The Bachelor’s Ariel Frenkel and Jeremy Simon are sparking major dating rumors. He’s not appeared in just one of her TikTok videos but two, months after she gave her ex the “ick” while using the app.

They’re from the same reality TV series yet never sparked a romantic bond… until maybe now. The Bachelor‘s Ariel was dumped by Zach during fantasy suites, while Jeremy starred on Jenn Tran’s season.

Ariel Frenkel gave ex the ick

Ariel Frenkel gave her ex, Pat, the “forever ick” after she asked him to do a TikTok trend with her, much like she did with Jeremy Simon. They met after she was dumped by Zach on The Bachelor.

Ariel started dating Pat in summer 2023. However, by the beginning of 2024, they were already broken up. In February, Ariel responded to a fan who asked why she and Pat had split up.

“I made him film a TikTok trend with me when we were first dating and it forever gave him the ick,” she revealed, before hinting that the “beach sounds nice right about now,” referring to Bachelor in Paradise.

GRV Media and Reality Tidbit have contacted Frenkel and Simon’s representatives for comment.

Now, Ariel and Jeremy have been spotted in two TikTok videos together. They could just be mates, but she posted one rather sus video where she talks about dating apps, before showing Jeremy on camera.

She mouthed along to the viral sound, “They just need to put all the [dating] apps on one app and call it ‘What’s Left.’” Then in another video just days after, they were hanging out with Jess Girod together.

Ariel also mouthed that she’d “tried dating apps,” but even after she posted those flirty vids, a Bachelor fan asked if she was single and she replied, “Depends who’s asking.”
