Juan Pablo's season of "The Bachelor" has quickly become one of the most controversial and talked about. The former soccer player drew criticism during the season finale when he refused to propose or tell winner Nikki Ferrell that he loved her.
According to a new report by Hollywood Life, JP has confessed his love to Nikki but wouldn't do it on air because he doesn't like the ABC executives. Basically, it was his way of upsetting them. TV blogger Reality Steve reported that Juan had originally told producers that he would propose to Nikki on the "After the Final Rose" special but changed his mind at the very last minute.
Reportedly because of all the negative attention he received throughout the season and because of Chris Harrison's interviews slamming JP, the Bachelor decided he wasn't going to pop the question.
"Juan Pablo has already told Nikki that he is in love with her. So don't feel sorry for her," a source told Hollywood Life. "She's planning on going to Miami soon to spend time with him and his family, who adore her. "
"The real reason he didn't tell Nikki that he loved her on the finale special was to piss off the executives at ABC and Warner Bros.," the source added.
According to reports, things have been tense been Juan and the executives for a while now.
"There's been tension between them from the start, and things only got worse when Juan Pablo wasn't asked to be on 'Dancing with the Stars.' He was really disappointed and felt like they had broken their promise," the source said. "He also has a lot of pride and wasn't about to be told what to do and knew the execs would be livid if he didn't get down on one knee and propose."
However, the reality TV star's cousin Rodolfo Soules told E! News that JP didn't propose to Nikki because he wasn't ready and the two were still getting to know each other.
