Nicholas Joseph "Nick" Viall is an American reality television star who had a starring role on the twenty-first season of ABC's The Bachelor, after finishing as runner up in two consecutive seasons of The Bachelorette.
Viall was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Christopher and Mary Viall, but raised in nearby Waukesha. He is the second of eleven children. He graduated at Waukesha North High School in 1999, where he excelled in track and field including winning the 800-meter run at WIAA State Track & Field Championships. He then attended University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee where he was a captain of the Milwaukee Panthers, in which he set a school record for the 3,200-meter relay run, and graduated with a double major in accounting and supply chain management.
Viall first appeared as a contestant in the ABC reality show The Bachelorette in 2014, as one of Andi Dorfman's suitors. On the first night, he received the first impression rose. In the final dates, he confessed his love for Andi as one of the final two bachelors, but left heartbroken when Andi chose Josh Murray to receive the final rose.
In 2015, Viall returned for a second chance in the following season ofThe Bachelorette, when he was a guest in the fourth week at the New York City date with Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe. He asked her to give him a chance, and she accepted his request to be part of the cast. Like the previous season, he made it to the final rose ceremony, but ended in proposal rejection when Kaitlyn chose Shawn Booth.
Viall returned to reality TV once again as a part for the third season in Bachelor in Paradise. In the second episode, when he was asked on a date by The Bachelor season 20 contestant Leah Block, Viall accepted. Viall later asked fellow contesant Amanda Stanton on a date, much to Block's annoyance. After Stanton began a relationship with contestant Josh Murray, Viall went on to date Jen Saviano. The relationship between Saviano and Viall appeared to be progressing well, with Viall selecting an engagement ring with Neil Lane for a third time. However, at the final ceremony, Viall said, "I wanted to say I was in love with you, but something in my heart just said I can't," resulting in no proposal.
