Who is Joe Coleman?

Joe Coleman, or Joe, as he is known on Season 18 of 'The Bachelorette' is a 28-year-old Real Estate Developer from Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is definitely a plus point, seeing that Michelle, too, is from Minnesota.

As per his ABC bio, "Joe is a Minnesota-born-and-raised city boy with a heart of gold. He played basketball at the University of Minnesota, and while he says that basketball was his first true love, he's now ready to build a life outside of sports and find a wife. Joe, who describes himself as introverted, is looking for a woman who is smart, caring, articulate and able to make him laugh. He wants someone with aligning values and hopes they are ready for a family because Joe hopes to have at least three or four kids! Overall, Joe wants to find a "real one" with whom he can build something solid that will stand the test of time." Apart from basketball, Joe loves snacks and also wants to travel to the Galapagos Islands one day. He is not a fan of spiders, however.



 

Joe and Michelle hit it off

According to Reality Steve, who is known for his fairly accurate spoilers, Joe and Michelle were spotted on a one-on-one date at Target Field for the Twins vs. Rays. The couple was also seen kissing and hugging. "(UPDATE): Michelle and Joe Coleman just received jerseys from the Twins mascot, TC Bear, and threw out the first pitch. Then kissed. Ooooo kissy kissy" tweeted Reality Steve, along with a video of the same. 



 

The couple's love for sports is evident, seeing that Joe was the Minnesota Mr. Basketball winner in 2011, while Michelle was also a finalist for Minnesota's Miss Basketball award, as reported by Bring Me The News.
