Bachelor Joey Graziadei reveals he’s been battling ‘liver disease’ after fans call out concerning detail about his eyes

BACHELOR star Joey Graziadei has spoken out about recent fan concerns over his eyes.

Over the last few weeks, while watching the reality show, fans called out the major detail on social media - urging Joey, 28, to go to the doctor.

One fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter, "I would like Joey to get his liver values checked. His eyes look yellow and I’m concerned."

A second questioned, "I saw the comments about Joey’s eyes and now I can’t unsee it. Why are they yellow??"

"Joey needs to see a doctor ASAP!! The eyes are yellow dude! Time for a doctors visit," a third exclaimed.

Due to the concern, Joey shared a minute-long video on TikTok explaining everything.

JOEY SPEAKS OUT

The newest Bachelor started his video by explaining that he has seen the comments and wants to address things.

"To give some context, I have to go all the way back to when I was in high school. I was sick for about a week and a half and my mom thought it would be a good idea to go to the doctor.

"When I went to the doctor I had blood work done and the blood work showed that my bilirubin count was very high. That means there could be something wrong with my liver. So we went and I got a liver ultrasound.

"I went to other doctors and they found out that there was nothing necessarily wrong like hepatitis but they diagnosed me with something called Joubert syndrome, it looks like Gilbert syndrome."

The reality star went on to say that he is healthy, but the disease still affects the whites of his eyes.

He continued, "It makes it have those jaundice levels, which is why they look a little bit more yellow. It's something I want to pay more attention to this year.

"I wanna get my health right and make sure that I'm all good but I at least wanted to give some background and let you know that to my knowledge, I am healthy."

Joey explained that he wanted to pay more attention to his fluid intake and the disease worsens if he is stressed or doesn't get enough sleep.

He also appreciated everyone who shared their concern.

'THANK YOU FOR SHARING'

Bachelor Nation flooded the comment section with their gratitude towards Joey and that he shared his story with them.

His video has over 190,000 likes and 3,000 comments.

One wrote, "I appreciate you sharing that."

A second said, "I really appreciate your vulnerability in this conversation. You are not different, you're special."

"Why do I feel like I'm on a one on one with him right now," a third asked.

A fourth joked, "I want to give my rose to Joey tonight, you really opened up."
