Bachelor Nation, are Nick Viall and Rachel Bilson dating? They just might be.

Bachelor Nation is always churning the rumor mill and the latest thing to come out of it is a possible couple–Nick Viall and Rachel Bilson. I’m assuming everyone knows Viall as The Bachelor from season 21, and Bilson as the posh and fancy chica from The O.C. 

Based on their recent social media activity, it has Bachelor Nation convinced that the two are an item. Honestly, if that really is the case, then good for them! They would actually make a cute couple. Don’t you think?

Just in case you don’t know, Viall has been a Bachelor Nation veteran for quite some time and proposed to Vanessa Grimaldi during his season as the lead man. Unfortunately, the couple broke up the following August. Fast forward to now, it appears that Bilson could have his heart.

During an interview with US Weekly, Bilson was put on the spot about these rumors, and she had a rather…interesting response.

"I don’t want to talk about it."

Alrighty, then. But apparently it got more interesting when her BFF Jaime King said, “That’s private; we’ll keep that private, for now.” Does anyone care to dissect and analyze these comments? As Cosmopolitan put it, there isn’t any denial here, but there also isn’t any confirmation.

All we really have to go off of are their flirty comments to one another on Instagram.

Like on this post, for example. Nick Viall commented, “Nice mountains”. Is that a literal statement or some sort of innuendo? That’s for them to know and for us to speculate.

Okay, okay. This one is taking things to the next level with Bilson’s response being, “He slid into her…dms. #Sheaccepted.” If this doesn’t make things glaringly obvious then I don’t know what does!

Neither Viall nor Bilson have officially confirmed their possible relationship, but with how Bachelor Nation works, it is only a matter of time before we find out one way or another.
