The Bachelor star Juan Pablo Galavis and his girlfriend Nikki Ferrell have reportedly "barely spoken" since the eighteenth-season finale taped late last year and are already broken up.

"There is no romance left between Nikki and Juan Pablo at all," a Ferrell pal told Life & Style. "He'll send a 'What's up?' text message here or there."
Galavis was allegedly more focused on fame and get-rich-quick schemes such as shooting commercials than he was on the woman who had received his final rose.
"Juan is a different person than she thought," added the pal. "He doesn't seem interested in bringing this relationship forward. He's not making any effort to maintain and foster it."
Galavis is reportedly okay with keeping his distance from Ferrell, who surprisingly still wants to move to Miami, FL, in order to take their relationship to the next level. Galavis, a 32-year-old former pro soccer player and single dad, lives in Miami with his family and five-year-old daughter Camila.

"Juan Pablo would be happier with them having a long-distance relationship," another friend told Life & Style. "When the show first ended, they saw each other every other weekend, and now they don't see each other very much at all."
The friend also told the magazine Ferrell isn't happy with the intimate relationship Galavis apparently had with her best friend and fellow bachelorette Andi Dorfman.
"After seeing Juan Pablo's make-out sessions with Andi, Nikki's worried about what really happened between them in the fantasy suite," the friend said. "Deep down, she's convinced he had sex with her."
Although Galavis gave Ferrell, a 26-year-old pediatric nurse from Kansas City, MO, his final rose, the Bachelor didn't propose to her nor did he even say "I love you."
While Galavis has been hung out to dry following weeks of fans and press bashing him as being the most controversial and disliked Bachelor yet, Ferrell has also been heavily criticized by viewers for her submissive behavior during After the Final Rose in which she seemed to just nod her head when Galavis spoke on her behalf.

Despite Ferrell's friends insisting her relationship with Galavis is over, The Bachelor star told People they're just starting out and looking forward to getting to know one another much better.
Galavis also shared a video reel of his sweetest moments with Ferrell this week on his Twitter page alongside the post, "Amor @Nikki_Ferrell, glad that we stay TRUE to ourselves and we are REAL... This is for YOU."
