The Bachelor Nation is preparing to see Zach Shallcross find The One in January as a new season of The Bachelor is about to premiere. However, it appears that the fans already has many reasons to rejoice after a former lead finally found someone to give his rose to. Nick Viall has made four painfully public attempts to find love in the franchise—twice on The Bachelorette, once on Bachelor in Paradise, and once more on his own season of The Bachelor—and is now happily engaged to Natalie Joy, his girlfriend of more than two years who notably isn’t from the reality television industry.
The couple confirmed their engagement on Instagram on January 12. In a combined post that included numerous images, all of which focused on the ring, the couple wrote, “For the rest of my life, it’s you.” Additionally, Viall posted one of their engagement images to his Instagram Stories, along with a romantic vow. Writing, he said, “Going to love you forever.”

Former contestants from the Bachelor franchise like Serena Pitt, Jesse Palmer, and Greg Grippo expressed their love and best wishes to the happy couple. Even Vanessa Grimaldi, Viall’s former fiancée, wished the couple well in the post’s comments section. Prior to their breakup in August 2017, Viall was engaged to the winner of his season of The Bachelor. Famously, the two are still close.
The couple first generated dating rumours in 2019 and again in January 2021 when they made their relationship official on Instagram. A month later, Viall described how he had come to know the surgical technician who had been working in the field during the lockdown. In an episode of his podcast The Viall Files, he revealed, “She slid into my DMs.” It was quite passionate. “It sounds so cliché, but she does make me want to be better,” he added, gushing about his ex-girlfriend. Without a doubt, everyone prefers her to me, he continued. all of my pals. With no doubt. And it gives me a little self-confidence issues.
Viall and Joy have been sharing adorable, adoring posts on Instagram, despite originally keeping their relationship a secret. Even yet, on October 3, 2022, Viall referred to their relationship as “the partnership of his fantasies.” I wanted to share with you how lucky I feel to be loved by this woman, he stated in his letter. It was obvious when I first met her how highly she valued earning people’s love. My greatest goal for everyone is that they experience the same kind of love from her that I have been so fortunate to experience.
Viall also appears frequently on Joy’s Instagram. With a little help from a Nicki Minaj song, Joy gushed over Viall in March 2022. No, she wrote, “I’m blessed; I’m not lucky.” She’d been calling Viall her “baby daddy” for a few months prior.
