Alex Bordyukov went on a date with Victoria Fuller during the Oct. 24 episode of Bachelor in Paradise. Although Victoria was hesitant about forming a connection with anyone due to her relationship with Johnny DePhillipo, she decided to give it a shot with Alex. Victoria and Johnny were separated during split week, which is when she opted to take Alex on a date, and they connected on many levels.

It’s been quite a while since Bachelor Nation has seen Alex, and he made it clear that he’s looking for something serious out of his time on BIP. Considering Victoria also admitted to wanting kids sooner rather than later, she was glad that they were on the same page about the future. During the Oct. 25 episode, Victoria will have to face Johnny for the first time after her date with Alex. Ahead of the drama-filled episode, learn more about Alex below.
