Joey Graziadei Promoting Ilona Maher For Bachelorette
Bachelor Joey Graziadei is fully on board and in agreement with America that Ilona Maher might be perfect to be the next Bachelorette. The Olympic Rugby player has proven herself on Dancing With the Stars and earned herself a spot in the finals with pro dancer Alan Bersten.
She has been asked numerous times about possibly becoming The Bachelorette. She doesn’t seem opposed to the idea and even said that after their semifinal dance, she had execs from The Bachelor approach her.
At first, Ilona said they were probably there for Joey but then confirmed they were looking for her and wanted to chat. Joey was asked again about what he thought about Ilona getting the leading role.
He said in one interview that Ilona is great and is a superstar. He went on to say that she can do anything she wants to and will succeed at it. As for advice he would give her, he said absolutely none. Joey said again she’s a superstar and she will figure things out without anyone’s help. He supports her in whatever she decides to do.
He also spoke to Entertainment Tonight and was asked again if Ilona has what it takes to be the lead. Joey said she can be anything she wants. Even if she wanted to be President he would support her. When asked if he was going to speak to execs about her, he said it was up to her. If she wants to do it then he would support it and put in a good word. The ball seems to be in her court.
Joey Graziadei Made Bachelor History
Joey Graziadei made Bachelor history on Tuesday night when he made it to the finals on Dancing With the Stars. Other Bachelorettes have made it to the finals and even won but never one of the men.

Joey along with Ilona and three other couples will compete in the finals next week.
