Dating a person who is well known to the public can make it difficult to keep a relationship low key. Natalie Joy has recently learned this thanks to her relationship with former Bachelor, Nick Viall. Nick appeared on two seasons of The Bachelorette before landing his own season on The Bachelor in 2017. Looking for love on TV didn’t work out so well for Nick, but it looks like he’s finally found what he’s been looking for. The couple has officially been together for a year, and they’ve decided to go public with their relationship. Natalie doesn’t have any reality TV or entertainment experience, but she is now known to reality TV lovers everywhere. Keep reading to learn 10 things you didn’t know about Natalie Joy.
