Joe Amabile Reveals Why His Relationship With Serena Pitt Is So Special

They say that when it comes to relationships, "when you know, you know," and Joe Amabile can very much attest to that sentiment. Since he did find love once before on "Bachelor in Paradise," he came to the beach in Mexico in 2021 ready to do it all over again. As for Serena Pitt, the Canadian native was fresh off Matt James' season of "The Bachelor" when she rocked Bachelor Nation by her abrupt departure after her hometown date (via YouTube). This bold move illustrated the fact that she is a woman who knows what she wants and will do whatever it takes to find "her person." And as loyal "BiP" fans are well aware, she certainly found her perfect match in Amabile. 

And the feeling is definitely mutual. When asked what makes their relationship special, he gushed, "There were sparks right away. And the more we got to each other, the more real it felt. So it's just one of those things where you fall in love and it just gets better and better every day." And as for his ex, Amabile — who is known as "Grocery Store Joe" in Bachelor Nation because he owned one when he was first cast on "The Bachelorette" (via The Sun) — stressed that he is focusing on his new relationship, and wishes Kendall Long "nothing but the best."

According to the franchise veteran, he and Pitt are not making wedding plans just yet. "We're moving in together first," he said. And what was it like for the pair to watch their "BiP" season together? "I think rewatching the season with Serena was actually very, very nice because we knew at the end of the day it was a happy ending for us," he said.
