She didn't find love on The Bachelor, but Bachelor Pad 2 star Gia Allemand never once gave up hope that she'd find The One.

The 27-year-old model tells Us Weekly that fate stepped in when she was introduced to her current boyfriend, Orlando Magic power forward Ryan Anderson, 23, while doing a photo shoot in The Bahamas in February.

"We ended up hanging out every minute I was able to when I wasn't working," Allemand says.

As luck would have it, Allemand was soon offered a job in The Bahamas that required her to relocate to the Sunshine State in order to "be flown to the Bahamas every weekend."

Allemand, who recently designed a line a bathing suits for The G Stop, says she and California-born Anderson have been going strong ever since.

"Not only was it love at first sight but it seemed like a touch of destiny. We now both live in Orlando and couldn't be happier," Allemand tells Us. "I think I finally found the one!"

    I can’t stand Vienna or Kasey and I hope they are getting off of the show soon and honestly, I wouldn’t mind. I know some people still haven’t watched the show, but the good thing is that it’s available online for your viewing pleasure at DISHonline. I actually have a DISH Network employee account and all you have to do in order to watch it is sign into your DISH Network online account and voila, you’ll have everything you need right at your fingertips. There's also a ton of other content available for non-DISH customers and anyone can check it out for more information!

    Oh man I never thought I would say this but Gia is shocking me right now. I at one time thought she was nieve moire then anything & Im not a Big Vienna fan but right now she is looking pretty good. Gia needs to own her own manipulation of others.. She is not innocent of that n the least. When she pulls the oh thats not me card when she gets caught lying & manipulating its disgusting. Own it GIA you got caught playing the game & are no better then anyone else. The sugar sweet only goes so far. Your a player too chicky..
