The latest couple created on ABC's "The Bachelor," Juan Pablo Galavis and Nikki Ferrell, are reportedly happy together but will still dive into their relationship's issues on the next season of VH1's "Couples Therapy."

Although Galavis and Ferrell have been spotted together at various events since Season 18 of "The Bachelor" ended, some still question their relationship. The biggest reason is, despite "The Bachelor" tradition, Galavis neither proposed nor said "I love you" to Ferrell in the show's season finale.

"I was criticized a lot for not saying 'I love you' to Nikki," Galavis is shown saying in a preview of the upcoming show. "In the Venezuelan community, it means something. I mean, to propose to someone, it means something. Am I going to say 'I love you' to Nikki? I don't know yet."

After failing to proclaim his love, Galavis, who was already arguably the most controversial Bachelor ever thanks to his blunt attitude, was attacked by viewers and tabloids, causing Ferrell to feel bad that she "couldn't stand up for him," she says in the clip.

"Just because he hasn't said it to me, doesn't mean that I don't say it to him," she continued. "I don't expect him to say it back when I say it. Maybe one day, he will. In all reality, we haven't been together too long. But he does; he loves me. He's committed to this."

Despite their reported happiness, Galavis still is not positive that Ferell is "the one."

"Is she the one or not? That's a great question," he says in the preview. "I think she's on the right track. Everything she does that I don't like, I'm like, 'Is this gonna work?' It's just a process, but I think we could communicate better. That's one of the reasons why we're here."
