Corinne Olympios, DeMario Jackson Spotted Holding Hands During Disneyland Trip
Corrine Olympios and DeMario Jackson recently sparked dating rumors after the pair was spotted being extra close during a Disneyland trip.
On Monday, the "Bachelor in Paradise" stars were spotted getting flirty in the theme park — even holding hands at some point. The pair, who went to Disneyland with a female friend, was also seen riding a boat together. Jackson was seen bringing his mouth to Olympios' arm in a playful manner as the 24-year-old laughed.
Their close friendship comes as a surprise since the two were previously involved in a huge controversy on the ABC show. Jackson and Olympios' infamous hookup in the last season of "Bachelor in Paradise" temporarily halted production due to allegations of sexual misconduct. Based on their photos, it looks like they have already put their past behind them and are now good friends.

Although the reality stars have been enjoying each other's company, sources close to Jackson denied he is dating his "Bachelor in Paradise" co-star. TMZ reports the brief moment Jackson and Olympios held hands only happened for a split second. The insiders clarified that it was not a romantic hand-holding, as implied in the newly released images. Additionally, the sources claim Jackson does not want his friendship with Olympios to get twisted — stressing he is still single.
Two weeks ago, Jackson and Olympios reunited on TV for the "Bachelor in Paradise" finale. The former castmates faced each other for the first time in the franchise since they exited this summer.
"I do wish we could have communicated, reached out to each other. It would have been a lot easier on us," Olympios told Jackson.
"Even though I know who I was, I kind of lost that. I lost my happiness and my smile," Jackson shared. Olympios also mentioned that she is still trying to recover from the scandal. "I'm trying to get back to my old self," she said.
