Much like the candid photos you had no idea were being taken on New Year’s Eve, The Bachelor is back to haunt you. And this time, a new unsuspecting victim is out here “finding love,” by which we mean fame and potentially some lucrative sponsorship opportunities: Joey Graziadei. In case you missed him on The Bachelorette, Joey plays tennis—which means we’ll be enduring a lot of tennis-themed puns throughout the season, not to mention the random appearance of racquets for no reason whatsoever:
But will Joey end the season in love, if you will (which I won’t)? All signs point to [REDACTED], so the time has come to get to know Joey’s contestants—starting with Daisy Kent. Just please be advised that an absolute cornucopia full of spoilers awaits you at the end of this article, so scroll down if you want them.
Daisy’s Parents Have Been Together Forever
Minnesota-based account executive Daisy is “ready to find the one” and is fully inspired by her parents’ relationship. As ABC’s bio writer (stay strong, babe 🙏🙏🙏) notes, “She comes from a big, loving family, and her parents’ 30-plus-year marriage has been the blueprint for the kind of love she wants for herself.”
Daisy Is a Hearing Loss Advocate
As Daisy’s Instagram bio notes, she has “profound hearing loss” and uses a cochlear implant. She also works closely with Hear Your Heart, a non-profit that “raises money to fund research for hearing loss and offer financial assistance to those who are equipped with hearing devices.”
Daisy revealed she started losing her hearing at age 17 due to Lyme Disease, but she said “I’ve learned how to turn something really difficult into something positive. My life is so full and I’m so happy, but I want that person to spend it with.”
As ABC notes, “Daisy has been through a lot in life and is ready for a man that will truly put her first. She’s looking for a partner who is loyal, adventurous and family oriented, and will be there for her no matter what.”
She Has Something Major in Common With Taylor Swift
Daisy fully grew up on a Christmas three farm, everyone. So obviously, quick break for this:
Daisy Dreams of Being a Best-Selling Author
Actually, scratch that, she already is! Daisy wrote and published what looks to be a sweet and inspiring book about a “child’s perseverance in the face of hearing loss.”
“A lot of emotions behind this story as I know what it’s like to have something that makes you feel ‘different,'” she explained on Instagram. “I wanted to create something to help kids, parents, doctors who are going through any medical process & show them the beauty in embracing what makes you unique.”
She’s Suuuuuper Into Joey
Like to the point where people are saying she potentially spoiled the season based on this video:
Either way, her friends are being incredibly supportive of her Bachelor journey, flying in from all over the country to celebrate the premiere with her:
Soooo, how far does Daisy make it?
Daisy And Joey Are Engaged!
YEP! Not only did she make it through to hometowns….
And have several cute dates….
But Joey ended up proposing to Daisy in Mexico! Here’s what spoiler sleuth Reality Steve had to say: “Joey is engaged to Daisy Kent. Just like every season, people will question, people will doubt, and contestants will post stuff on social media to throw fans off. Happens every season. This one will be no different. But come finale night, this is what you’ll see. Joey and Daisy got engaged in Tulum, Mexico at the end of the season.”
Congrats to these two!
