ATHENS, GREECE: At this moment, Joe Bradley's dating status remains a mystery. A brief perusal of his Instagram account indicates that his content primarily revolves around his adventures, particularly those spent near the ocean. Therefore, for the time being, it seems reasonable to infer that Joe is currently single.

During the most recent episode of 'Below Deck Mediterranean' Season 9, stew Elena "Ellie" Dubaich decided to take a chance and ask Joe for a date.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Joe later confided in his fellow cast member Nathan Gallagher that he wasn't interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with Elena. It appears that Joe's feelings towards Elena have shifted, signalling a potential change in their dynamic on the show.

In the midst of the episode, Joe took Elena aside to have a deep and meaningful conversation. Opening up to her, Joe expressed his feelings of immense pressure and his lack of desire to go on a date.

"To be honest I feel a lot of pressure and I don't want a date," Joe told Elena. Soon after, Elena was taken aback by his unexpected words and struggled to process the weight of his confession.

"I don't want any strings attached. I'm not going on a date," Joe shared in a confessional.
