Leslie Fhima Says She & Jordan Heller ‘Have Been Texting a Little Bit’ — Hear the Update! tram

   

Spilling the tea…

Bachelor Nation fans got to know Leslie Fhima on Season 1 of “The Golden Bachelor” when she was one of the final women vying for Gerry Turner’s heart.

Although it didn’t work out between her and Gerry, dating rumors about her and Jordan Heller from “The Golden Bachelorette” have started to circulate since they posted a selfie at a recent soccer game together. 

Now, Leslie has gone on the “Almost Famous Podcast” to address the rumor and give an update to hosts Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti. 

During the podcast, Ben and Ashley directly asked Leslie if she’s dating Jordan or if they’ve gone on a date together. 

The “Golden Bachelor” star replied, “No, I went on a meet-and-greet with Jordan… I don’t know if it was a meet-and-greet; I don’t know what you call it. Jordan had a suite at the soccer game in L.A. last week… and he invited me!”

Ben then needed some more clarity and wanted more details on how the invite occurred. 

He brought up the fact that out of all the women in Bachelor Nation, Jordan invited Leslie, and asked if they’ve ever talked before.

To which Leslie responded, “I mean, we have been texting a little bit.” 

She then talked about how she watched “The Golden Bachelorette” with an “intriguing eye” and was drawn to Jordan.

“I liked Jordan when I was watching the show. I liked him the best for me,” Leslie said. “I think all of the guys are great. I’m just saying, if it was me, if I was the Golden Bachelorette and he was on that show, um, you know, you know how you think. But what’s good for me isn’t gonna be right for Joan or whoever else. I think that’s the beauty of those men. I think they appeal to certain women, and I like that. Hopefully there’ll be some connections.”

The Bachelor Nation star then expanded on how she and Jordan have discovered they share a lot of things in common. 

“Jordan, I feel like we have a lot in common. I know that he’s funny. I love funny. He lives in Chicago, I live in Minneapolis. He even has a dog, I have a dog. I mean, stuff like that’s important. And we’re both Jewish, and at the end of the day, that’s important to me as well. 

It’s not a hard stop… but I mean if you meet someone and they are your faith, that’s just icing on the cake,” she said. 

Ben and Ashley then asked Leslie if she and Jordan have been in communication at all since their meetup in L.A., and she confirmed they have. 

“We have texted, yeah. I mean not a ton, but a little bit,” she admitted. “For me, I don’t know where it would go, if it’s gonna go. I just think he’s a great guy and to be friends with him first is fine with me. I don’t need to jump into anything. He’s got a whole year of this ride and 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. But I’m here as a friend and… he knows where I am. But I mean, you do have a common bond when it comes to that… So, I don’t know. I don’t know, we’ll see.”

Well, no matter what happens with Jordan and Leslie, we’re so glad to hear that they’ve become such great friends and love seeing them look so happy together!

We will keep you posted if we hear more from this *potential* Golden couple.
