Does Joey get engaged on 'The Bachelor' season 28? What we know

23 Jan 2024

As lead of "The Bachelor" season 28, Joey Graziadei has dozens of women vying for his heart on each week's episode. And while "The Bachelor" franchise as a whole usually features an engagement at the end of each season, it's too soon to tell whether or not Joey himself will find his future wife on the show.

In fact, in the opening few minutes of the "Bachelor" season 28 premiere, Joey is shown having an emotional time at his final rose ceremony, which could be an indicator that his season doesn't end well. And in the teaser for his season, viewers see Joey walk off the set of his final rose ceremony in tears, telling producers (presumably) that he doesn't think something like this has ever happened on the show before.

Joey has recently spoken about his journey as "Bachelor" star in more general terms, revealing that he struggled with self-doubt through the process. However, he also told Business Insider that he'd describe his season overall as "romantic," in part due to the love story at its core.

Here's what we could piece together about whether or not Joey gets engaged at the end of "The Bachelor" season 28.

Warning: Potential spoilers for Joey's season ahead.

In a recent interview with Us Weekly's Sarah Hearon, Joey said that this season "tested" him, mostly because he felt uncomfortable being the star of "The Bachelor."

"It's something that felt very unnatural early on. I felt unnatural through the whole process and people will see that. I tried to be as open and honest about that," he told Us, adding: "I didn't try to act like I was supposed to be in this role, or I had it figured out. That wouldn't be me to do that, but the best thing I could do each time, what I kept trying to do, was do it to the best of my ability and just kind of trust that I was doing my best so I could kind of live with everything that comes out of it."

However, in an interview with BI ahead of his season's premiere, Joey seemed to have a more positive outlook on his experience, describing his season as "inspiring," "fun," and "romantic."

"Inspiring, just because I thought the women had amazing stories and how they kind of showed themselves and were being vulnerable was amazing," Joey explained.

"Fun — we had a great time doing it. It was an amazing experience. I know everyone enjoyed themselves as much as they could. And I'll say romantic too — I think there's a beautiful love story throughout, and I'm excited to see it back," he continued.

According to popular blogger Reality Steve, Joey does end the season with an engagement, reportedly to Daisy Kent from Minnesota.

Joey and Daisy seemed to connect on the first night, and Reality Steve published photos of the two on subsequent dates abroad and in Daisy's home state of Minnesota.

While Reality Steve is rarely wrong, it does happen, so there's no guarantee that we'll see Joey and Daisy get engaged during the finale. It's equally possible that there's not an engagement in the finale but that Joey did propose and Daisy accepted at some point post-filming.

Viewers curious about the lead-up to Joey and Daisy's reported engagement will just have to watch the rest of the season of "The Bachelor" to find out how it all unfolds.
