According to rumors, Juan Pablo Galavis has finally told Nikki Ferrell those certain words that The Bachelor viewers were expecting to hear a long time ago.

Galavis infamously refused to propose or say he loves Ferrell during the latest The Bachelor finale, but according to Us Weekly, the Venezuelan stud is finally feeling the love.

"[Galavis] has told her, 'I love you,'" an "insider" told the tabloid.

Despite Ferrell's job as a pediatric nurse in Kansas City, Mo. and Galavis working as a sports consultant in Miami, the Us Weekly source says the lovers talk a lot.

"They Skype and text every day and are in constant contact," the source continued.

Galavis has already used the L-word to describe Ferrell, in social media at least. On March 28, Galavis and Ferrell flew to Philadelphia to see a Phillies games (which ended up being rained out). Galavis uploaded a picture to his Instagram page with Ferrell; the caption reads "Love is in the AIR..................PORT."

In addition, the couple attended the Michael Jordan Invitational over the weekend together, according to Ferrell's Twitter page.

If the rumor is true, Galavis and Ferrell's relationship may have just reached new heights. The reality stars will still have to deal with various negative rumors, however. Recently, Star magazine reported that Galavis was spotted being suspiciously close to another woman on March 27 while watching a tennis tournament in Miami. The woman in question was reportedly Lena Lowell, a 27-year-old blonde real estate agent.

"Juan Pablo and the woman chatted, smiled and shared food during the match," an "eyewitness" said. "They spent so much time interacting, he barely paid any attention to the tennis."

The witness claims that Galavis even put his arm around the woman but was notably "nervously checking his phone every 10 minutes."
