The Family Life Behind The Bachelor

Joey Graziadei recently opened up more about his family dynamic. Graziadei is a child of divorce but not for the same reason as most. Joey revealed that his parents split up because his father is gay. He also let fans know that his parents co-parented well which did not affect his look on romance.

“My parents split when I was pretty young. I wouldn’t say it was easy. But my family is just an extremely loving family and both my parents were amazing co-parents, so the fact that that didn’t work out doesn’t take away from romance for me.”

Joey Graziadei also expressed that his dad is someone so important to him.

“My dad is one of my favorite people in this world. I talk to him about everything, so when you explain who he is as a person, it’s part of him and it’s something that needs to be talked about more and not so refrained from or worried to talk about. It just felt like the right moment at that time.”

Joey also revealed that he had conversations with his dad before revealing he was gay and why they got divorced.

Fans loved the honesty and vulnerability from Joey. Bachelor Nation is excited to see how his season will unfold. Will his family life help him choose the right woman? What do you think will happen this season? Sound off in the comments below.
