Joey Graziadei is the lead on The Bachelor Season 28, and we couldn't be more excited! It's been a minute since there has been a season of The Bachelor, and I honestly am so happy that it is Joey that is leading the charge on this upcoming season.
There is certainly a lot to be excited about with Joey's journey, especially given Bachelor Nation is absolutely in love with him. I swear we all collectively swoon whenever he is on our television screens, don't we?
His season is right around the corner, so ahead of it, we wanted to share all the things that you can be excited for and of course, share all the details you need to know to make sure you don't miss a single second of it!
When did we first meet Joey Graziadei?
If you recall, Joey was a contestant on Charity Lawson's season of The Bachelorette. It didn't take very long before we all fell in love with him and he became a fan-favorite.
Of course, the feelings for him intensified after we watched his heart get broken on live television. Charity ultimately accepted Dotun Olubeko's proposal, sending Joey home with a broken heart. Luckily for him, The Bachelor wanted to give him another shot at love, and exactly that is what he got.
Before we knew it, he was announced as The Bachelor Season 28 lead, and the rest is, well, history.
What is Joey Graziadei looking for in a woman?
Back in August 2023, Graziadei was on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast and shared what he is hoping to find during his season--and what he looks for in a woman.
"I am looking for my person. I know for me, especially as I’ve gotten older, there isn’t a type. It’s more about a personality and a type of person. I just need someone that’s willing to be open to taking on life with me. I want someone adventurous. I want someone that’s going to love every day and try to make the most of it,” said Graziadei.
Based on the promo for his season above, I think Joey might have found exactly what he is looking for. At least we hope so, anyway!
What can we look forward to from Joey's season of The Bachelor?
There have been a series of promos released to tease Joey's season, but one connecting factor amongst all of them is...DRAMA! Of course, there would be, right?
There will be tears, fights, regrets, and a whole lot of second-guessing from Joey and his contestants as they try to navigate a wild, difficult, but hopefully, rewarding journey. I am really rooting for Joey, so I do hope, drama aside, he does find the love of his life!
“I’m ready to find my wife, but I’m scared that someone that I’m really starting to express how I feel to doesn’t feel the same way,” says Joey in the promo below. “I want to let go, I want to be fully in it and I’m trying, but I’m finding myself holding back.”
Let's hope Joey doesn't hold himself back too much!
When does The Bachelor Season 28 premiere?
You can tune in to watch The Bachelor Season 28 premiere on Monday, January 22nd at 8 PM EST on ABC. It is going to be one heck of a wild ride so be sure not to miss a single second of it!
