Victoria Fuller Confirms Relationship with Chris Soules: 'He's the Best'
The rumor mill can now be put to rest, because Victoria Fuller finally confirmed her relationship status with Chris Soules.
Victoria opened up to People about her budding romance with Prince Farming, which began in March. Victoria has her fellow "Bachelor" friend Kelsey Weier to thank for her new beau. Kelsey and Chris both hail from Iowa, and Kelsey encouraged Victoria to start a conversation with him.
According to Victoria, Chris did not slide into her DMs, as some reports initially stated. She explained he first texted her in March, although Chris "literally owns an iPhone 2 and can barely send out a text!"
She admitted she "would have responded" anyway if Chris sent her a message on Instagram. Their romance went from virtual to in-person in April when she visited his home in Arlington, Iowa. She posted a photo of herself April 27 with the caption "Farm Life" and geo-tag in Arlington, giving one of the first few hints to their meetup.

Victoria said of their initial encounter, "I think we were both really nervous. But it wasn't awkward. It felt really natural. And immediately, I was like, 'I really like him!' I felt a genuine connection."
She added that because Iowa is "so quiet," they were "able to just focus on each other."
Their relationship has been moving along at a steady pace, and Victoria told People they are "really happy."
"The last few months have been really special for us," she said. "We're enjoying each other!"
In June, they were photographed at a café in Virginia Beach, Virginia, showing some PDA with their arms wrapped around each other. The restaurant wrote on Instagram, "Loved having the cutest Bachelor couple join us for lunch today! Thanks for coming🌹 @vlfuller @souleschris"

Although they are in a long-distance relationship, Victoria praised Chris for his patience. She explained, "We don’t really have a system, but the amazing thing about him is that he never puts pressure on our relationship or wants to put a timeline on it."
She called him a "good one" and added, "He's the best."
Victoria explained she appreciates the "commonality" that they have from both being on "Bachelor" shows.
"Chris got to know me for me, not for what he saw on the show," she shared. "And I'm grateful the way things ended on the show. It worked out!"
