Michelle Young explains her history with Joe Coleman in ‘The Bachelorette’ Season 18

Many Bachelor Nation fans have been curious about Joe and Michelle because of their pre-show “relationship.” In The Bachelorette premiere, viewers learned that the lead previously slid into her contestant’s DMs. Then he ghosted her. 

Meanwhile, Michelle and Joe’s romance was called into question by Jamie Skaar early in the season. So the bachelorette explained their history to the whole cast while making it clear that she’s interested in pursuing everyone.

“I was made aware that there was a lot of conversation in the house about whether or not Joe and I knew each other before,” Michelle said. “That first night, when all of y’all walked in, was the first night that I was meeting every single one of you. Joe and I exchanged a few messages quite a few years back. We kinda joke about it now, but Joe ghosted me after two messages, and that was that.”

On Oct. 31, some Bachelorette fans noticed that Michelle and Joe were both at the Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings game. So naturally, a few viewers questioned whether Joe was Michelle’s final pick and they were still together. Then on Nov. 2, Reality Steve denied the theory.

“I know Michelle and Joe both being at the Vikings/Cowboys game this past Sunday night (not together) had the speculation running rampant, but there’s nothing to see there,” the Bachelor Nation blogger wrote. “Michelle is not with Joe.”

Reality Steve also pointed out that Michelle and Joe both share similar interests, and they live in Minnesota. So being spotted at the same event isn’t necessarily surprising.

“[Michelle’s] engaged to Nayte, has been since the show ended filming on Sept. 9th/10th, and that’s that,” Reality Steve wrote.
