Bachelor in Paradise alum Johnny DePhillipo allegedly gave another bachelorette his "final rose" after his breakup with Victoria Fuller.

Johnny sparked a romance with Hunter Haag during the first few days of Bachelor in Paradise's eighth season, but he dumped her for Victoria, whom he proposed marriage to in June when the show's finale filmed.

Victoria recently claimed in the press that she had called off her engagement from Johnny a few weeks after they left Mexico, but Johnny said he thought their relationship continued -- with regular communication and therapy -- until mid-September, when they finally agreed to stop seeing each other and cut all ties.

At the November 4 taping of Bachelor in Paradise's reunion, when Johnny was single again and Victoria announced she's in a new relationship with The Bachelorette alum Greg Grippo, Johnny and Hunter apparently reunited.

"He apologized to me," Hunter said during the December 8 episode of the "Click Bait with Bachelor Nation" podcast.

"He actually bought some roses and gave them to me. He just, like, presented one to me outside of a bar. It was funny. So I guess I got Johnny's last rose, in a way!"

The podcast episode was co-hosted by Joe Amabile, Natasha Parker and Jill Chin.

Hunter's friend Jill joked, "You got his final rose!"

And Hunter proudly stated, "Yeah, I got the rose! Yeah!"

Hunter brought up her reunion with Johnny when asked if she'd ever look for love on Bachelor in Paradise again.

"I would consider going on Paradise [again]. It kind of depends on who would be there," revealed Hunter, who got eliminated at the first Rose Ceremony of Bachelor in Paradise 8.

When asked whom it would take for Hunter to return to the beach in Mexico, Hunter reluctantly replied, "So, ugh, I would kind of like to revisit things with Johnny, if I'm going to be honest."

Hunter claimed, however, that Johnny didn't reach out to her at all after he ended their romance.

"I will say I heard nothing -- it was crickets -- until the reunion," Hunter said.

But Johnny's name was splashed across headlines at the time, with many fans thinking Victoria had cheated on Johnny with Greg.

"I was like, 'You've had a lot going on, so I can kind of understand.' But at the time, I was kind of, like, [hurt]," Hunter admitted.

Hunter had been hoping Johnny would check up on her after the show and at least find out if she was doing okay.

"[But] I didn't expect an apology or anything, of any sort," Hunter insisted, "because again, [we dated for] three days. It wasn't like I expected some grand gesture."

Once the pair saw each other in-person at the reunion, she said their conversation "went pretty well."

"He walked onstage and he was just like, 'Hi, Hunter.' That was the very first time that I was acknowledged by him," Hunter recalled.

"But afterwards, we had a really good conversation. He had apologized to me multiple times, just being like, 'I'm so sorry about how things went and how it was so last minute [when I dumped you]. I didn't even have time to think.'"

Hunter therefore determined, "I think he felt really bad for just sending me home on a whim."

But Hunter is apparently keeping her options open in case Johnny isn't interested.

The blonde beauty said if she happened to return to Paradise next year, she'd have "a list of people" she'd like "to explore things" with -- including The Bachelorette 18 alum Rick Leach, who was someone she "wanted to meet, initially."

"But the way things ended between Johnny and me was not ideal, so that wouldn't be an end all, be all, if that makes sense," Hunter shared on the podcast.

Hunter also said she's "always interested" in meeting a bachelor from the newest season of The Bachelorette.

"That's what I kept saying, too, before [Paradise], [that I wanted to meet a guy] from [Gabby Windey] and [Rachel Recchia]'s season," Hunter explained.

"And who did I end up with? Someone from Rachel and Gabby's season, somebody I don't really know anything about. It's nice going in there and not having any preconceived notions about someone. So I'm always into the unknown."

Hunter said she just doesn't want to get involved with liars and cheaters, like the men from her past!

For Johnny's part, he told Us Weekly last week that he's "recuperated" since his split with Victoria.

"I feel like I'm in a good place and I'm getting over it," said Johnny, who was clearly devastated by the breakup last month.

Johnny therefore confirmed he's ready to dip his toes back into the dating pool.

"Hell yeah, I'm ready to date again!" Johnny exclaimed.

He added, "I just want to have fun... But if something comes along -- I'm not looking, but if it hits me, I'm all for it."

Johnny said he'd like to find a girl who is outgoing, positive and a good time.

As for whether he'd appear on Bachelor in Paradise again, Johnny said it "depends" on if he's still single next summer.

"We'll see," Johnny said. "If I'm taken, no, but we'll see."
