On Thursday, Joe took to Instagram with a surprising update on his health.
"15 days after my brain surgery and I'm going for my first run," Joe wrote over footage of himself stretching in his fitness clothes and sipping a cup of water.
"Wish me luck," he added, "and don't worry, I was medically cleared."
The Dancing with the Stars alum wrote in the caption, "If you're looking for a little inspiration this morning I just ran 3 and half miles only 15 days after my brain surgery."
Joe's wife, Serena Pitt -- whom he recently called his "rock" -- commented on the post, "I couldn't do that on a good day."
Joe recently revealed via Instagram that he hopes to run in the 2026 New York City marathon after fully recovering from his surgery.
Joe is hitting his stride only a couple of days after having 23 staples removed from his head.
Joe explained on August 12, about a week after his surgery, that he experienced pain and had trouble speaking post-op at first. However, he quickly took himself off heavy painkillers.
"And then I got my prognosis, which was fairly good," The Bachelorette alum continued at the time.
"I do have an astrocytoma, but it's very low-grade. They did get the whole thing. When it comes to malignant brain tumors, they don't know what's left over, so I will be going on treatment."
"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 told his fans via Instagram last month.
Joe said he "definitely wasn't expecting" to need brain surgery.
"I think it's one of those things where you're like, 'Oh, something like this would never happen to me,' and here I am. They say it's really early stages. I hope they are able to get it all, and I'm fine," he shared.
Joe and Serena subsequently discussed Joe's health crisis during the July 16 episode of their "Not Married to This" podcast.
The Bachelor in Paradise couple shared how they both had full-body MRI scans with Prenuvo -- with whom they were doing a professional partnership -- just to be proactive about their health.
About two days later, Joe said he received a phone call and thought he was going to be told he had an enlarged prostate because he tends to pee a lot during the night.
But when Joe spoke to his doctor on the phone, the Bachelor in Paradise alum was informed he had "a lesion" in his brain about the size of a marble or small grape.
"It's in the frontal lobe of my brain. The doctor was pretty alarming where he was like, 'You've got to go get this checked within the next week or two. It's urgent,'" Joe recalled.
Joe therefore scheduled another MRI, after which the radiologist characterized his lesion as an "early-stage glioma, which is a tumor." Joe said they believed it was Grade 1 or 2 at the time.
Joe said the news was pretty shocking because, "for the most part," he wasn't experiencing any symptoms.
"Now I kind of feel like I might have symptoms, but some of them are self-induced. So that's a difficult territory," Joe admitted.
He elaborated, "The symptoms I'm having now are more like lightheadedness, and I think a lot of it now is more anxiety, I believe. But who knows? What I would be experiencing more of [based on] where it is in my brain would be lack of motor skills, personality changes, and memory loss."
Joe acknowledged that the craniotomy would be "very dangerous" and "scary."
Serena clarified how a surgeon planned to cut out a piece of Joe's skull and take out as much of the tumor as they could. She said titanium screws would then be used to close up Joe's skull.
"Even though it's slow-growing, the likelihood of it growing into something aggressive or problematic is very high," Serena noted. "They are amazed we caught it so early... so that's good news."
Joe found fame when he competed on Season 14 of The Bachelorette starring Becca Kufrin in 2018.
After being a Night 1 boot, Joe returned for Season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise, where he fell in love with Kendall Long.
After Joe and Kendall split, Joe looked for love on Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2021 and found it with Serena.
Joe and Serena quietly tied the knot in a New York City courthouse in 2022 before having a bigger "magical" wedding for family and friends in South Carolina in September 2023.
Joe also previously competed on Season 27 of Dancing with the Stars and placed fifth with Jenna.
"Today's a good day to get a vasectomy," he said, according to BachelorNation.com.
Arie proceeded to explain how he was going to see "a new doctor" who uses "laughing gas" for such procedures.
"So I'm hoping this goes a little smoother. But honestly, I can't complain. This doesn't hold a candle to giving birth. But yeah, wish me luck," Arie continued.
Arie then teased that he had the procedure done by wearing a T-shirt that read, "All juice no seed."
Arie subsequently re-posted a video of his wife, Lauren Burnham, presenting him with a funny care package she had made for him to enjoy upon his return home.
Lauren placed a handful of snacks and candy inside of a mini-toy baby crib.
Lauren wrote puns on the snacks such as "retired [cheese] balls" and "we have enough [sour patch] kids."
Arie captioned the post, "Last, Last time I swear! This needed a permanent spot on my feed lol thank you @laurenluyendyk!"
