Juan Pablo has finally dropped the three words everyone has been waiting for him to utter to his girlfriend, Nikki Ferrell.

When he first chose her out of 26 other women on The Bachelor in March, he opted out of telling her he loved her and instead decided to say that he liked her a lot. Now, an insider has revealed that Juan Pablo has had a change of heart for Ferrell.

The source said, "The Bachelor star has told her, 'I love you.'"

They are said to be trying to make their long distance relationship work as he lives in Miami and she works as a pediatric nurse in Kansas City.

"They Skype and text every day and are in constant contact."

Their distance won't be there forever, though.

Juan Pablo recently told Us Weekly magazine, "Perhaps we'll relocate to be near each other. We're talking about it. We're talking about many things."

The couple's last public appearance was Friday night in Las Vegas. They strutted the red carpet together at the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational Gala at Aria Casino Resort. They cuddled up on the red carpet and snapped pics inside the event as well. Juan Pablo wore a black suit and grey button up while the blonde bombshell donned a royal blue mini dress, gaudy silver necklace and nude heels paired with a black clutch.They partied it up with the likes of Grey's Anatomy's Jesse Williams, Nick Jonas and Alan Thicke. They also enjoyed a performance from T-Pain.

While in Las Vegas they even joked and took a snap shot in front of a wedding chapel.
