The latest couple spawned from "The Bachelor," Juan Pablo Galavis and Nikki Ferrell, is once again denying reports that they are no longer dating.

Galavis was spotted in late July chatting up another woman in Atlantic City, New Jersey, People magazine reported. Ferrell was not seen in the city, and sources claimed the couple broke up.

The reality stars tell a different story, however.

"We're doing great," Ferrell said in an interview with People magazine this week. "We are very happy together."

According to Galavis, 32, he tries not to pay attention to the negative rumors he and his girlfriend have faced since becoming an item.

"People are going to say what they want to say," he said. "I can't pay attention to that. I don't like to read what people write because they don't know what our relationship is all about."

Ferrell, on the other hand, has had a more difficult time ignoring the bad press and gossip.

"He does a better job of ignoring it than I do," the 27-year-old said. "I read what people say, and it does hurt my feelings. I'm only human. But really, we are happy and doing well."

In fact, the reality couple is so happy that they spent the past weekend together in Celebration, Florida participating in Hearts of Reality, a fundraiser for Give Kids the World. With Ferrell being a pediatric nurse and Galavis being a father (his daughter Camila is five-years-old), a charity benefitting children was mutually important.

"I work with these types of children every day, so it's near and dear to my heart," Ferrell said. "I'm very fortunate to be in the position that I'm in, and I don't take it for granted. I want to do anything I can do to help."

"As a father, I know how important this charity is," Galavis said. "I'm really happy to help, and it's the right thing to do. This is what's important. This is what matters. Not everything else."
