Sources Indicate Greg Grippo & Victoria Fuller Split ‘Months Ago’
Despite rumors swirling over the past few months, neither Fuller nor Grippo has addressed speculation regarding their potential split. On April 17, Page Six reported that according to sources, the pair’s relationship is over.
In fact, the media outlet’s insiders indicate Grippo and Fuller ended their relationship “months ago.”
“The Bachelor” fans on Reddit noticed that as of April 14, neither Grippo nor Fuller followed one another on Instagram any longer.
“They lasted longer than I thought they would. But then again I have a feeling they were a lot more on and off than they let on,” one Redditor noted.
That commenter added, “But [I don’t know] if either one of them will admit it, given how hard they dug their heels in with this relationship. I swear spite kept them together longer.”
Grippo and Fuller’s romance was controversial from its beginning. When word emerged the two were dating, it was while she was still front-and-center on season 8 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
In the “Bachelor in Paradise” finale, Fuller got engaged to Johnny DiPhillipo. The two were together for a few months after filming ended. However, before the finale aired, she was spotted with Grippo vacationing in Italy.
Grippo and Fuller’s Relationship Began Amid Drama
When the season 8 “Bachelor in Paradise” finale aired, Fuller and DiPhillipo discussed their split during a live segment. Tensions were high as the two were on stage, and the situation became more intense when Grippo joined her on camera.
Despite the couple’s jaw-dropping beginning, they were inseparable for quite some time. “Bachelor in Paradise” fans would sometimes speculate about potential splits, but until now, it was never more than rumors and speculation.
Page Six noted they reached out to both Grippo and Fuller for comment but did not hear back from either of them.
“Bring back paradise and Victoria 3.0,” quipped a Redditor after learning the two had unfollowed one another on Instagram.
“They always seemed like too much for each other, both huge personalities,” another Redditor suggested.
“Welp… maybe it will be Greg & Andrew as duo bachelors,” a different person joked. “Andrew” was a reference to Andrew Spencer, a former “Bachelorette” and “Bachelor in Paradise” contestant who is close buddies with Grippo.
“It would be so interesting if instead of posting a breakup announcement, one of them just starts dating a new person and soft launched them,” someone else suggested.
Several Redditors made jokes about the fact Grippo and Fuller got matching “Ciao!” tattoos during their first trip to Italy. As some noted, the tattoos still work, as ciao means both hello and goodbye in Italian.
Despite reportedly breaking up months ago, Fuller and Grippo both still have some photos of them together on their Instagram pages.
Fuller’s New Year’s Eve December 31, 2023 Instagram post included a photo of Grippo. In addition, a December 15, 2023 post promoting Max and the “Barbie” movie included Grippo.
The last Instagram post of Grippo’s that included Fuller appears to be from October 13, 2023. That post was in honor of her birthday, and he wrote she was “The one that makes sure to crack me up every single day while simultaneously keeping me on my toes.”
