The Bachelor heartthrob Joey Graziadei reveals the syndrome that turned his eyes YELLOW
03/03/2024
The Bachelor heartthrob Joey Graziadei has lifted the veil on the mysterious syndrome that caused his eyes to look yellow.
Bachelor Nation has been swooning over Joey, but many of those who scrutinized his features came to notice an occasionally jaundiced tinge in his eyes.
And this Thursday, in a candid video posted to his Instagram page, he warmly explained why exactly his peepers look the way they do.
‘Hi, everyone, I hope you are having a beautiful day,’ said the hunk-tastic reality star, treating his more than half a million followers to his winning smile.
‘I want to jump on here really quick and talk about something that I am seeing a lot of comments about, which is Joey’s yellow eyes.’

The dreamboat shared: ‘So to give some context on that, 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.’
His bloodwork unearthed a high bilirubin count, indicating that ‘there could be something that was wrong with my liver.’
Further investigation showed that ‘there was nothing that was necessarily wrong like hepatitis but they diagnosed me with something called Gilbert syndrome.’
He assured his legions of admirers: ‘At the end of the day, I am told that I am healthy. It’s something that does affect the whites of my eyes. It makes it have those jaundice levels, which is why they look a little bit more yellow.’
Joey dished: ‘It’s something I want to pay attention to more going into 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.’
He went on: ‘It’s just something that I have to pay attention to – drinking more fluids. It is worse when I have stress or lack of sleep, which happens on a TV show.’
Sweetly, he let his fans know that ‘I do appreciate everyone looking out for me and wondering if I’m okay, but to my knowledge I’m as okay as I can be, and I’ll continue to look at it, so thank you very much.’
Joey burst onto the scene on The Bachelorette last year, winning the hearts of fans and ultimately winding up as the runner-up for Charity Lawson’s affections.

Joey’s gaffes have also attracted a fair bit of mockery online, including when he confused Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ruth Bader Ginsburg
His season of The Bachelor has been eventful from the off, with Joey left ‘crushed’ last week after contestant Lexi Young quit the show because the two of them were not on the same ‘timeline’ to have children.
Then on this Monday’s episode, Maria Georgas saw Joey kissing another contestant and threatened to walk off – only to relent and then get a rose.
Joey’s gaffes have also attracted a fair bit of mockery online, including when he confused Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
He became a figure of fun again on the Valentine’s Day episode when the show whisked him off to Malta and he described the island country, which has been inhabited since about 5900 BC, as having an ‘old-school vibe.’
