Who is Joey Graziadei? Everything you need to know
Joey is a 28 year old tennis instructor from Collegeville, Pennsylvania. During Charity’s season of “The Bachelorette,” he left a good impression on fans thanks to his honesty and openness about his family values.
According to his bio on ABC, Joey is looking for a partner who is “outgoing, caring, and shares his love for adventure and the outdoors.” He is pretty active, listing surfing and hiking as two of his pastimes.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Joey emphasized the importance of intangibles in finding a match, describing it as a “vibe thing” and looking forward to connecting with amazing women who bring different qualities to the table.
Will he find love? We have to wait to find out, but in the trailer for the season, it seems like the final rose ceremony is an emotional one. We see him crying and saying, “I was crazy. I didn’t expect that at all. I don’t think that’s happened before. I don’t even know what to say. I know I gave as much as I could. I’m sick of feeling like this. I don’t know. It feels wrong. I don’t know what to do.”