Arie and Lauren fell in love on The Bachelor's 22nd season and got married in January 2019. They share daughter Alessi, 7, and twins Senna and Lux, 5.
While speaking to the receptionist, Arie wrote over the footage, "Making THAT call for the third time... Need a punch card."
Arie could be heard saying that he wanted to schedule another vasectomy as Adele's "Hello" played in the background.
"Snip snap, snip snap," he quipped with a smile.
After settling on a date for the procedure, Arie told the receptionist "sounds good" and gave the camera a thumbs up.
"She's probably heard it a thousand times lol," Arie captioned his post.
Arie underwent his first vasectomy in February 2022 after Baby No. 3, but he had a change of heart of a couple of years later.
In Spring 2024, the former racecar driver admitted during a Q&A session with fans via Instagram Stories that he was open to the idea of expanding his family even further, according to People.
"A year ago I would have said 100% no way but I'm feeling more and more like I rushed the vasectomy," Arie confessed over a photo of Alessi at the time.
"Don't know yet what the future holds but [right now] I'm loving this stage with them."
Arie then chose to reverse his first vasectomy in July 2024, although he didn't announce the news until February 2025.
"We said that we were done having kids like, I don't know, a couple years ago," Lauren explained in the couple's YouTube announcement at the time. "But I think we're going to do it one more time."
Arie went on to explain, "As you guys know, I got the vasectomy after the twins were born, and ever since then, I don't know, I think I rushed it. Honestly, it's more on me. I think having the twins was hard at first."
Arie gushed about how all of his kids were at "the best age" and so he thought to himself, "Dang it, I think we could do this again."
Arie and Lauren then announced Lauren's pregnancy with Baby No. 4 in March 2025. One month later, the pair shared with the world that they were expecting another baby girl.
Lauren had finished Arie's season of The Bachelor in second place when Arie actually chose Becca Kufrin as his winner and popped the question to Becca during the Final Rose Ceremony, which aired in March 2018.
But weeks after getting engaged, Arie decided to dump Becca because he claimed he was still in love with Lauren, and then he begged Lauren for a second chance.
Once Lauren took the real estate agent back, Arie proposed marriage in March 2018 on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose after Season 22 aired on ABC.
Arie and Lauren subsequently moved into their first home together in Phoenix, AZ, in April of that year. They went on to split their time between Arizona and Hawaii.

Jen Affleck has explained why she almost turned down filming The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County.
"I almost wasn't even part of the OC show just because it got so bad. I was like, 'You know what? Maybe I need to take a step back,'" Jen, 27, toldUs Weekly of her mental health at the time.
"But I felt honestly within me that I needed to share this time because with Season 2 -- when I did go through that -- I think it was the right thing at the time to exit and focus on my mental health."
Jen found fame when she starred on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and contributed to the viral sensation #MomTok.
Jen said she ultimately decided to join the Hulu spinoff because it's "important" to her to show viewers "what happens and how hard it is" to struggle with postpartum or prenatal depression.
"I hope that anyone who's gone through any form of depression watching the show can relate [to] me and can kind of feel seen because it was hard showing up," Jen shared.
"It was hard sharing and it's also really vulnerable having to share the darkest seasons of your life. But I think in doing so, as long as it's helping someone, that's all I care about."
Jen and her husband Zac Affleck announced in June that they're expecting their fourth child, and the reality TV star has since been open about her experience with prenatal depression.
However, Jen assured the magazine that she's been "feeling way better" lately.
"Definitely seeing more of the light at the end of the tunnel now that I'm not deathly ill and sick and on bed rest," Jen explained.
"I have always struggled, specifically the first trimester of every pregnancy. It's interesting because I never was a person to really struggle with depression throughout my life."
But the former Dancing with the Stars competitor noted that once she became a mother, it was "a different story."
"Like my body was just going through things that I just didn't know how to navigate, and I, unfortunately, with this being the fourth pregnancy, this was the hardest pregnancy out of all of them," she admitted.
"The only difference between this pregnancy and other pregnancies was I had a really hard time reaching out, really hard time talking about it and asking for help."
Jen noted that when a mother constantly serves her children and thinks about their needs, "it's hard to think of yourself."
Jen, who married Zac in 2018, is also mom to daughters Nora, 4, and Penny, 1, and son Lucas, 3.
Jen, however, said she's confident that she'll get through this challenging time in her life considering she's "gotten through this before."
Jen also said that finally asking for support and leaning on her loved ones "has been the biggest game changer" for her.
"It's given me the strength to be able to show up for other people. I hope through sharing my story, it's been able to help other people, or at least bring awareness," Jen shared.
