Joey first captured the hearts of viewers as a contestant on Charity Lawson’s season of “The Bachelorette.”

His journey was filled with emotional highs and lows, culminating in a heartbreaking moment when Charity halted his proposal and sent him home.

While Charity has since found love with Dotun Olubeko, Joey’s path took a different turn.

He eventually found his own happy ending during season 29 of “The Bachelor,” where he proposed to Kelsey Anderson.

The couple is now planning their wedding for 2027, marking a new chapter in their lives.

After a successful season on “The Bachelor,” Joey made a splash on “Dancing with the Stars,” where he was paired with Jenna Johnson.

The duo’s chemistry sparked romance rumors, but they quickly clarified that they were just friends.

Nevertheless, their partnership led them to victory, with Joey becoming the first male contestant from Bachelor Nation to take home the coveted Mirrorball trophy.

Following their triumph, Joey participated in the DWTS Live Tour, which concluded earlier this year.
