Immediately, fans took to the comments section to wish them well. Vanderpump Rules cast member Ariana Madix commented, “Congratulations!! Cheers to you both,” while The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave also said, “Yay! Congratulations.” The pair were first linked in 2020, but they only made their relationship public a year after. At the time, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that, “she’s great for him.”
In February 2021, Viall confirmed their relationship for the first time on his Viall Files podcast. He said, “It’s fun. It’s great. I’m super happy.” The star only gave out little information about Joy. He said, “She slid into my DMs. It was very romantic.” At last, they are making their relationship official after dating for a long time. Viall disclosed, “We kind of kept hanging out, and she finally got a point where she was like, ‘I want to date,’ and I was kind of like, ‘I don’t know.
She just was like, ’OK, this is what I want. It’s fine, no big deal, but I’m gonna go do my thing,’ and she did, and I was like, ‘What?!’ … She went and showed me exactly what I’d be missing.” After confirming their relationship, the duo continued to share some updates about them.
In 2022, The surgical technologist posted several couples’ pictures on valentine’s day and captioned them, “I’m so lucky to feel incredibly loved everyday that valentine’s day is just another Monday, with extra flowers and chocolate covered strawberries of course.” She also tagged Viall her “dream man” on Instagram the same week. As their relationship continues to wax stronger, Viall claimed that he already knew he would marry Joy from the beginning of their relationship.
He said, “I think sometimes timelines can be a little bit dangerous about, you know, setting false expectations and reaching to a certain timeline and all of a sudden … [you] have other priorities. I just kind of tell people to just be careful about setting timelines. If they wanna set a time, it’s great, just make sure it’s mutual.