In addition to Jen, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County will also star Ashleigh Pease, Aspyn Ovard, Avery Woods, Bobbi Althoff, Chandler Higginson, McCall DaPron, Madison Bontempo -- who also goes by her married surname, Madison Fisher -- and Salome Andrea.
McCall is the older sister of original SLOMW cast member Mayci Neeley.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County will introduce a "new group of dynamic young mothers" in the Los Angeles suburb, "where beliefs are not just their religion; they are their identity," according to a Hulu press release.
"While some defend their way of life, fighting against modernity, others embrace change, becoming a platform to disrupt the status quo."
The press release added, "Scandals and secrets will be revealed, facades will crumble, and families and friendships will change forever on both sides of the battlefield as this group of strong, game-changing influencers comes together to build their answer to #MomTok."
That same month, People reported that The Secret Lives ofMormon Wives: Orange County would begin filming in Spring 2026 and air this fall.
The Orange County casting announcement came shortly after Hulu confirmed in April it would resume filming on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' fifth season.
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star Jenni "JWoww" Farley has tied the knot with Zack Carpinello -- for the second time.
Just over a month after getting married in New Jersey, Jenni and Zack exchanged vows -- again -- during a romantic wedding ceremony in Italy on July 20, People reported.
"We wanted our New Jersey celebration at Madison's [on June 24] to be an opportunity for our loved ones who weren't able to travel to Italy to celebrate with us," the couple explained in an interview on Wednesday, August 19.
"We gathered with our close friends and family in New Jersey, while our celebration in Italy was a more intimate experience for us."
Several close friends apparently attended the couple's second wedding, which took place in the middle of Jenni and Zack's European honeymoon.
"For me, it was really about having an intimate, meaningful moment with Zack," Jenni, 41, shared.
"His family is from Italy, so celebrating there felt special to us. We wanted a celebration that felt uniquely ours, and we did exactly that."
Jenni for a strapless gown with a pop of red for the Italian ceremony, while Zack, 31, sported a black suit.
In late June, Jenni revealed that she had surprised her own guests with her first wedding.
Jenni said she designed movie-themed invitations and invited 50 guests to what they initially believed would be a red-carpet screening of her film, Nanny Cam, on June 24, according to People.
But Jenni and Zack fooled their loved ones by exchanging vows instead.
"We weren't interested in throwing the biggest wedding possible," Jenni explained to the magazine at the time.
"We wanted an unforgettable moment shared with our closest family and friends. The goal was creating memories, not creating a production."
Guests had gathered at Madison Modern Social in Old Bridge, NJ -- a contemporary restaurant that allowed the bride and groom to "focus on the moment" rather than "the pressure and expense" of a traditional wedding -- where their local mayor announced the wedding surprise and subsequently served as Jenni and Zack's officiant.
Jenni previously said that making the day feel "authentic" and "family centered" was of the most importance to the couple.
Jenni recalled how it was so exciting to see the expression on her guests' faces once they learned they were attending her wedding and not a movie premiere.
"We'll never forget [it]," Jenni noted at the time of her "modern Beauty and the Beast fairy tale with a dark romance twist."
Jenni shares two children with her ex-husband, Roger Mathews -- a daughter Meilani, 11, and son Greyson, 10.
Jenni and Zack -- who grew up just one town apart -- got engaged on top of the Empire State Building in New York City on Jenni's 36th birthday in 2021.
"Zack has always loved me exactly as I am. He's supportive, patient, and puts family first," Jenni gushed.
And Zack shared of his wife, "I love Jenni's bold confidence and ambition on life, but also humorous and softer side that she pretty much only shows me!"
Jersey Shore premiered its first season in 2006 and launched many spinoffs including Snooki & JWoww and the latest Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, which airs Thursday nights at 8PM ET/PT on MTV.
Jenni promised on social media at the time, "MTV is changing, but we're not."
And fellow Jersey Shore star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino wrote on Twitter on March 4, "Legends don't retire -- they take the story somewhere new. The network changed. The legacy didn't. Jersey Shore forever. The next wave is coming."

Big Brother featured Rick Devens blowing up the house by using his "Diamond Power of Veto" power to save Dee Valladares and nominate Kamuela "Kamu" Kirk in her place, completely disarming the HoH, Yash Patel.
The Big Brother broadcast began on Day 39 after Yash had nominated Dee, Haley Thogmartin, and Angela Murray for eviction.
Yash said he didn't know whom his target was, but as long as one of them goes home this week, he'd consider his HoH reign a success.
