Corinne Olympios' birthday wish may be coming true!

Days before Corinne turned 26 years old, she admitted to Us Weekly that what she wanted most for her November 11 birthday was a boyfriend.
Well, several days later, the former The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise bachelorette revealed there is a new man in her life during a Tuesday appearance on The Morning Breath podcast.
When asked if she's dating someone right now, Corinne flashed a big smile and became nervous and giddy.
"Ummm, I don't know," Corinne said as she was squirming in her chair on-camera, obviously giving away that the answer is yes.

"I'm seeing someone that I like," the bubbly blonde beauty confirmed. "But I don't even know. I'm just stressed out about it."
Corinne explained that the relationship has yet to be defined, but she's clearly excited about its potential.
Corinne, who found fame when she competed for Nick Viall's heart on The Bachelor's 20th season earlier this year, admitted on the podcast that she was watching television one night with the "guy I'm dating," and they happened to come across a Honda commercial starring Nick, who is an aspiring actor.
She doesn't seem phased, however, by Nick's new career endeavors.
In fact, Corinne said there is "nothing" going on between Nick and herself and they're "just friendly." (Even though she told Entertainment Tonight late last month she'd consider giving Nick another chance).

At one point during the podcast, Corinne confessed that she had briefly gotten to know Rachel Lindsay's The Bachelorette runner-up Peter Kraus.
"We've texted before," Corinne noted.
But fans of the pair shouldn't get too excited because Corinne insisted she would never date the Wisconsin personal trainer and business owner, nor would she want to date anyone else from The Bachelor world.
"I just really want to meet someone organically, and if not that, then through a friend," Corinne pointed out.
While celebrating her birthday last week, Corinne opened up to Us about what exactly she's looking for in a partner.

"I just want a guy that will check in with me even if he's having a super busy day, [a guy with] a good job [who] has his sh-t together -- and just [gives off] good vibes," Corinne explained, adding that she doesn't like "people that are cocky."
"I have come across so many guys that are just way too into themselves and it is just such a turnoff. If I'm dating someone, I'd like to see them a few times a week, especially at night, you know? I think it's [really] important. Especially when you're getting to know someone, to be spending time with them, especially at the beginning."
Following her The Bachelor stint, Corinne briefly appeared on Bachelor in Paradise's fourth season this past summer. However, a sex scandal involving DeMario Jackson and herself temporarily shut down production and neither individual returned to Mexico to continue filming once the show resumed.
