‘Bachelor in Paradise’ alums Joe Amabile, Serena Pitt get married

Joe Amabile — AKA “Grocery Store Joe” — and Serena Pitt got married Thursday at New York City’s City Hall.

The “Bachelor in Paradise” couple stunned fans when they posted an Instagram video of their nuptials nearly one year before their original wedding day next September.

“JUST MARRIED !!” Pitt and Amabile captioned their joint announcement on Thursday. “We are still having a wedding this September but who doesn’t want to get married twice!”

The lovebirds also shared a full one-minute and fifty-second video of the ceremony — which Natasha Parker, who co-hosts the podcast “Click Bait” with Amabile, filmed as their witness — on their YouTube channel.

In the video, fans could see the legal presider asking them to say “I do” as they held hands and wore face masks.

After they were pronounced legally married, the couple tore off their masks and embraced each other with a hug and several kisses.

The couple wanted to have a private moment for themselves as they plan their wedding.

Neither Pitt, 25, nor Amabile, 26, went with traditional wedding attire. The bride wore a cream long-sleeve top with black leather pants and black boots, while the groom wore a navy quarter zip sweater, black pants and white sneakers.

“We have always known marriage was in our future, it just looked a little bit different than we expected,” the couple told People on Thursday.

Pitt and Amabile added that they’re “already planning” their wedding next year, but they wanted a “private moment just the two of us” that “felt so special and intimate.”

Bachelor Nation immediately flooded the couple’s post with sweet comments.

“Congrats you two!!!! (For the record I’m ALL about getting married 2x)❤️❤️❤️,” host Jesse Palmer, who had a second wedding to Emely Fardo in France two years after eloping in Connecticut, commented.

Prior to their relationship, Amabile dated Kendall Long for more than a year after meeting on Season 5 of “BIP.” Pitt competed on Matt James’ season of “The Bachelor” but infamously dumped him.

Ex-QB Jesse Palmer starring host of ‘The Bachelor’ franchise

Former NFL pro Jesse Palmer says hosting “The Bachelor” franchise is a like playing quarterback.

“You’re just trying to avoid the drama at all times,” the ex-Giant told The Post. “It’s like trying not to get sacked.”

On Sunday, instead of watching his former team’s season opener, Palmer, 43, will be traveling to Los Angeles to shoot the live two-part “Bachelorette” Season 19 finale airing Sept. 13 and 20 on ABC.

The Canadian native was hired as the franchise’s host in 2021 after Chris Harrison, who was at the helm since “The Bachelor” premiered in 2002, stepped down in controversy after he defended a “Bachelor” contestant pictured at an Antebellum-themed college party.

In 2004, when Palmer became the first professional athlete to star as “The Bachelor,” which was still a new TV concept, he gave his teammates the play-by-play.

“As you can imagine, we had a lot of fun with that,” said Palmer, who also works as a college football analyst for ESPN.

The popular franchise keeps bringing football players back to star as leading men and contestants and he understands why.

“I think football players have a lot of personality. I think they feel comfortable in their own skin,” he said.

And like Bachelor Mansion, an NFL locker room can be a powder keg of emotion.

“You can’t even imagine how much drama there is,” he said.

Although he did not find lasting love on national TV, he did discover it over a decade later in Manhattan — marrying Brazilian model Emely Fardo in 2020. He first laid eyes on her in a boxing class at Rumble on West 23rd Street in Chelsea.

“I was trying to talk to her the day I met her, but I missed my chance and then she liked a photo of mine on social media … and then I technically made the first move and direct messaged her,” he said. “But she didn’t answer me back for 10 days; she slow played me.”

The couple, who just moved to Miami Beach with their Aussie Doodle Mademoseille Loulou Palmer, “would love to have children” and have been talking about “potentially getting another dog.”

When asked if he would want his kids to be on the dating franchise or play football, Palmer said, “I’d have to ask the boss. I’m super open to everything. I’d be down for both, but I don’t know what the boss would say.”