Angela was crying about her nomination, and Dee vented in the Diary Room about how Yash had just made "a $750,000 mistake" because she was going to do everything possible to kick him out of the game in the near future.
Meanwhile, Kamu was proud of himself for planting seeds with Yash and influencing him to put Dee on the chopping block. Kamu thought Dee was sneaky and untrustworthy, and so he felt she needed to go.
Haley talked to Yash about how she was well aware she was "an easy target," but Yash told the Big Brother cameras that he knew Haley was a competitive threat as well as a free agent -- which he could eventually use to his advantage.
Mallory Aurichio was then shown celebrating the fact that two "Icons" were on the block. She thought they had too much power and had been controlling the game for too long.
After Dee cried to Barrett Pfeiffer about being in jeopardy of eviction and admitted she was "so pissed off" at Yash, Drew Campbell praised Yash for "taking a big swing."
Yash let Drew know that Dee had thrown his name out there and accused him of being all over the place and messy.
"I'm going to have to do some damage control with Dee because I don't want her going this week, but I have to make sure that we're good going forward in this game," Drew told the Big Brother cameras.
Kamu -- who acknowledged that several alliances were "dead" at this point -- pitched Dee as "the more dangerous player" to Yash, who agreed that Dee was "mischievous" and had strangely lied about the Lyric Medeiros vote.
Devens told the Big Brother cameras that he could use his "Diamond Power of Veto" to pull Dee off the block and flip Yash's HoH on its head.
"But that could blow up a lot of the alliances keeping me safe... The Idols, The Crossovers, The Toolshed, The Red Corner, and The Wolfpack. And recently, I joined The Primaries with Yash, Kamu and [Taylor Brown]," Devens explained, adding that he also formed The Bermuda Triangle with Yash and Kamu.
"But by far, the person I'm most loyal to in this game is Dee, so I have to consider, 'Is saving my No. 1 worth it?'"
Devens said he hoped Dee would win the Power of Veto so that he could save his special Diamond power for a do-or-die time.
Kamu talked to Yash about how they should honor their Final 3 alliance with Devens, and the guys solidified a Final 2 pact.
"We can help each other get all the way to the end," Yash told the Big Brother cameras.
Meanwhile, Drew was still loyal to The Crossovers alliance with Devens, Dee, Barrett, and Angela.
Drew let Dee know that Yash was allowing Kamu to tell him what to do, and so Dee called Kamu "a piece of sh-t" for betraying her. Dee promised Drew that she was ready to take Kamu on.
It then became time to pick players for the Power of Veto competition.
In addition to the HoH and the three nominees, Melody Morris and Barrett were selected by random draw to compete.
Melody was prepared to fight for her F.A.P. alliance with Mallory, Drew and Barrett, but Barrett seemed excited to go to battle for The Crossovers alliance.
"I'm playing this for Angela and Dee!" Barrett noted in the Big Brother Diary Room, before learning from Drew that he could end up being Yash's replacement nominee.
The houseguests then traveled to 1950, where the participating players competed in the classic Otev competition.
In each round, Otev, who dubbed himself "The Belligerent B-Movie Blob," gave a clue and instructed the players to look for a headshot of a fellow Big Brother houseguest who fit that description or was the answer.
The Big Brother players had to race through slime to find the correct name, and the last person to climb to the top of the slides with the right answer would be eliminated. If a player answered incorrectly, he or she would also be out. The last person standing would win the golden Power of Veto.
Angela was the first person out, and she was quickly followed by Dee, which really disappointed Devens.
The competition ultimately came down to Yash vs. Barrett, and in the end, Yash won the Golden Power of Veto.
Yash said he had no desire to change his own nominations, and so Angela said she was hoping for a miracle.
Kamu boasted about how it should be "smooth sailing ahead," and Dee lamented about how she really wanted to stay in the game but felt like the walls were closing in around her.
Devens then started thinking about whether he should use his Diamond power to save Dee, which would allow him to name the replacement nominee -- not Yash.
"What if we take The Crossovers alliance -- me, Dee, Angela, Drew and Barrett -- and bring in an extra or two, like Mallory or Melody, and declare war on everybody else?" Devens wondered.
"If I can use this power to consolidate a seven-person alliance, that's a game-winning move. I can blindside Yash and Kamu. I think it might be time to blow everything up, take Dee down and put Kamu up. This is the move!"
Devens, who reminded viewers that he's always loyal to his No. 1, told Dee all about his plan, and she was ecstatic.
Dee gushed to the Big Brother cameras, "This is absolutely Kamu's own doing because we could've worked together, and he has no idea what's coming for him. I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve!"
