Joey Graziadei's season of The Bachelor is coming to an end, and the Season 28 star has already formed some strong bonds with his remaining women. Earlier, contestant Daisy Kent, 25, proved herself one to watch when she pulled up in a truck towing a Christmas tree (a nod to her time spent at a Christmas tree farm childhood homage, modeled after Taylor Swift).
"Her soft-spoken demeanor just draws you in and it's charming," Joy said in a confessional. "I was fascinated by it. I wanted to know more."
In fact, Joey learns a lot more in the coming episodes, including the season's first one-on-one date, where Daisy talks about her medical history and cochlear implants. She also discussed her decision to start Listen to Your Heart, a non-profit organization for children going through similar experiences.
The couple's bond has only grown stronger since then, with Joy saying Daisy's resilience is an important trait in a partner. "After tonight's first date, I can see Daisy being the person I end up with when this is all over," he said. "It's exciting."
But beyond what fans see on screen, are there other clues that Joey and Daisy are together after The Bachelor ? Well, yes and no.
Social Survey
Taking to Instagram, Daisy described 2023 as the year "life changes in the most unexpected ways." It was a life-changing 12 months last year when she got a cochlear implant and wrote a book so she didn't have to be engaged to Joey. But there are other promising clues, like Joey's recent appearance on Kaitlyn Bristowe's Off the Vine podcast after filming.
Kaitlyn predicted Joey's last three women, naming the first one Daisy. "I really like Daisy," Caitlin said. "She's adorable. I feel like she's the healthiest little kid to grow up on a Christmas tree farm? Like, she's like a Hallmark movie. I'm obsessed."
Several fans on TikTok noted that Joey's eyes "light up" when he mentions Daisy. And, well, you're the judge.
"The look on his face towards Daisy says it all! Either they're together or she's the one he's crying about," one user wrote, referring to the tearful finale flash-forward at the beginning of Joey's premiere.
Still worth noting? The exchange occurred after Joey admitted that he was "bad at controlling [his expression]." Last year, Charity Lawson gave a similar "tell" about her final rose recipient, Dotun Olubeko, during an appearance on the same podcast.
spoiler correction
Prefer to skip all the sleuthing and read the grim leaks about Joey and Daisy? They are not as simple as you think. Spoilers ahead.
Reality Steve first reported that Joey and Daisy got engaged at the end of the season in Tulum, Mexico. However, he made the correction on February 27 after another "Bachelor Nation" detective pointed to social media evidence that Joey and Kelsey Anderson were in the same "safe house" after filming.
New Reality Steve spoiler timeline claims Daisy realizes Joey has stronger feelings for Kelsey — and even tells Kelsey as much. The next day, Daisy reportedly told Joey she knew it wasn't her, and they parted ways amicably.
