Gia Allemand and Ryan Anderson: Dating!

Gia Allemand (Bachelor Pad) and Ryan Anderson (Orlando Magic) are dating! Talk about a slam dunk, or a better basketball/love metaphor!

The 27-year-old model said that "fate stepped in" when she was introduced to Ryan while doing a photo shoot in The Bahamas in February.

"We ended up hanging out every minute I was able to when I wasn't working," says Allemand, who was soon offered a job in The Bahamas.

That required her relocation to Florida - where Anderson's pro team happens to be - in order to "be flown to the Bahamas every weekend."

Allemand, who recently designed a line a bathing suits for The G Stop, says she and the 23-year-old Anderson have been going strong.

"Not only was it love at first sight but it seemed like a touch of destiny. We now both live in Orlando and couldn't be happier," Allemand says.

"I think I may have finally found the one!"
