'Bachelor In Paradise's' Joe Amabile Has 'No Resentment' Toward Kendall

"Bachelor In Paradise's" Joe Amabile is speaking out after his former flame, Kendall Long, almost crashed his proposal to Serena Pitt on this season of the reality show. The 34-year-old told Access Hollywood that he has no resentment towards his ex. "I was about to get down on one knee and ask the love of my life to marry me. So, I was really focused on that. Kendall's timing wasn't the best," Joe revealed. Serena and Joe say they're planning on moving in together in the spring.

NO MORE TALKING ABOUT HIS X. PLEASE. Makes it uncomfortable for Serena. Shes in the past and there moving forward!

[@nicholasgarrick7546]

The sweetest couple of the season joe ,and Serena are a perfect together such a cute couple they going to be together for the long haul🥰❤.

[@nitamarie5926]

ADORABLE COUPLE! Their personalities go together perfectly..Wishing them a lifetime of love and happiness .

[@patarp1350]

Won't last unless she moves to Chicago with him like how the breakup happened with him and Kendall with Chicago and LA.

[@lys8573]

I love how they share the same sense of humor and are always reassuring one another. Such a great foundation for a happy and healthy relationship. Also, as Joe stated in another interview, his breakup with Kendall was never just about location. And Joe and Serena have both made it clear that they're each willing to compromise regarding location and to put the relationship first. Wishing them the best.

[@lindaguillot4972]

I love them together! Wow, he calls her the love of his life. They are adorable.

[@sammyytube5999]

I believe that he felt that way about Kendal as well although she often wavered. Joe is one who commits 100 to the relationship. But I agree that this one feels more real given his experience and a ring attached to it. Happy for them.

For me these two were a massive home-run in terms of the relationship on paradise since day one.

Despite the age difference I think they'll work. Serena is quite mature for her age, and Joe is a sweetheart. And when the time comes, they'll make some beautiful little grocery store clerks 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Yes! I found it so unnecessary, was so weird and cringeworthy. It's like how dare you!!! ..lol..like why?..Her speech didn't make much sense..but Serena seems lovely, Joe and Serena are super cute together!! Happy for them!

[@lotus___freedom]

@@Catwoman8100 Yes, she tainted their moment by showing up.🤦🏼‍♀️The audacity to make it about "her closure" She spoke as if they needed her blessing to get engaged, like girlll bye. Such a terrible timing, so selfish of her and embarrassing. I think when Joe went to collect his mind, he figured he 1000% made the right choice.

Yes it's a shame for them to have to be continually asked about his ex, but so glad that they haven't allowed it to affect their relationship. It speaks volumes about the trust and love Joe and Serena have for one another. Wishing Joe and Serena all the best. They're such a lovely couple. Also, it's a shame to see some people have commented the exact same negative thing on every positive comment under this video. Glad that Joe and Serena have such a solid foundation that any negativity is just background noise.

Joe's an old school normal east coast guy. Kendall's a self absorbed freaky girl. They are so not a match.

I hadn't heard her say weird stuff, but the fact she's into stuffed dead animals is VERY weird though.

[@kressten]

Who else thinks that a 2 year engagement is waaay too long?!!!! what’s wrong with 1 year? Like a year isn’t enough time to know someone 🤦‍♀️

[@franziskamaria5157]

Probably because they want to start planning the wedding a year before it happening and they want some relaxed engaged time before that 😊

[@amilehonstein1671]

Wedding planning is alot of work and moving is also alot of work. If they are moving in during the spring and trying to find a city to live in then they should focus on their roots. Once they choose a city to live in then they will have their time to wedding plan. Theres no rush and I think taking the time to figure everything out is healthy. Just my oppinion though!

Don’t hate Kendall but do dislike her action during proposal. Timing was wrong and seemed disingenuous

[@franziskamaria5157]

@@regw.4150 I agree, but that’s just disliking her action not her entire person 😊

[@priyarose3817]

You can also dislike her actions without disliking her. If she hadn’t returned, they wouldn’t have to talk about her every time they talk about their proposal. I hope we can stop talking about Kendall overall, but especially when it comes to Joe. Hope she finds her person.

[@AnabelaU2277]

I just want everyone to realize that this IS a show and there are emotionally manipulative producers behind the scene pulling the strings on these people lol just please keep that in mind! Always! I highly doubt it was her idea to go out right before the proposal to talk to him!! Why would she do that? I give her more credit than that.. I really feel she would be way to smart to do that. I think the devil works hard but bachelor in paradise producers work harder!😉. Other ex bachelor contestant's have said things to allude to this as well.. who even knows what they told Kendall before she got out there... I think she was under the impression the circumstances were MUCH much different is what I heard! And yeah okay, criticism is fair sure i suppose, but I'm talking about the more rude uncalled for comments and anger toward her is what was bothering me.. sorry for the book lol. That's all 😊

[@bonniedeibel1546]

Kendall blew it from day one for a great happy life with Joe! But I hope she finds her man & ends up with a happy life! I think Kendall knows now that she’s made a huge mistake but I hope for her sake she’s able to move on with happiness!

[@patarp1350]

Joe was the reason for the breakup. He wanted Chicago after hating LA. Kendall wanted LA. One thing leads to another, they break up. Now he is with Serena. She is from Canada! Another country unlike LA. Don't see how it would work unless Serena chooses Chicago. Otherwise Deja vu for Joe.

🤣 Was pretty funny to see Serena's smile go away (and his stress, too), and her look right at Joe, when he was put on the spot with the Kendall questions!

[@patarp1350]

Didn't Joe and Kendall break up because Joe wanted to live in Chicago after not liking LA, and Kendall said No and wanted LA? Now he is with Serena who is from another country, Canada, I don't know how he would make it work unless she chooses Chicago. Otherwise it is Deja vu for Joe, because location again will break them up like it did with him and Kendall.

[@rriley4331]

I like him and unfortunately I feel it will be their huge age difference that ruins it. He’s set on living on the east coast, Chicago at that, the worst city for crime. But she’s young and will follow him for a while, but it will eventually come between them.

[@kellyriosrealtor310]

Cringey interview!!! Eek!!!!

[@Cringefest101]

Am I the only one questioning why it was that she wouldn't move. Now they are gonna play house in New York. Then once he wants her in Chicago perm like after kids and she won't budge is everyone gonna attack serena too? Kendall is getting a bad rap here. Now all this rubbed in her face! Yucky.

[@GailFuhlman]

Joe also told Kendall that she was the love of his life too. I just do not understand all the trashing of Kendall they were a couple, and it just did not work out.

[@DS-tj2jc]

Look at a map. Toronto to Chicago isn't that far. And why can't they take their time? Maybe Joe doesn't want to make the same mistakes that he did with Kendall. 6 months back and forth gives them time to make a right choice.

[@regw.4150]

It’s about Kendall’s actions during the proposal- Her message did not seem genuine because of the timing. Why would her ex need her approval to propose to his new love. Her actions during the proposal were wrong no matter how much she was paid.

[@vanillaghetto]

The body language was pretty funny. Even though he is much bigger than her...he was sitting in front, and she was behind him. She was touching him the whole time, and he wasn't touching her.

[@Cringefest101]

Oh serena what you mean yall are gonna date and see if the engagement should of happened? Why ask? Why say yes? Pressure from production. Or lost in feelings and not true logic. Been there done that. This all seems so fake a fluffy to me. Abigail is your person? Lol in a way is bachelor sortof indoctrination of words?? So strange. Hey I love the drama. I'm a drama queen but just in real life.