Dee told Devens that she'd blindly trust him with her whole life, and then she told Angela about Devens' power and asked her to trust them.
Kamu then let Devens know that Dee was on his radar, and Devens acted surprised by that. This confirmed everything Devens needed to know, and Devens told the Big Brother cameras that Kamu had just sealed his fate.
Devens therefore set out to find support and build a new alliance with The Crossovers plus Mallory and Melody.
Mallory was flattered that Devens was talking game with her, but she said she was going to stick to her own strategy and remain loyal to F.A.P.
Melody was more onboard with the new alliance because she admitted it would take the majority of the house to take Yash and Kamu on.
The group of seven called themselves The Mosh Pit, and Devens was jumping for joy about the upcoming Veto Meeting.
At the Veto Meeting, Yash announced he had decided not to use the Power of Veto.
Just when Yash thought the Veto Meeting was over, Devens interrupted him, and apologized for doing so.
"This Veto Meeting has only just begun," Devens began.
Yash looked completely shocked because he thought Devens was his boy and that they were working together.
"I have the Diamond Power of Veto, which allows me to pull one of the nominees off the block -- and gives me the power to choose a replacement nominee," Devens explained.
Yash appeared to swallow hard, and then Devens -- in typical dramatic fashion -- announced how he had a dream about Survivor host Jeff Probst telling him to protect his Survivor allies.
As a result, Devens used the Diamond Power of Veto to save Dee from the chopping block.
After Kamu shook his head in disbelief, Devens named Kamu -- "the biggest threat in the game" -- the replacement nominee.
Devens was proud of himself for taking "a huge risk" and playing a "fearless" game, and Yash suddenly regretted not accepting Dee's $5,000 bribe.
"It took a Diamond Power of Veto to get me on the block. Hey, Devens, thanks. You think I'm the biggest threat in the game? I think you're right," Kamu said in the Big Brother Diary Room.
"I'm going to go out there and win the Blockbuster, but even if I don't, I'm going to make sure I have an army of people behind me, ready to keep me safe, so that I can go after you and your fellow icons."

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way star Pattiya Phillips has announced her split from Dylan Yeandle, claiming she's the one who pulled the plug on their relationship.
90 Day Fiance viewers last saw Dylan and Pattiya engaged and trying to make things work on the Season 7 Tell All of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.
But according to Pattiya, she reached her breaking point and dumped the Australian model and exotic dancer after dating him on and off for years.
"After 12 years together and approaching our 13th, I have made the difficult decision to end my relationship with Dylan," Pattiya captioned a video featuring some of the pair's memories together.
"I understand that Dylan may not want our relationship to end, but I can no longer continue living through the distance, uncertainty, and constant cycle of being together and apart."
Pattiya said she "waited 12 years" for her relationship with Dylan "to truly move forward" -- and she's had enough.
"[I] held on through so much, and gave it more chances than I can count. But I cannot keep waiting and hoping for a future that may never come," Pattiya shared.
"As much as I have loved him, love alone is not always enough to make a relationship healthy or sustainable. This relationship has taken an emotional toll on me, and I have finally realized that I must choose what is best for my own peace and happiness."
The exotic dancer from Las Vegas went on to "sincerely" wish Dylan well.
"And I hope he finds the happiness, fulfillment, and whatever it is he is still seeking in life," she continued.
"I will always appreciate the memories and the years we shared, but for me, this chapter is permanently closed. This is my decision, and I am asking that it be respected."
Pattiya then thanked fans for their support and asked for "kindness and respect" as the former couples moves "forward through this change."
"I am choosing peace, healing, and myself. Goodbye to this chapter. A new one begins now," she concluded.
Over the video footage, Pattiya also wrote, "After 12 years together, our journey has officially come to an end. Long distance and the constant back and forth have taken an emotional toll on me. I wish Dylan well as we go our separate ways. Goodbye to this chapter. I'm choosing peace."
Just one day earlier, Dylan had suggested on his own Instagram account that his and Pattiya's story was still being written.
"Who knows... maybe our story isn't finished on your TV screens just yet," Dylan captioned TLC footage of the former couple on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way.
But Dylan also admitted to his followers that Pattiya wasn't happy in Australia.
"Looking back at this [footage], I really was hoping Pattiya would fall in love with Tasmania the way I had. The rolling green hills, the fresh air, the nature, the local produce, the slower pace of life," Dylan recalled.
