What is the real age of Taylor Wiens? Internet skeptical as ‘The Bachelor’ Season 28 star reveals her age on ABC show

The internet found it hard to believe that Taylor Wiens was just 23 years old

AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: After the debut episode of 'The Bachelor' Season 28, Taylor Wiens' age became a topic of hot debate on the internet. Many found it challenging to believe that she was 23 as they thought she looked much older.

The online discussion sparked skepticism, with viewers questioning whether her age truly aligned with her appearance, as many were not willing to buy that she was 23 years old. 

Despite Taylor's claim on the ABC show that she was born on October 8, 1999, making her 24, many in the online community alleged that her real age was different. Critics argued that her appearance didn't align with being 23 or 24 years old, sparking speculation about the accuracy of her age.

Users on Twitter shared how they knew what a 23-year-old looked like and that it was nowhere close to Taylor; others argued that they couldn't believe that Taylor was as old as them and that it was hard to believe that someone could be a "mental health professor" at that young age.  

"Idc what y’all say, Taylor is not 23. Not even 24," a user tweeted. "Taylor def doesn’t look 23, I WILL say that," argued another. "I know I look young for my age (23) but there’s no way Taylor on #TheBachelor is the same age as me," commented one viewer. "You know what? I'm gonna say it. There's no way anyone is a mental health 'professional' at age 23. Taylor," added another. 

Others believed she used her age to justify her "immature" behavior and thought she was insecure. "Taylor is showing her age! She passes the blame and can't take responsibility for her own bad behavior. Really insecure girl," tweeted a user. "Taylor and Corrine, your age is showing... #immature #thebachelor Also, Taylor we get it you're smart. No need to be condescending" tweeted another. 

Why did Jess interrupt Taylor and Joey's conversation?     

Jess caused a stir in the first episode by interrupting Taylor and Joey Graziadei's conversation midway, expressing her desire to talk to him because she felt she hadn't been able to communicate properly.

Initially taken aback, Taylor eventually agreed to Jess's request, asking for just one more minute to speak with Joey. As Taylor conversed with Joey, Jess stood nearby, awkwardly waiting for her turn to talk to Joey again.

Did Joey kiss Taylor on 'The Bachelor'?         

In the debut episode of 'The Bachelor', Taylor has not yet shared a kiss with Joey, while Joey managed to kiss three other ladies: Jess, Jenn, and Daisy.

Jess was the first contestant he kissed, and this sparked a sense of panic among the other contestants as they observed Joey's romantic connections developing.

Is Taylor Wiens eliminated from 'The Bachelor'?

In the first episode, Taylor secured her spot in the competition by receiving a rose from Joey and has not been eliminated so far.

Unfortunately, the journey ended for other contestants like Chandler Dewgard, Kayla Rodgers, Kyra Brusch, Lanie Latsios, Nat Crepeau, Sam Hale, Talyah Jackson, Zoe Antona, Sandra Rabadi, and Samantha Washington, who were eliminated after the first episode. 

'The Bachelor' Season 28 new episodes air every Monday 8 pm ET on ABC, and is available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
