Rachel Bilson Was Asked If She and Nick Viall Are Dating, and She Didn't Shut the Rumor Down
Rachel Bilson is the third celebrity this fall to be romantically linked to a former Bachelorette/Bachelor contestant, and she isn't exactly denying the Nick Viall dating rumors.
Bilson and Viall first sparked speculation they could be dating after Bilson appeared on his Viall Files podcast in July. The two started leaving flirty comments on the other's Instagram (comments like "cute dress" etc.), and eagle-eyed fans noticed and started questioning whether the two really are more than just friends.
Bilson was with Jaime King, Bilson's close friend and former Hart of Dixie co-star, when she was asked by a Us Weekly reporter about her and Viall on the Freeze HD Gala red carpet.
King spoke about what Bilson is looking for in a partner: “I’m way protective of her. I want someone that loves her, adores her [and] cherishes her. Someone that is funny, brilliant and smart. Someone who is enthusiastic, an extrovert but also a domestic because she likes to stay at home, someone that really understands what she loves and supports her with the kind of loyalty that she supports others.”
Bilson joked that was her "dating resume," but got a little flustered when she was asked about whether she was dating Viall now.
“I don’t want to talk about it,” she said playfully.
King added, “That’s private; we’ll keep that private, for now.”
Bilson and Viall are just one of fall's potential celeb meets Bachelor/Bachelorette star couples. Demi Lovato and Mike Johnson have gone on dates, and Gigi Hadid and Tyler Cameron sparked dating rumors in August. Cameron has since been calling Hadid his "friend" in interviews, but he did accompany her, her sister Bella Hadid, and her brother Anwar Hadid and his girlfriend Dua Lipa to the Hadids' grandmother's funeral in the Netherlands.
