Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese from Southern Hospitality are officially dating … but are they married?
Leva Bonaparte‘s A-Team broke down their Love Story with Us Weekly.
Timeline👏:
Joe began, “I guess around February, we started hanging out.” He’s not “been with anyone or kissed anyone since last winter around February.”
They “started being boyfriend and girlfriend in the middle of April,” which was “a little bit before the [Southern Hospitality] cameras came around.”
Joe gushed, “We’re very happy right now.” He added that Bravo fans will see the couple’s “love story kind of unfold” on the upcoming season. It was “pretty fresh” when the cameras picked up.
Maddi added, “We just started dating weeks before we started filming, so I feel like we’re figuring it all out.” She confessed, “I am still uneasy about getting into another relationship or dating or even putting myself out there, so I just feel like it’s going to be really interesting watching that play out and everything.”
The wedding:
Bravo TV fans have questioned the legitimacy of the shotgun ‘wedding’ between Joe and Maddi in Vegas. “I feel like you’re going to have to tune in to find out” if it’s real,” Maddi teased. “I feel like you watch our whole journey from [when] we just started dating to talking about getting serious and taking that kind of big next step. You’ll see that play out and I’m excited because we’re in Vegas when it happens, and that trip is awesome.”
Joe insisted that for him, the Vegas ceremony was “serious” because he “wanted to show my love for her and prove all the haters wrong.”
Although Joe and Maddi are happy in their relationship, they confessed that getting hitched in Sin City was an off-the-cuff idea. “I think everything in our life is spur of the moment, so it’s pretty on brand for us.”
“We’re spontaneous crazy people in the best way possible, but it felt right.” Joe admitted, “I definitely had a lot of a$$ kissing to do over Thanksgiving at her house” since they allegedly tied the knot without either family in attendance.
