelorette.” He was such a favorite that he became the Bachelor of the show’s 19th season, with him ending up proposing to Whitney Bischoff. The couple, however, ended up breaking the engagement.
Both Fuller and Soules have also had run-ins with the law, specifically for driving while intoxicated. This commonality was something that fans of “The Bachelor” franchise clung to, according to Newsweek. Fans did not like the new pairing at all.
In tweets collected by the publication, jokes were constantly made about how the couple both like to drink and drive, that the two were a “trainwreck,” and that it was “love after lockup.”
Fuller and Soules aren’t the only celebrities that have been loving on each other during this time of the pandemic. Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson were both spotted walking arm in arm in their Malibu neighborhood. Rupert Grint and his partner Georgia Groome were also spotted shopping for supplies in North London, which inadvertently lead to the confirmation of Groome’s pregnancy.
Quarantining together may be something that these celebrities will be doing for a bit longer, as coronavirus cases around the world continue to rise. Worldwide, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is at 1,914,916 people, according to the Apr. 15 situation report provided by the World Health Organization. Of those confirmed cases, 70,082 are new. COVID-19 has now killed 123,010 people around the world. New deaths account for 5,989 of those numbers.
In the United States, 605,390 people have been confirmed positive for the coronavirus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention update for Apr. 15. Fatalities are now at 24,582 people.