"I thought maybe she'd come down from Texas, experience that simple Tassie lifestyle and think, 'Yep... I could actually live here.' If you watched our whole journey on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, you already know it didn't exactly work out that way."
Dylan called Pattiya "a big-city girl at heart," and he added, "There's absolutely nothing wrong with that."
"Sometimes you can love someone and still have two completely different ideas of what 'home' looks like," he continued.
"But I know so many of you followed our story, laughed with us, yelled at the TV with us, and probably wondered what happened after the cameras stopped rolling."
Pattiya and Dylan's relationship clearly took a turn since February, when the pair had confirmed they were still together and thriving in Tasmania.
On one of Dylan's posts about Pattiya, she commented, "Surprise y'all. We're still together, still engaged, and very happy."
"What you saw had ups and downs, but real love doesn't quit," she added. "Thank you for watching our story play out on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way. This one's real."
Pattiya also insisted that 90 Day Fiance viewers only saw "a small part of a much bigger story" on TLC.
On Part 2 of the 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way Season 7 Tell All that aired on TLC earlier this year, Pattiya confirmed that she and Dylan were still engaged.
However, Pattiya was back living in Texas because she said living in a small town -- with Dylan's mother Jo so close by -- wasn't working for her.
Dylan actually rated Pattiya and Jo's relationship "a minus 10" on a scale from 1-10, and Pattiya called Dylan and his mother's dynamic "toxic."
Dylan acknowledged that he "couldn't breathe" without Pattiya and so he needed to make a lifestyle change.
"I'll be in the States in a couple of weeks. I'll have three months there... and Pattiya and I are going to be working on the K-1 visa," Dylan announced.
While Pattiya clearly preferred to be in the United States, she also claimed that Dylan had outgrown his small Tasmania town.
Dylan went on to reiterate how he was scheduled to arrive in the United States in two weeks and planned to start the K-1 visa paperwork upon his arrival, which he anticipated would take about 10 months to get approved.
Jo gave Dylan her blessing to move on the show, saying it was wonderful that Dylan was about to embark on this new adventure with his fiancee.
Pattiya cried, saying she wished Jo had blessed her relationship with Dylan a long time ago.
"This is all I wanted -- for 12 years," Pattiya sobbed.
Bachelor in Paradise and Dancing with the Stars alum Joe Amabile has revealed a new update after undergoing a serious brain surgery.
Joe underwent surgery earlier this month to remove a lesion in his brain, which turned out to be a low-grade astrocytoma, a type of malignant brain tumor.
On Tuesday, August 18, Joe posted a video of a doctor removing the staples from his skull.
Joe, 40, wrote over the footage, "23 staples out of my head."
In the video, Joe's wife, Serena Pitt, asked, "How does it feel, Joe?"
Joe replied, "It feels kind of like nothing."
The Chicago native, affectionately known as "Grocery Store Joe" in Bachelor Nation, added, "It doesn't really feel like anything."
The pair also recently poked fun at the scar Joe may have by quoting a line from Harry Potter.
On August 12, Joe revealed one full week had passed since his surgery and his recovery was going "really great."
"I think I struggled at the beginning with speaking, just, like, knowing what to say but not being able to say it. And then you know, just pain obviously," he told his Instagram followers at the time.
But Joe said he was already off heavy painkillers, except for a "few Tylenol here and there."
"And then I got my prognosis, which was fairly good," The Bachelorette alum continued.
"I do have an astrocytoma, but it's very low-grade. They did get the whole thing. When it comes to malignant brain tumors, they don't know what's left over, so I will be going on treatment."
One week prior to his surgery, Joe admitted on Instagram that it had been a "tough" and "tricky" waiting game to have the tumor removed from his brain.
He said at the time that he was going through "a lot of ups and downs" but Serena was his rock.
Joe also revealed via Instagram that he hopes to run in the 2026 New York City marathon after fully recovering from his surgery.
Joe recently uploaded a screenshot of his acceptance into the marathon and wrote, "We'll see," along with a crossed-fingers emoji.
"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 told his fans via Instagram last month.
Joe said he "definitely wasn't expecting" to need brain surgery.
"I think it's one of those things where you're like, 'Oh, something like this would never happen to me,' and here I am. They say it's really early stages. I hope they are able to get it all, and I'm fine," he shared.
Joe and Serena subsequently discussed Joe's health crisis during the July 16 episode of their "Not Married to This" podcast.
The Bachelor in Paradise couple shared how they both had full-body MRI scans with Prenuvo -- with whom they were doing a professional partnership -- just to be proactive about their health.
About two days later, Joe said he received a phone call and thought he was going to be told he had an enlarged prostate because he tends to pee a lot during the night.
