‘Golden Bachelorette’s Jordan Heller Finally Speaks Out About Leslie Fhima Relationship
Jordan Heller became one of The Golden Bachelorette faves as he established a connection with lead Joan Vassos. With those twinkling eyes and a deep dish pizza, it seems that he didn’t just impress Joan but other Bachelor Nation ladies as well.
One that comes up in particular is Golden Bachelor contestant Leslie Fhima. After a selfie of the two went viral when they attended a Los Angeles Football Club game, rumors started making the rounds that something more than just friendship was going on between the two. Leaping into Jordan’s arms in the picture, it’s easy to see why fans of the franchise made this assumption.
For the first time since the viral photo, Heller is addressing his relationship status with Fhima. “No, I’m not dating Leslie,” he said on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast.
The Chicago resident, however, admitted that he talks to Fhima “a lot.” He even went as far as to call the Minneapolis personal trainer “great.”
The two have spent some time together again recently. They attended an All-American Rejects concert alongside fellow Golden Bachelorette contender Pascal Ibgui in Chicago. To commemorate their fun evening, Heller posted a few clips to his Instagram, as well as a picture of him, Fhima, and Ibgui.
Heller’s daughter, Jamie, also took to Instagram to share a few of her photos. Heller reposted one on his story that saw him, standing behind Jamie and Fhima, as Jamie’s fiancé took the snapshot. She also captured a selfie with Fhima and wrote, “Luv you.”
Fhima recently revealed that she was the one who slid into his DMs. Jordan confessed to right now “mainly being friends” with Fhima, who was a bit more cryptic about their relationship status. “We’re just friends right now,” she said on the BachMakers podcast before adding, “Who knows what is going to happen?”
Currently in the friend zone, things could change if they head to Golden Bachelor in Paradise. Not officially a spinoff yet, it seems like the next logical move for ABC. And the two are both ready to hop on a plane to go to a tropical destination if the series gets the green light. Perhaps they’ll fall in love!
All in for Golden Bachelor in Paradise, they aren’t the only alums wanting another shot at love. Bachelor Nation favorite Keith Gordon did have one request. “I still recommend maybe not putting a bunch of us old people on a beach with our bathing suits,” he told Swooon.
