A medical mystery solved in High School
It all started back in his teen years when a sickly Joey and his concerned mom sought medical advice. "I was sick for about a week and a half," Joey recalls. The blood tests were in, and the verdict? A high bilirubin count. For those not in the know, that's a yellowish substance that can point to liver issues. But fear not! Joey's liver ultrasound and further doctor visits revealed a harmless truth: Gilbert syndrome. A genetic condition that's more common than you'd think, and it's not slowing our Bachelor down!
With Gilbert syndrome, Joey's liver is just a bit quirky when it comes to processing bilirubin. The result? A touch of yellow in the whites of his eyes. But let's get real – it's nothing a little extra health attention can't handle. "I want to get my health right," Joey asserts, proving he's as dedicated to his well-being as he is to finding love.
Bachelor nation's support and Joey's solo journey
As Joey embarks on his quest for love on season 28, he's not alone. Bachelor alums like Ben Higgins and Arie Luyendyk Jr. slid into his DMs with offers of support. But our leading man is all about forging his own path. "I really am excited to do it my own way," he declares, ready to meet the love of his life among the diverse cast of hopefuls.
