Former Bachelorette Greg Grippo talks about his first-ever split with Victoria Fuller

She’s got a great heart, but it’s difficult to see someone go through that type of thing, particularly if you’re in a love connection,” Grippo said in an interview with Talk Money to Me author Tartick, 35. It’s rather difficult to watch. That aspect of it all, I detested. It did help us become closer, and we were able to get through a very trying period in the beginning.”

After almost three months of dating rumors, Fuller—who is well-known from Peter Weber’s Bachelor season—and Grippo first announced their romance in November 2022.Some fans conjectured around that time that Fuller’s engagement to Johnny DePhillipo—whom she became engaged to on season eight of Bachelor in Paradise—and their relationship coincided. Fuller said that they split up three weeks after the conclusion of shooting BiP in July, but DePhillipo, who is 27 years old, said that he and Fuller called it quits in mid-September.

Grippo discussed the constant scrutiny that women in the franchise—particularly a small number of them—face no matter what they do. Regarding his Bachelor Nation coworkers, Grippo said, “I think the women in the franchise get attacked, especially just a select few of them, no matter what they do.” “And like, granted I think it goes for a lot of the people but especially I think for, you know, her, she can… anything she does gets scrutinized, I feel like.”
