Love Is Blind’s Nick Dorka Hints at Breakup With Hannah Jiles By Saying ‘The Bachelor’ Is ‘Next’
Love Is Blind’s Nick Dorka may have just let a major spoiler slip for his ending with Hannah Jiles.
When the Virginia-based realtor, 29, was stopped by TMZ in LAX on Friday, October 11, the reporter asked why Nick chose to go on Love Is Blind versus another dating show like The Bachelor.
“That’s next,” Nick replied. “Come on, America. Vote me in.”
The reporter responded that he thought Nick “was married,” and Nick seemed to cover up his slip-up by quickly saying, “I am married.” The outlet stated that the reality star later clarified his comment by adding that he had “just gotten off a 6 hour flight and a 8 hour work day so he was having fun” with the interview.
The finale for Love Is Blind season 7 hasn’t aired yet, and Nick potentially revealed that he and Hannah, 27, never made it to the altar. When viewers last saw the couple, they both seemed to be on great terms. Hannah meshed well with Nick’s mom and dad, and he did the same with her parents.
Nick and Hannah’s relationship has endured several bumps in the road and some of those happened before they even made it out of the pods. Hannah connected with both Nick and fellow Love Is Blind star Leo Braudy. She worried that Nick might be more of a player than what she was looking for in a relationship and initially broke off their relationship. However, the next morning, she felt she had made the wrong decision and asked to meet with him again. Hannah ultimately chose Nick, which caused Leo, 31, to have an epic meltdown when she broke the news to him.
“Do you feel like I wasn’t as committed to you?” Leo asked in Love Is Blind episode 3. “I kind of felt the same as you because you were dating someone else. I never held it against you. Do feel like I was stronger but because I wasn’t as committed, that’s why? Or do you just genuinely feel a stronger connection with your other match? ‘Cause I can’t fight for something if you’ve already made up your mind.”
He continued, “Hannah, I’m so f–king into you. Like how conclusively have you decided this? Is this set in stone? I wanted to talk to you first, Hannah! I wanted to talk to you first!”
Hannah and Nick both opened up about their relationship in interviews after filming Love Is Blind season 7.
“I think it was very hard with Nick and Leo because I like them both, and they’re very different,” Hannah told Us Weekly in an article published on October 3. “And so I was like, ‘OK, I think I need to make a decision. … Nick, I think we need to break up. I just think maybe we’re just not compatible.’ And then as soon as I broke up with him I was like, [sobbing face]’ so I was like, ‘Maybe I made the wrong decision.’ I just instantly regretted it and I knew. I chose Nick because I just, like, knew he was my person.”
However, Nick admitted he wasn’t surprised that Hannah came back to him.
“I felt like it wasn’t the last conversation we were going to have,” he told the outlet. “I’m just glad she came around because I was ready to talk to her again.”
