Nick Viall may have left The Bachelor franchise, but his new romance is ready for primetime! Nick's girlfriend Natalie Joy works in the modeling world and the medical world.

In December 2020, Natalie was vaccinated and stressed the importance of staying safe and healthy. "i'm happy to be a part of the process and doing my part to protect the lives of so many people," Natalie wrote. "here's to 2021 with the hope of less pandemic."
Joy counts Modern Family actress Sarah Hyland as a close pal, potentially due to the Bachelor Nation connection with Hyland's fiancé, Wells Adams, per Us Weekly.
