Joey Graziadei has been announced as the new Bachelor for season 28 of the iconic dating reality show, The Bachelor. The announcement was made during The Bachelorette season 20 finale, where host Jesse Palmer confirmed Joey as the new star. Many expected the next suitor to be one of Charity Lawson's final two men: Joey or Dotun Olubeko. Since Dotun got engaged to Charity, that left Joey as the obvious choice.

"It's definitely surreal," Joey said. "It's sinking in very slowly, but I'm trying my best to just stay present and enjoy it. But it's crazy. This is wild. I never expected this at all. Crazy stuff, but exciting."

The full trailer for the upcoming season of The Bachelor was released on December 7, teasing an "unprecedented" and "shocking" ending to Joey's journey. Hollywood Life has all the latest news about The Bachelor season 28 that you need to know.
