The source added that although distance is a challenge — Julian lives in Miami and Kraus in Wisconsin — the two “are trying to see how things pan out and are definitely into each other.”

Kraus and Julian’s reps had no comment to E! PEOPLE is out for comment as well.

Kraus and Julian’s paths have almost crossed on camera in the past. Kraus was a popular choice for Bachelor the year Julian was cast, but the honor ultimately went to Arie Luyendyk Jr.
