What! January Jones Once Dated ‘Bachelor’ Nick Viall

January Jones recently responded to rumors that she dated Bachelor star Nick Viall, confirming they went on a few dates.

Appearing on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, the notoriously private actress spilled the tea on her quick fling.

It all started when Jennifer talked sh*t about Nick during his 2017 season of The Bachelor while appearing in segments on Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Late Late Show With James Corden.

That’s when Nick heard about it, and propositioned her via direct message.

“I got super into it and it was one of Nick’s seasons — he did several — and I was just blasting that guy,” she told Dax and co-host Monica Padman. “Nick slid into my DMs and he’s like, ‘I’m so sorry that your perception of me is so negative. I’d love to take you out to coffee and see if I can change your mind.’ And I squealed.”

She initially considered turning down his invitation, but claimed that her sister changed her mind.

“I was like, ‘I hate that guy!’ My sister’s like, ‘If you don’t go, you will forever regret it,'” she continued. “So I agreed to go on a date with him, or to drinks or whatever, and as I met him I was rounding the corner and I saw him and he has a very distinct walk, and I had this instinct to, like, run up to him and wrap my legs around his waist, do you know, like they do [on the show]? I stopped myself.”

As far as the date…

“It was good,” she admitted. “All I did was grill him about the show. We went on a couple dates… That’s all we were talking about really, but I got a lot of juicy inside stuff.”

Some things just aren’t meant to be!
