Vanessa got engaged to Nick at the end of The Bachelor's 21st season, which aired in March 2017, but the couple broke up less than six months later.
Vanessa and Nick's relationship kicked off with more challenges than the average The Bachelor couple to come out of the show given Vanessa was living in Canada and Nick wanted to stay in the United States.
Shortly after getting engaged, Nick also competed on Dancing with the Stars, which soaked up a lot of his free time.
"After my experience on the show, everything happens for a reason," Vanessa noted after getting engaged to Josh.
Nick, who is currently dating surgical technician Natalie Joy, reportedly said on his Patreon series Nick V Talks Trash TV in September 2020, "If the speed of how you're driving is equal to the effort you're putting in, we were both going 100 miles per hour, but we were both going at opposite directions at one another and it eventually just crashed and exploded."
