Nick Viall Tells Ali Fedotowski That Kaitlyn Bristowe said I love you
Nick Viall told Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky that Kaitlyn Bristowe broke some rules by saying "I love you" to him several times on the show -- get the details here.

Three little words! Nick Viall spilled some new details about his relationship with Kaitlyn Bristowe to former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky in an interview published on her blog on Wednesday, July 29.

Viall, 34, revealed that he and Bristowe said “I love you” in private frequently. “We told each other a bunch of times,” he told Fedotowsky. “I was very lucky that… obviously, there’s the fantasy suite, but she requested a lot of extra time. We really enjoyed our private time together.”

According to Viall, he was “very surprised” at the time that Bristowe, 29, even said those words to him. “She’s not allowed to say that, even technically in private,” he noted, as seasoned Bachelor pro Fedotowsky nodded in response.

“When I was the Bachelorette, the producers were always like, ‘Don’t tell someone you love them! Don’t tell them!'” she recalled. “It’s a rule. You’re not supposed to say it, because you can change your mind. They say, ‘Don’t say it until the end just in case.'”

Fedotowsky noted that Viall had Bristowe’s phone number before he appeared on the series. “That was the one thing that was different,” she said. “I didn’t have the phone numbers of any of the guys on my season so I couldn’t contact them even if I wanted to.”

Still, Viall told her that like most breakups, he didn’t reach out to her after he was sent home. “The days following sucked,” he admitted. “Every day gets a little bit better.”

Viall echoed to Fedotowsky what he had told Us Weekly on Tuesday, July 28. “As far as The Bachelor?” he told Us in a call. “I spent the past three months really just focusing on moving forward. It took a lot out of me, and all of my energy has been focused on [healing]. After last night, I think anyone would feel really lucky to be considered. It’s obviously an incredible opportunity.”

After having his heart broken not only by one Bachelorette (but two!), Viall told Us that he needs to weigh the pros and cons of experiencing the emotional ups and downs that accompany the reality show.

“It’s one of those things I’d have to obviously spend a lot of time [discussing] with my family and friends,” he said of being the next Bachelor. “But I can’t say that I wouldn’t. It’s certainly something that I’d have to take into serious consideration, because I want to take it seriously. I really want to do it only if I felt like it could really work for me.”

Fedotowsky noted on her blog, Ali Luvs, that while Viall was straightforward with in his interview, he “never once said anything negative” about his ex.

“We talked about how she is a SUPER rad chick and how we have the utmost respect for her,” she wrote. “Although I wish they could be friends in the future, I doubt that will happen (since I REALLY hope she marries Shawn and that would just be awkward if she were friends with Nick). So I can only wish everyone involved the absolute best and happy, happy futures. Shawn and Kaitlyn, if you happen to read this, I wish you both all of the happiness in the world! I truly hope you are able to bond together and years from now, I hope your relationship is even stronger than it is now. It will be tough. There is no telling what challenges you will face both publicly and personally, but I sincerely hope your love lasts. Cheers to LOVE!”
