'The Bachelorette' 2022: Fans upset as Hayden Markowitz is giving them 'Grocery Store Joe 2.0' vibe

After seeing Hayden on 'The Bachelorette' Season premiere fans say 'Hayden looks like a younger grocery store joe'

A new Bachelorette contestant might give series favorite Joe Amabile a run for his money when it comes to huge smiles. Fans are gushing on Twitter about how similar new Bachelorette contestant Hayden Markowitz looks to Joe.

During Season 14 of 'The Bachelorette,' Joe Amabile won America's heart as "Grocery Store Joe," with Becca Kufrin as the leading lady. He later became a fan favorite after competing for love again on Season 5 of 'Bachelor in Paradise,' where he fell in love with Kendall Long. Although they did not leave the beach together, they reunited by the time the finale aired and dated for a while thereafter. Joe and Kendall called it quits after a year of living together, and Joe chose to try for love again in Season 7 of 'Bachelor in Paradise.' Notwithstanding Kendall's pleas, Joe picked Serena Pitt over her, and the two departed Paradise engaged and remain so to this day. Fans are now obsessed with Joe's resemblance in the casting of guys for the co-Bachelorette season with Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey.

Grocery Store Joe’s twin is Hayden Markowitz. Hayden may resemble Joe's beloved Midwest grocery store owner, but he grew up far away from Joe's Chicago home. Hayden grew up in Savannah, Georgia, and sees himself as a Southern guy, even though his ABC profile shows his hometown as Tampa, Florida. He is 25 years old and works as a vacation house and condo manager in Florida. This description fits all of his favorite pastimes, including cooking, sailing, and golfing.

Hayden has his own Instagram account as well as a Facebook page dedicated to his dog, Rambo. Reality Steve on his Twitter page singled him out among the other candidates.

Fans of Bachelor Nation can't get over how much Hayden resembles Joe. They took to Twitter to talk about the uncanny resemblance between the two. Calling Hayden the lovechild of Josh Peck and Joe, one fan wrote: "Soooooo this guy is Josh Peck and grocery store Joe’s lovechild literally looks like a hybrid of them #TheBacheloretteABC #TheBachelorettes #TheBachelorette."

Another fan put together the collage of the two and wrote: "If joe alwyn and grocery store joe had a baby #BachelorNation #TheBachelorette."

One fan calls Hayden a younger version of Joe in a tweet that read: "Hayden looks like a younger grocery store joe #TheBachelorette."

A fan threw Joe Alwyn into the mix of the doppelgangers and wrote: "Hayden from #TheBachelorette = Joe Alwyn + Grocery Store Joe."

Many took to Twitter to question if Hayden and Joe are actually related: "I’m having a hard time believing Hayden isn’t Grocery Store Joe’s little brother. #TheBachelorette."