But when Joe spoke to his doctor on the phone, the Bachelor in Paradise alum was informed he had "a lesion" in his brain about the size of a marble or small grape.
"It's in the frontal lobe of my brain. The doctor was pretty alarming where he was like, 'You've got to go get this checked within the next week or two. It's urgent,'" Joe recalled.
Joe therefore scheduled another MRI, after which the radiologist characterized his lesion as an "early-stage glioma, which is a tumor." Joe said they believed it was Grade 1 or 2 at the time.
Joe said the news was pretty shocking because, "for the most part," he wasn't experiencing any symptoms.
"Now I kind of feel like I might have symptoms, but some of them are self-induced. So that's a difficult territory," Joe admitted.
He elaborated, "The symptoms I'm having now are more like lightheadedness, and I think a lot of it now is more anxiety, I believe. But who knows? What I would be experiencing more of [based on] where it is in my brain would be lack of motor skills, personality changes, and memory loss."
Joe said surgery felt like the only option at that point because he didn't want the tumor to grow.
Joe acknowledged, "The surgery is very dangerous. It's a craniotomy, which is scary. It's a serious surgery."
Serena clarified how a surgeon planned to cut out a piece of Joe's skull and take out as much of the tumor as they could. She said titanium screws would then be used to close up Joe's skull.
"Even though it's slow-growing, the likelihood of it growing into something aggressive or problematic is very high," Serena noted. "They are amazed we caught it so early... so that's good news."
Joe said his plan was to keep his "stress levels low" leading up to the surgery.
Serena concluded at the time, "They said a few days in the hospital, a few weeks out, and then you'll be back and better than ever, baby!"
Joe found fame when he competed on Season 14 of The Bachelorette starring Becca Kufrin in 2018.
After being a Night 1 boot, Joe returned for Season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise, where he fell in love with Kendall Long.
After Joe and Kendall split, Joe looked for love on Season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise in 2021 and found it with Serena.
Joe and Serena quietly tied the knot in a New York City courthouse in 2022 before having a bigger "magical" wedding for family and friends in South Carolina in September 2023.
Joe also previously competed on Season 27 of Dancing with the Stars and placed fifth with Jenna.
America's Got Talent judge Howie Mandel hit the Golden Buzzer -- again -- for supersized magic act, Hundred Fingers, during the live Season 21 episode that aired Tuesday night on NBC.
During the quarterfinals, 11 acts will perform in each episode for America's votes on Tuesday nights, with the results being announced on Wednesday nights.
The acts who took the stage during the first episode of the quarterfinals were singer Ashford Sanders, singer Brook Lynn, choir CommUNITY ATL, comedian Cris Sosa, Hundred Fingers, mentalist duo James and Marina, tumblers Jesse White Tumbling Team, rapper Luke Taleno -- who was Howie's other Golden Buzzer -- dog training act Olivia Befus, dancers Sando, and dance trio Royal Lasers.
Before Hundred Fingers took the stage led by Yu Hojin, Yu explained to the cameras, "I auditioned by myself in Season 17, but Simon said, 'It's not big enough.' I was eliminated in the final."
"I knew I needed something really special to return to AGT," the magician continued.
"I went to train a magic super group -- something [people] have never seen before -- and that's exactly what I created."
While the group received Howie's Golden Buzzer during the initial auditions round, Yu said, "The job is not done. Now we have huge pressure to do better."
Yu went on to explain how his group have been practicing and rehearsing "a minimum of 15 hours, six days a week."
"We are pushing ourselves to the limit because this is the most difficult magic we have ever done. I want redemption! That's why we are here," Yu noted.
Hundred Fingers' quarterfinals performance included changing ribbons, fans and masks into confetti; controlling a flying ribbon with a magic wand; making items completely disappear; and turning a tiny flame into a big fire.
Before the judges could even speak praise, Howie enthusiastically hit the Golden Buzzer.
"They are going straight to the finals!" AGT host Terry Crews yelled.
When asked why he pressed the Golden Buzzer "for the second time" for Hundred Fingers, Howie responded, "That was the best thing I've seen. One word: magic!"

Bachelor in Paradise alum Jess Edwards has shared the real reason why her fiance, Spencer Conley, rarely appears on her social media these days.
"I'm sure you guys have noticed, we haven't been on social media as a couple as much together," Jess acknowledged during a recent episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast co-hosted by Rachel Recchia and Charity Lawson.
"Because I feel like we were doing it so much, it was like, it felt a little performative. We were like, 'Alright, this is not realistic. We're forcing ourselves to do these things when we just want to be normal.'"
