Jill Dishes on Her Unexpected Connection with Jacob and Discusses Getting Naked on Their Date
Jill Chin is dishing on the drama!
Bachelor Nation fans first met Jill Chin on Season 26 of “The Bachelor,” and she’s looking for love again on Season 8 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”
Now, she stopped by the “Click Bait with Bachelor Nation” podcast, where she opened up about her connection with Jacob.
Fans saw Jill and Jacob go on a steamy date this week where they participated in a full moon ceremony and stripped down to nothing.
Co-hosts Joe Amabile, Tia Booth, and Natasha Parker asked Jill about her spark with Jacob and if she saw the date coming.
Jill said, “My date with Jacob was super unexpected. I remember the first week when I saw him in the leaf, I thought he was a clown and just called him Tarzan. He was such a character and such a goof, and we would pass each other on the beach and just make faces at each other and that’s it. We really did not have any interaction.”

She went on and revealed how their connection took off.
Jill said, “Then one night at a cocktail party, we were having a regular conversation and it was going somewhere, so we decided to go sit down and actually have a talk. We really connected and it just erupted from there. That was a huge surprise. I was not expecting that from Jacob of all people.”
The Bachelor Nation star revealed what she likes about Jacob, saying, “He is down for whatever and doesn’t take himself too seriously, but he also has a lot of depth and is so sweet. If he cares about you, he is extremely sweet and caring. No one had given him the time of day, really, and he made me feel special.”
The “Click Bait” co-hosts had to ask Jill what it was like getting naked on the date with Jacob, especially because Tia had a similar experience on Season 7 of “Paradise” playing naked volleyball.
Jill said, “We showed up and it was right up our alley. We had been talking about the full moon earlier that day. It was perfect, and I love things like that. I love crystals and spiritual healing and he is so open to it as well. When they asked us to get naked, we looked at each other and said, ‘Yeah let’s do it!’ We were just down for anything. That’s why I was so excited about Jacob. He was down for whatever and made me feel good, safe, and special in that space.”

She went on, saying, “I could not have done that with anyone else, it had to be him. It was so fun! Anybody else would have been awkward. Before I said there was no way I would get naked on the show, I wouldn’t have been caught dead getting naked, but it was actually super healing. We were glowing afterwards. It felt like it really worked for us because we felt so grounded. It was empowering to me, honestly.”
And Jill shared that she was even more attracted to Jacob after their date.
She said, “There was an attraction there. I can only speak for myself, but he looked like Fabio like he stepped out of a romance novel. He’s chiseled and gorgeous. How could I not be attracted to him?!”
