Fans would expect a show like Bachelor in Paradise to be full of drama. But this season, much of the drama happened after the season wrapped. Victoria Fuller and Johnny DePhillipo ended the season as an engaged couple, but the pair went their separate ways just a month after filming wrapped in June.
More recently, Victoria has been spotted with Greg Grippo, a contestant from season 17 of The Bachelorette . These sightings started rumors that the two had been seeing one another for months before Victoria had officially called it quits with Johnny. During the BIP finale reunion, the two took the stage to address the rumors.
