The OC’S Rachel Bilson has sparked romance rumours with The Bachelor alum Nick Viall! Although the two have not made public comments on their current relationship statuses, fans have picked up on a few clues that date all the way back to the middle of the year.
In July, Viall interviewed Bilson for an episode of his podcast The Viall Files, in which he admitted he to “professionally” sliding into Bilson’s direct messages to invite her on his show.
“I knew that Rachel was a big Bachelor fan,” he said. “I’ve been a fan of Rachel for some time. I had noticed throughout, maybe the past couple of years, there was one time I think you might have commented on my Instagram and I noticed it. I was like, ‘[Gasp!] Really?'”
To which she replied: “You didn’t slide into my DMs then. “You could have told me you were excited then.”
Both celebrities posted promotional pictures from the interview on their social media channels. Viall shared a picture of the two chatting, captioning it: “Will we choose to forgo our individual rooms…” Bilson responded: “He slid into her….dms, #SheAccepted.”
The actress shared a picture of herself appearing surprised, captioning it: “When he tells you he’s actually been on The Bachelor shows 4 times…” To which Viall responded: “And you call yourself a Bach fan.”
In August, Bilson posted a picture of herself rocking a red dress, and Viall commented “Cute dress”. The Bachelor star also commented “nice foliage” underneath Bilson’s photo of a plant and “nice mountains” underneath a photo of the actress sitting on a rock.
In addition, Bilson wrote: “Sweet cuffs”, underneath a photo from Viall’s Bachelor days. Additionally, Bilson liked a photo of Viall that showed him staring off into the distance, and featured a cryptic caption: “Checking her out knowing she’s with me”.
So, what do you think Fairies, will Rachel accept Nick’s rose?
