Bachelor in Paradise star Joe Amabile is sharing a positive update after undergoing brain surgery.
On Wednesday, Aug. 5, the reality TV star and podcast host underwent a craniotomy to remove a brain tumor.
One day later, Amabile shared photos from his hospital bed on Instagram showing bandages wrapped around his head while holding the hand of his wife, Serena Pitt.
He captioned the post, “They got it all!” seemingly referring to the successful removal of the tumor.
Bachelor Nation quickly flooded the comments with messages of support.
“Yayyyy!!! Praise! So so happy to see this update!!” wrote Ashley Iaconetti.
“F–k yes they did,” commented Blake Moynes.
“You did it Joe!! Best news!!! 🫶🏾.” added Tayshia Adams.

Last month, Amabile revealed that doctors had discovered what appeared to be an early-stage brain tumor after he underwent a Prenuvo scan, a proactive full-body MRI.
“So a little medical update. I didn’t share my Prenuvo results because they ended up finding a lesion in my brain,” Amabile said in a video shared to his Instagram. “So then I had to go get a brain MRI, and there was a blueberry-sized lesion in my brain that looks to be a glioma, which is a tumor.”
He went on to explain that he would undergo a craniotomy to remove the lesion and determine whether it was cancerous.
“So I now need to get brain surgery to get it removed and get it tested, and then we’re gonna go from there,” Amabile continued. “So it’s been a wild couple weeks. Definitely wasn’t expecting this.”
“I think it’s one of those things where you’re like, ‘Oh, something like this never happened to me,’ and here I am,” he added. “They say it’s really early stages. I hope they are able to get it all, and I’m fine. But I will keep you updated.”
Amabile met Pitt while filming Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2021. The couple tied the knot in an intimate courthouse ceremony in New York City in October 2022 before celebrating with a larger wedding in Charleston, South Carolina, the following year.
