Star magazine reported that the two met earlier this month at a Miami Heat game and could not keep their eyes off of each other.

An eyewitness at the game said, "Juan Pablo and Mayra had never met before, but it was obvious to everyone that there was a real connection between them. They spent most of the [time] talking together, and at one point Juan Pablo whispered something to Mayra and they both broke up laughing."

The insider continued and said that their connection was so strong, anyone who saw them noticed it.

"Anyone's first impression of these two would have been that they make one seriously hot couple... I don't know what's happening on The Bachelor, but it certainly looked as if there was a relationship brewing between those two. I wouldn't be surprised if they saw each other again."

As for the women who are competing for his love on national television every week, a different source told OK! Magazine that he was never interested in any of them. They claim that he had ulterior motives in doing the show.

"There's no doubt in my mind that Juan Pablo is on the show to strictly get famous and kick-start a television career. I think that was intention when he appeared as a contestant on The Bachelorette, and clearly his scheme is working since he's now starring in The Bachelor."
