'The Bachelor's Nikki Ferrell: Where is She Now?
By Lillian Marx
No one really thought that Nikki Ferrell and Juan Pablo Galavis were going to live happily ever after, did they? The couple split shortly after Season 18 of The Bachelor aired, and while Juan Pablo is still a viable contender for worst Bachelor ever (he actually refused to tell Nikki he loved her, in case you forgot), Nikki has managed to build what looks like a balanced life in the wake of reality TV fame.

In 2017, Nikki married her longtime friend Tyler VanLoo after getting engaged on a ski vacation in Colorado. The couple seemed to hit a rough patch early on, and Us Weekly reported that they were separated in late 2018. Nevertheless, they were apparently back on track a year later, and are still going strong, if Nikki’s Instagram pics are any indication.
Instead of leveraging her Bachelor fame to build a career as an influencer or serial reality TV star, Nikki returned to her old job after her time on the show. She’s a pediatric nurse, currently employed at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. “Actually went back to that Nurse life post Bachelor life,” reads her Instagram bio.
