Before she made her debut on Bachelor in Paradise season 8, Victoria Fuller fell for former Bachelor Chris Soules amid the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.
“Chris and I met through a mutual friend, Kelsey Weier, who was also on the show — [Peter Weber‘s] final four shout-out.

The Virginia native was first linked to the season 19 Bachelor in April 2020, after fans began noticing that the pair were posting similar photos while in quarantine. One month later, Fuller confirmed the relationship — and her stay on Soules’ Iowa farm by posting a photo posing on his coffee table.
“Farm life,” she wrote via her Instagram Story at the time.
Though they frequently gushed about their relationship, Fuller confirmed four months later that they had called it quits. “I am just living my best life. We went a separate direction, but I, like, respect him so much and I think he’s an amazing man. I just think that right now, I’m in a different place than he is,” the reality TV personality told Nick Viall in September 2020. “I’m not moving to Iowa anytime soon, so I just want to focus on me.
