Now, fans ofThe Golden BacheloretteandThe Golden Bachelorare excited after the former contestant was spotted hanging out with another former contestant from theGoldenfranchise.
Leslie Fhima, the runner-up contestant of Gerry Turner’sThe Golden Bachelor, clicked and shared a playful selfie withThe Golden Bachelorettecontestant Jordan Heller, who went on a date with Joan Vassos before being sent home.
Fans’ curiosity is piqued, especially because both stars have returned to the dating sphere after high-profile exits from their respective shows.
Are Leslie Fhima and Jordan Heller dating?
According toLife & Style, on Sunday, October 27,Leslie FhimaandJordan Hellerwere spotted at the Los Angeles Football Club match. Heller shared an adorable selfie on hisInstagram storieswhich sparked heightened speculation of the two dating in real life, but Fhima now claims that she is not seeing the fan-favorite contestant. In an interview on theAlmost Famous podcast, she broke her silence on their rumored relationship revealing that the two are not an item. Fhima said,
No, I’m not dating Jordan. I met Jordan. I went on a meet-and-greet with Jordan. I don’t know if it was a meet-and-greet. I don’t know what you call it.
The former fitness instructor added that Heller invited her to the game. She revealed that they had been texting since attending the game. Fhima said on the podcast,
Jordan had a suite at the soccer game in L.A. last week. His childhood friend is the president of the club. And he had a suite, and he invited me. And I brought my girlfriend, Wendy. I stayed with her for one night in L.A. And there were some other guys in there from the show, and a producer that I love, and it was awesome. I flew to L.A. to go to Dancing With The Stars. I just happened to be in L.A. a day early. It was weird timing. We had been texting a little bit.
Heller’s outing with Fhima comes just a few days after the airing of his exit from the season ofThe Golden Bachelorette.
Does Leslie Fhima see a possible romantic relationship with Jordan Heller in the future?
Further in her interview, Fhima praised Heller and admitted that she would have chosen Jordan if she were the Golden Bachelorette.
I liked Jordan when I was watching the show. I liked him the best for me. I think all the guys are great. I’m just saying if it was me, if I was the Golden Bachelorette, and he was on that show, you know how you think. But what’s good for me isn’t gonna be right for Joan or whoever else. I think that’s the beauty of those men. I think they appeal to certain women. And I like that. Hopefully, there will be some connections.
Nonetheless, Leslie has concerns about dating Jordan right after his stint onThe Golden Bachelorette. The star adds,
Since the meet-up, we have texted. Not a ton, but a little bit. For me, I don’t know where would it go if it’s gonna go. I just think he’s a great guy, and to be friends with him first is fine with me. And you know that kind of thing. I don’t need to jump into anything.
While Heller failed to put down his walls on the show, even Fhima didn’t win Turner’s heart.
Gerry Turner eliminated Leslie Fhima onThe Golden Bachelor
Fhima, the runner-up contestant inThe Golden Bachelor, endeared many with her personality, genuineness, and a storyline that many connected with. Nevertheless, her journey was cut short as she was sent home by Gerry Turner.

Following her exit, Turner proposed to Nist on stage, in front of all the contestants. In an interview on theAlmost Famouspodcast, Fhima revealed that this moment did not sit well with her. After all, for Fhima, the place where Turner and Nist began their romance was the same place where she had tragically lost out on her second chance at love.
It was a little uncomfortable during the ceremony when they were talking about Costa Rica, because I was there too.It was probably the only time it was really uncomfortable for me, and seeing Theresa so happy really, kind of, just took that away anyhow.
While the former fitness instructor had reasons to feel mistreated, those sentiments likely evaporated after the truth concerning Turner, his lies, and the rather hasty divorce surfaced.
Leslie Fhima’s past relationships and marriages
Long before appearing onThe Golden Bachelor, Fhima revealed that she dated Prince as a teenager. She said that her cousin Bobby Z, Prince’s drummer, played the matchmaker and the two hit it off. Leslie has revealed that Prince even wrote his 1979 hitSexy Dancerallegedly keeping her in mind (viaPEOPLE). Fhima explained further in detail how she met Prince onthe Bachelor Happy Hourpodcast. Fhima revealed,
Every time, you know, he’d be in a city — especially like in L.A. at the Forum — he drove the limo up that ramp, and all the girls saw me get into the limo, and then he’d be writing me these amazing letters throughout my time in the Ice Follies.
Their love story had to be cut short when Fhima decided to join the Ice Follies, with her career being her top priority at the time. Leslie has been married to other men in her two marriages. She was at first married to Brad, with whom she is still on good terms, though the age difference forced them to grow apart.

Fhima divorced her ex-husband David Fhima in 1994 but the two got back together. After that in the year 1998, it was Leslie who filed a divorce case against David bringing curtains to their marriage.
The couple shared two kids and reports revealed that the couple fought over child custody and finances. In 1999, their divorce was finalized and David was required to make child support payments of $340 to Leslie for the first six months following their separation (viaCheatsheet).
What will Leslie Fhima and Jordan Heller’s relationship mean?
