Regarding the network's offer and Charity's rejection, Joey recalled to : "I was just focused on getting back to my normal life, kind of getting ready for what it was going to be like to see myself on TV.

"I was back in Hawaii trying to get back to normalcy, is how I always word it.

"And through that time, I was able to continue to work on myself, realize what I learned, be grateful for the experience, and move on from my relationship with Charity.

"By the time the conversation started and I was interviewing for the Bachelor role, I was in a place where I felt ready."

He added: "I know it’s something that I would regret if I said no to it, and it’d be amazing to be in a position where I can actually find my person.

"So when that question came, it was easy for me to say yes.

"I did put a lot of time into [the decision]. I always try to be prepped for those situations.

"I never want to be surprised by them. I never expected anything, but I was ready for it if it came my way.
