EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Gia Finds Post-Bachelor Love with NHL Star
May 28 2010, Published 10:40 a.m. ET
Bikini model Gia Allemand was in the final three in last season’s The Bachelor and although she didn’t receive the final rose from hunky pilot Jake Pavelka, her time on the show did bring her love. In an exclusive new interview with RadarOnline.com, Gia dishes about her NHL star boyfriend, the ring he gave her, and how her reality TV stint brought them back together.
Gia and hockey player Chris Campoli met through friends three years ago, but split up after he got traded from The New York Islanders to the Ottawa Senators and was forced to leave Gia in New York.
”It caused a lot of strain on our relationship and we ended up breaking up and I had a hard time dating...so I went on The Bachelor,” Gia said.
However, after the show, the couple rekindled their romance.
“I’m glad she did the show. It made us both realize how much we missed each other and need each other,” Chris said about their reunion. The couple are currently living together in New York City while Chris has a break from hockey. Gia even has some new hardware to symbolize their commitment to one another.
“Yes, it is true, I am wearing a ring on my wedding finger! Chris got me a promise ring,” Gia added about the man in her life. Chris hopes Gia will move to Ottawa soon.
