“The Bachelor” Star Joey Graziadei Opens Up About His Health Condition Causing “Yellow Eyes”
In a recent Instagram video, “The Bachelor” star Joey Graziadei addressed the concerns of fans who had noticed a yellow tint in his eyes during his appearance on the popular reality dating series. The 28-year-old revealed that his “yellow eyes” are a result of a condition called Gilbert syndrome, which he was diagnosed with in high school.
Graziadei recalled a time in high school when he fell ill for about a week and a half. Concerned about his health, he underwent some bloodwork, which revealed that his bilirubin count was unusually high. This led to the diagnosis of Gilbert syndrome, a common and harmless liver condition where the liver fails to properly process bilirubin.
The reality TV star explained that as a result of his condition, the whites of his eyes can appear yellow, resembling jaundice. However, he assured viewers that he is healthy and that Gilbert syndrome is something he has to pay attention to, especially when he is stressed or tired. Graziadei expressed his commitment to prioritizing his health and ensuring that he takes care of himself.
Fans of “The Bachelor” praised Graziadei for his honesty and authenticity. They commended him for addressing the issue and shared their support and admiration for him. Many fans expressed their love for Graziadei and hoped that he would find his perfect match on the show.
Graziadei, who was the runner-up on Charity Lawson’s season of “The Bachelorette” last year, has quickly become a fan favorite as the lead of “The Bachelor” Season 28. Despite the attention surrounding his “yellow eyes,” fans have recognized him as an unproblematic and kind-hearted individual.
As the reality TV star continues his journey on “The Bachelor,” viewers can expect to see more of his genuine and respectful nature. Graziadei’s openness about his health condition serves as a reminder to prioritize self-care and to appreciate the little things that make each person unique. So, while his “yellow eyes” may have sparked some curiosity, it is Graziadei’s personality and character that truly shine through.
