Nick Viall was born to Christopher and Mary Viall on September 28, 1980, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Nicholas Joseph Viall would grow to be one of the most iconic members of A.B.C’s “The Bachelor Nation,” having partaken in “The Bachelor,” “The Bachelorette,” and “Bachelor In Paradise!” As one of the few people to ever have appeared on all three of “The Bachelor Nation” shows, it is no wonder why the star has risen to fame and become an iconic member of the show. Nick is the oldest of 11 children (yes, we said 11), and he could never have imagined becoming a reality T.V. sensation. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor’s degree in 2004. After graduation, he went on to become an account executive for a company called Salesforce while also modeling on the side. His fame began when he appeared on “The Bachelor” for season 10 and looked to win the heart of Andi Dorfman. While he did make it to the final rose ceremony, Nick’s heart was shattered when Andi picked Josh Murray. Though the star was heartbroken, he appeared the following season and — you guessed it — was once again passed over in the final rose ceremony! While this star has been painfully unlucky in love, he is currently dating Natalie Joy. Today, you can find this reality star behind the camera in new ways, as he has started acting!

Background

Nick Viall was born to Christopher and Mary Viall on September 28, 1980, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He is the oldest of 11 children. He attended Waukesha North High School and graduated in 1999, where he took an interest in track and field. In 1999, he ran and won the 800-meter run at W.I.A.A. State Track & Field Championships. The love he had for track and field carried over into University, and while attending the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he was the track captain and helped his team to win the 3,200-meter relay. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a double major in accounting and supply chain management. He started his career soon after graduation and worked for a company called Salesforce where he was an account executive. His first start in the spotlight was through modeling and just looking at his photogenic face, we can see why he was so successful!

His start in reality T.V. career started when the star joined season 10 of “The Bachelorette,” hoping to win the heart of bachelorette Andi Dorfman! Nick was a favorite throughout the season, and fans were shocked when he was passed over and the bachelorette gave her final rose to Josh Murray. After his season 10 debut, the reality star returned to “The Bachelor Nation” in the hopes of finding love with Kaitlyn Bristowe, but was again unlucky in his pursuit and for the second time, was the season’s runner-up. He then found himself once again entering back into “The Bachelor Nation” in “Bachelor in Paradise,” where he picked a ring (for the third time) to give to Jen Saviano, but no proposal was made! The star’s last attempt at finding love in “The Bachelor Nation” was when he became the bachelor himself in the 21st season of “The Bachelor.” This, however, was once again unsuccessful, and the star walked away without a wife! Maybe the fifth time is the charm?

Following his time on “The Bachelor,” Nick Viall continued to grow in popularity and has recently steered to the other side of the entertainment industry, becoming an actor! 2017 saw the star appear in his first acting role in the T.V. series “The Coop.” He was also a contestant on “Dancing with the Stars” in the same year! He is currently dating Natalie Joy, and we sure hope this relationship ends with marriage for the happy couple!
