Joe Amabile

Joe Amabile is a reality television personality recognized for his appearances on Bachelor Nation franchise series, including The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise. Known also by the moniker Grocery Store Joe Amabile, he has built a public following through his television roles and social media presence.

In 2026, Amabile disclosed a serious medical situation after an elective Prenuvo full-body scan revealed an abnormal lesion roughly the size of a blueberry on his brain. Doctors subsequently performed brain surgery to extract the suspected tumor. The surgical procedure targeted a critical region of his brain responsible for regulating essential functions, including vocal speech, overall motor skills, and memory retention.

Following his operation, Amabile publicly documented his post-surgery milestones and physical recovery. His updates included sharing video footage of getting 23 staples removed from his scalp, recorded by his wife Serena Pitt, as well as participating in a television interview to discuss his speech recovery challenges and display his healing scars.
