What Corinne Olympios Has Been Up To Since The Bachelor
Corinne Olympios may be one of the most notorious contestants on The Bachelor ever. She earned a reputation as a villain on Nick Viall's season of the series, which ran from January to March 2017. But Corinne's life hasn't slowed down since the reality dating show's 21st season ended. From a controversial turn on Bachelor in Paradise to dating outside Bachelor Nation, the model has been busy.
Fans of The Bachelor will remember Corinne going topless in the pool on a group date and her affinity for "cheese pasta," which is essentially just noodles topped with shredded cheese. But Corinne has come a long way since her Bachelor days. She's modeling, she's launched a clothing line, and she's even dipped her toes into the world of standup comedy.
As for the reality series that made her famous, Corinne has taken some time to reflect on her experience on The Bachelor. "I acted like a psychopath," Corinne said to Nick on an episode of his Patreon podcast in August 2020. "I was a completely different human at the time. I tried to do whatever I could to get your attention. Everyone freaked out, but I don't care because I got my time."
Corinne and Nick seem to be on good terms now, and it sounds like she's ready to move on with her life. Here's what Corinne from The Bachelor is up to these days.
Corinne Olympios is pursuing fashion — and comedy
Launching a clothing line seems like a natural fit for a Bachelor Nation alum. Improv? Not so much. But Corinne Olympios is doing both. Corinne has her Team Corn Riot Girls collection with Riot Society, which features T-shirts and hoodies with embroidered hearts and fun sayings. And, of course, Corinne is also modeling, both professionally and in plenty of photos taken at her Arizona home.
Corinne also has an Improv.com profile, which states that she "will be headlining a comedy and speaking tour nationwide in the second half of 2020." That seems a bit less likely with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but it's clear that Corinne has plans to pursue comedy. She did make plenty of Bachelor viewers laugh after all! And Corinne already has a built-in fan base, so she might as well use that to her advantage.
It's hard to imagine Corinne would have trouble filling seats if the reality show headlined a comedy tour. Plus, other Bachelor alums have found success with different types of tours — whether Kaitlyn Bristowe's KB Fall Crawl Tour, where she brought her podcast on the road, or Ben Higgins and Becca Kufrin's Bachelor Live On Stage Official Tour, which unfortunately got postponed because of coronavirus.
Corinne Olympios is dating someone outside 'Bachelor' Nation
In February 2020, Corinne Olympios revealed on Instagram that she's moved in with her boyfriend, Vincent Fratantoni, in Scottsdale, Ariz. "Honey, I'm home," Corinne captioned an Instagram photo of the happy couple. Fratantoni is a real estate developer, and Corinne first posted a photo of the two of them in January 2020, sharing an Instagram shot at Disneyland Paris, posing in front of a castle.
Before dating Fratantoni, Corinne was reportedly engaged to another ex, who was entrepreneur Jon Yunger. But if her recent Instagram posts are any indication, she and Fratantoni are in it for the long haul. In an Instagram photo of the couple posted on Sept. 6, 2020, Corinne wrote, "Can I keep you forever and ever," along with a heart emoji, a moon, and stars.
Corinne may be reflecting on her time on The Bachelor, but she's also ready to move on. And between her new man and her business ventures, she has a lot going for her.
