Speculation therefore sparked that something romantic was brewing between Leslie and Jordan.
During the November 1 episode of "The Ben & Ashley I: Almost Famous Podcast," Leslie revealed that she and Jordan have a lot in common and were "texting" a little bit.

"For me, I don't know where it would go, if it's going to go," Leslie noted, adding, however, that she'd be there "as a friend" for Jordan once he finished going through all of his DMs on Instagram.
Jordan therefore revealed whether his friendship with Leslie recently turned into something romantic during the December 10 episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.
"So, no, I'm not dating Leslie. We're not," Jordan confirmed in his conversation with Bachelor in Paradise spouses Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt.
"We met at the Tell All, and right after the Tell All, my friend, he's the president of LAX Soccer Club and he gave me a suite. I offered it to any of The Bachelor people who were going to be around."
Jordan said he got to watch the game in "a really nice suite" with Leslie and other friends who chose to join him.

"So a couple of Bachelors came and Leslie came, and at some point, we took a selfie and that kind of blew up The Bachelor world for a little bit," Jordan explained of Leslie.
Jordan, however, acknowledged that Leslie is "great" and they still "talk a lot."
"I think Leslie is amazing, but we're mostly just good friends. We are not boyfriend and girlfriend," Jordan concluded.

Leslie finished as the runner-up on Gerry Turner's season of The Golden Bachelor and left totally heartbroken, while Jordan finished Joan Vassos' The Golden Bachelorette season in fourth place after hometown dates.

"We talked about how we needed more time. We started a little slow and we just needed more time," Jordan acknowledged of his romance with Joan on the show.
"These guys were rushing to the finish line," he said, referring to Joan's winner Chock Chapple and runner-up Guy Gansert.
"But I was like, 'This is the Jordan Pace.' I would need more time to get over the finish line."
Jordan said if he and Joan had been afforded more time, it's "certainly possible" they could've ended up together.
"It's really such a condensed courtship that you have to throw everything out there, like, 'This is what I want.' Otherwise, it's hard to get to that point, I think," Jordan explained.

However, Joan is now happily engaged to Chock, and Jordan insisted that he's "fine" after his breakup with Joan.
In fact, Jordan confirmed he'd be more than willing to look for love on a future season of Bachelor in Paradise.
"Oh yeah, I would love it! First of all, I love the beach and I was always like, 'That's the best venue.' You get on the beach, you're cocktailing more, and there's more people on the beach, obviously, to interact with," Jordan said.
"We're not fighting for the same person, of either sex, and so I think it would be fantastic."

Jordan claimed that, unlike one's experience in Paradise, there is simply "not a lot of time to break those barriers down" during a stint on a regular season of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette.
As far as his type goes, Jordan said he doesn't really have one.
"I don't know that I have a type, specifically. It's more about an energy, I think," Jordan shared.
"Joan has a great energy, and she's obviously really beautiful. What attracted me to her is that she's also super family oriented, which I'm all about my family."
Jordan said looks-wise and intelligence-wise, Joan has a lot to offer.
"And energy-wise, I thought she was the full package, without a doubt," he added.

"All of the guys there, I think, had the same idea -- that Joan was really spectacular, and that's why we were there!"
Leslie admitted on Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti's podcast that Jordan is definitely her type.
"I like Jordan. When I was watching the show I liked him the best, for me," Leslie said last month.
"Let's say for me, I thought all the guys were great. If it was me, if I was the Golden Bachelorette and he was on that show, you know, you know how you think. But what's good for me isn't going to be right for Joan or whoever else."
Leslie also gushed about how Jordan is funny and they're both Jewish dog lovers.
"I just think he's a great guy and to be friends with him first is fine with me," Leslie explained.
"I don't need to jump into anything, and he's got a whole year of this ride. I want him to enjoy it and I want him to experience it, and I don't want to get in the way of that... I don't know. We'll see."
