Will Lexi Young quit 'The Bachelor' Season 28? ABC star's future plans at odds with Joey Graziadei
MONTREAL, CANADA: Four women will reportedly be eliminated in 'The Bachelor' Season 28 Episode 6, and one of them will be Lexi Young. However, the preview hints that Joey Graziadei will not decide to eliminate Lexi; instead, she will self-eliminate herself. Before Maria Georgas goes on her date with Joey, Lexi drops the big bomb of her elimination.
She will be seen walking out of paradise, claiming that her future with Joey does not align. "Their timelines of marriage and kids did not align, so Lexi left," reports Reality Steve. It is speculated that Lexi's endometriosis diagnosis might be the reason why she chose to walk out of the show. The star previously revealed that her diagnosis has left her with the fear of "potentially never being able to have children."
Lexi knows that Joey is interested in having children at some point in his life with the woman he loves. Therefore, she does not want to put him in a situation where he has to compromise with his future. It remains to be seen how Lexi's departure from the show will affect Joey.

During last week's episode, Lexi went on a date night with Joey in Malta. Before dinner, the duo went shopping, followed by a visit to church. During their dinner together, she revealed that she was diagnosed with Stage 5 endometriosis.
She explained to Joey, "I started my job. Everything was great. I ultimately ended up moving to New York, and when I got there, I fell pretty ill. It was about a year and a half of not knowing what was happening with me." She ended up meeting a doctor in New York and was immediately put into surgery to figure out what exactly was going on in her body. She said, "I was diagnosed with stage 5 Endometriosis." In her past relationship, her boyfriend left her because she could not bear children.
Lexi thanks 'The Bachelor' Joey, producers for supporting endometriosis awareness
After last week's episode where Lexi openly addressed her endometriosis diagnosis, she took to Instagram to thank 'The Bachelor' producers and Joey for supporting her illness.
