Nick Viallis sharing new details about his relationship with friendRachel Bilson.
In a new episode of the LadyGang Network podcast,“Brad Behavior,” the formerBachelorstar joined host Brad Goreski, who did some “super-sleuthing” on Viall’s Instagram and recalled seeing a (now deleted) post that showed the reality star getting dinner with the actress back in October.
While the photo may have been blurry, Goreski explained that he recognized the white, asymmetrical Jacquemus dress Bilson was wearing and immediately made the connection that it was her in the photo.
“Where you having dinner with her?” the celebrity stylist asked the reality star.
“Yeah. We hung out, and her friends were there too … a bunch of people,” Viall responded, admitting to Goreski that the photo was of the pair getting dinner together.
A rep for Bilson did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
