The Bachelor's Victoria Fuller Talks Dating Chris Soules, Says 'We're Really Happy'

Victoria Fuller is opening up for the first time about her relationship with Chris Soules.

“We’re really happy,” Victoria, 26, told People about her relationship with Chris, 38. “The last few months have been really special for us. We’re enjoying each other!”

Victoria and Chris have been dating for the past four months after meeting through mutual friend and former The Bachelor contestant Kelsey Weier, who competed with Victoria on Peter Weber‘s season of the reality show.

“She was like, ‘I think he’s single and he’s very attractive, you should talk to him,’” Victoria recalled. “He ended up texting me [in March], and we connected. Some people said he slid into my DMs, but he literally owns an iPhone 2 and can barely send out a text! But if he had, I would have responded.”

In early April, Victoria traveled to Chris‘ hometown of Arlington, Iowa so that they could meet for the first time. She currently lives in Virginia Beach.

“I think we were both really nervous,” Victoria said. “But it wasn’t awkward. It felt really natural. And immediately, I was like, ‘I really like him!’ I felt a genuine connection. And Iowa is so quiet — we were able to just focus on each other and enjoy each other’s company.”

“It’s nice to be able to share that commonality,” Victoria continued. “But Chris got to know me for me, not for what he saw on the show. And I’m grateful the way things ended on the show — it worked out!”

Victoria also mentioned that Chris is “a good one…He’s the best.”

Last month, Victoria and Chris enjoyed a lunch date in her hometown!
