During the fifth week of Joey Graziadei's Bachelor season, Joey hosted a paint-and-sip group date. He and his remaining suitors were tasked with expressing their feelings on canvas. Joey drew himself holding an engagement ring. He told the group that the intention behind the artwork was to "take a step forward with the hope of everlasting love even though I may fall."
So, will it happen? If Joey's paint party is any indication, getting engaged is certainly important to him, a fact he's constantly reiterated on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette .
After the season as a Charity Lawson 2023 contestant, Joey said he was excited to get down on one knee. He even met with the collection's lead jewelry designer, Neil Lane, to select a diamond.
Obviously things aren't going well for Charity, but that doesn't seem to be stopping Joey. "I know I'm going to find my wife by the end of this," he said at the start of his season on The Bachelor . “I do feel confident about it because I fell in love with it the last time I did it with the charity.”
Here are some clues as to whether this happened during his run on The Bachelor , the finale of which is coming soon.
Things Joey teased in the interview
While Joey hasn't spoiled the Season 28 finale, his interviews so far are worth reading carefully. He told Extra , For example, he was "very happy" and "had a great time" all season long.
He similarly told Decider he was "very happy with the whole experience," but admitted that the clip of him crying at the start of the season — which appeared to occur during his final rose ceremony in Tulum, Mexico — was Because "something has never happened before."
So if he does get engaged, it might not be a simple proposal.
Buster also asked Joey if she had any wedding plans when she attended her golden wedding earlier this year. "It's definitely something in your head," he said, which definitely supports the engagement theory...right?
However, he responded with a disclaimer: "You'll have to wait and see this season to see if I'll have a wedding." Well, fair enough!
Need any spoilers?
If you want more definitive answers, Bachelor Nation blogger and podcaster Reality Steve reported on potential leaks from Joey's season. It's been a winding journey. Spoilers ahead!
Reality Steve first claimed that Joey was engaged to Daisy Kent while he was in Mexico. But through a social media investigation by one eagle-eyed Reddit user, a new possibility has emerged. Joey and Kelsey Anderson appeared to be posting from the same "safe house," hinting they were in a relationship.
Reality Steve later admitted that his original spoiler was wrong, writing in a February 27 blog post that Joey and Kelsey were engaged. As for the “unprecedented” ending teased in trailers and interviews? The blogger said Daisy intuitively thought "this wasn't her" after her last date with Joey and went to Kelsey's room to admit it before telling him the next day.
