Nick Viall Gushes Over His 'Beautiful and Brave' Sister Olivia as She Enters the Navy
Proud brother alert! Nick Viall took to Instagram this week to applaud his younger sister Olivia as she prepares to enter the Navy.
“Beautiful and brave,” he wrote alongside a slideshow of photos of himself posing with Olivia. “That’s who my sister @olivia11_viall is. Can’t say enough about how proud I am of the woman she has become.”
The former Bachelor added, “She heads off to boot camp to follow her dreams to serve our country in the Navy. Love you.”
This isn’t the first time Nick has gushed over Olivia via social media. The franchise star paid tribute to his beloved sibling in a touching April 2019 Instagram post, celebrating her status as a member of the LGBTQ community.

“My sister @olivia11_viall recently came out as gay and I couldn’t be more proud of her. I’m just as proud of the love and support that my family has shown her,” wrote Nick, who grew up in Wisconsin with 10 siblings, several of whom appeared on his Season 21 of “The Bachelor” in 2017.
“No matter what, my family has always chosen love and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of this family. We have all grown together as a family over the years with our beliefs/acceptance of people and ideas we haven’t always understood,” continued the “Viall Files” podcast host, who currently lives in Los Angeles and is dating surgical technologist Natalie Joy.
“I’m particularly proud of my parents who taught us so much but were also willing to learn from their children as we introduced new ideas,” Nick elaborated, pointing to efforts made by his mother, Mary, and father, Christopher. “We are always growing and always learning.”
