After two seasons of The Bachelorette and his own season of The Bachelor, Nick Viall found love with Natalie Joy.
The couple were first linked in 2019, two years before confirming their relationship. Viall revealed in February 2021 that Joy slid into his Instagram DMs.
“It was very romantic,” he joked during an episode of his podcast. “We kind of kept hanging out, and she finally got to a point where she was like, ‘I want to date,’ and I was kind of like, ‘I don’t know.’ … She just was like, ‘OK, this is what I want. It’s fine, no big deal, but I’m gonna go do my thing,’ and she did, and I was like, ‘What?!’ … She went and showed me exactly what I’d be missing.”
Viall proposed in January 2023, followed by another milestone that summer: Joy’s pregnancy. Their daughter, River Rose, was born in February 2024. Viall and Joy wed in Georgia the following April.
