Nick Viall hit the New York Fashion Week (NYFW) red carpet with a model who's rumored to be his new girlfriend, Kelly Thomas. However, new reports claim that the former "The Bachelorette" contender is still head over heels in love with his ex-girlfriend, Andi Dorfman.
According to International Business Times, sources revealed that Viall, 34, had a run-in with Dorfman, 28, at the NYFW and he couldn't help but keep close to the former Assistant District Attorney. When they met at the Badgley Mischka show, the insiders claimed that Nick, who was just some feet away from Andi, appeared very desperate to get her attention. However, Dorfman reportedly showed that she's not at all interested in her former flame.
After their brief encounter, Movie News Guide reports that the 34-year-old Viall wrote a cryptic message on Twitter, referring to his ex-love. The reality TV actor confessed how much he misses that "someone." "The Bachelorette" fans immediately speculated that the tweet was a shoutout to Dorfman.
As the run-in rumors of Viall and Dorfman at the fashion week have stirred speculations, the former "Bachelorette" suitor cleared up rumors that he didn't see Dorfman during the recent event. He claimed he's not following her on Twitter and he was not aware that she was going to be at the Badgley Mischka event. He also said that he never saw her at the fashion show.
"I didn't even know she was there," Viall tells Entertainment Online. "We didn't run into each other. We weren't even by each other."
Right after the NYFW event on Tuesday, the businessman-turned-reality star was seen with his rumored girlfriend Thomas at the Kenneth Cole store opening in Manhattan's Bowery. However, Viall claimed that he and the model are only friends. They reportedly both have contracts with Wilhelmina modeling agency and have just known each other for a month. Viall added that she's from Chicago and he's based in New York.
"She's not my girlfriend," Viall claimed. "She's definitely a friend. She's an awesome girl."
