“The Bachelor” has crowned “The Bachelorette” alum Joey Graziadei as the franchise’s next leading man.
Graziadei will take the reins of the ABC reality dating show in 2024 for the 28th season of “The Bachelor,” the franchise announced during Monday’s finale of “The Bachelorette,” which followed Charity Lawson’s journey for love.
Hailing from Collegeville, Pennsylvania, the 28-year-old tennis pro first appeared on “The Bachelorette” Season 20, where his relationship with Lawson progressed through fantasy suites each week through to the finale. While ultimately going home, he secured a beloved spot in the hearts of many “Bachelor” fans.
Prior to his departure, Graziadei confided in Lawson that he was inspired by his family to find a love that lasts.