Jess said she and Spencer felt an obligation to post on social media all the time as a couple in order to not disappoint their fans and Bachelor Nation.
"But we were like, 'You know what? No. We just need to do what feels natural.' And he's wanted to take a little break from social media, and I'm not going to be like, 'No, you need to be in this!'" Jess explained.
"So if he wants to, he wants to. And yeah, I just think we're trying to be as normal as possible because we were just handed this platform, and we're like, 'Eh, what do we do?!'"
But because Jess and Spencer haven't been showing off their love online, many fans have speculated that they've split or are heading towards a break up.
"I have a really bad problem of seeing stuff and getting immediately infuriated," Jess confessed.
"Like, it really does -- and this is probably exactly what they want to hear, too -- but I will see it and I'm like, 'Oh, I'm so mad. We need to post together,'" Jess admitted.
"And then I'm like, 'You know what? It literally does not matter what they think.' I know nine times out of 10, it's because they care and they're invested in us. And then there's just the people who want to start drama."
Jess expressed annoyance, in particular, over trolls claiming she doesn't wear her engagement ring.
"I will have people literally comment on videos where you can clearly see my ring in every clip and they're like, 'She's not been wearing her ring recently.' And I'm like, 'Girl, yes I have!'" Jess vented.
Jess pointed out how she and Spencer simply have a lot going on and can't dedicate all of their time to posting on social media.
"There's things that pop up and I don't know. I'm just not, I don't ever want to be fraudulent or fake on there," Jess shared.
"So I don't want to have all these things going on and then be like, 'Okay, we've got to make a couples' video really quick. Like, come on, let's fit it in.' It just feels like too much and then it gets to be an annoyance and it's not fun anymore."
Jess moved from San Diego, CA, to Dallas, TX, to be with Spencer in January 2026, and she gushed about how Spencer does a great job of preventing her from feeling lonely.
While Jess and Spencer weren't the only couple who found love on Bachelor in Paradise's tenth season, they were the only couple who left Costa Rica engaged.
Jess and Spencer chose love over money during the September 2025 finale on ABC, but as a reward for having their priorities straight, they walked away with a cash prize of $190,000.
Sister Wives star Janelle Brown has announced she has a new man in her life -- and she's proud of it!
Janelle, 57, took to Instagram on Tuesday, August 18 and revealed that she has a new boyfriend.
"Some chapters are meant to unfold quietly before they're shared," Janelle captioned a selfie with her love interest.
"I wasn't looking. I certainly wasn't expecting you. And somehow, you turned out to be exactly what I didn't know I needed. And it has been pretty wonderful."
Janelle added, "Everyone please meet Pete."
Janelle is showing off her man about four years after announcing her permanent split from Kody Brown.
When Janelle spiritually married Kody in 1993, she agreed to share him with other women. Janelle was therefore "sister wives" with Christine Brown and Meri Brown in the 1990s.
Kody later wed Robyn Brown, his fourth wife, in a spiritual ceremony.
Christine and Kody announced their separation in November 2021, and she later remarried.
Janelle and Kody welcomed six children together during their relationship, but she announced their decision to separate in December 2022. Meri confirmed her split from Kody shortly afterward in January 2023.
Kody and Robyn, however, are still together, and she currently remains his only wife.
After Janelle and Kody called it quits, Janelle admitted in 2023 that she wasn't quite ready to dip her toes back in the dating pool.
"I deeply believe in my faith," she said during an episode of Sister Wives at the time, according toUs Weekly.
"I have been so much at peace that I don't know how to reconcile that. So that's where my debate with myself is all the time because I know I'm happy. I don't want him to come back, but my faith requires that we are married eternally."
The following year, Janelle clarified during an interview with People that she and Kody were never "legally married" since their union had been a spiritual one.
"I can't really say I'm divorced," she noted at the time. "I just say 'I'm no longer with' [him] when I explain it to outside people. I'm like, 'I'm no longer with my partner.'"
Janelle also didn't seem interested in dating again in early 2025.
"My marriage is over," she reportedly said on the "Sibling Revelry" podcast.
"I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm not really interested in getting married again or even really dating at this stage. So I'm not even thinking about, like, 'Oh, what do I need to do?' Because I'm just like, I am over [it]."
Janelle subsequently revealed during a January 2026 episode of Sister Wives that she was granted a "spiritual release" from her church, the Apostolic United Brethren, according to Us.
"That was easy," she gushed of her release. "I thought I was going to have to come back for a second meeting. I am free."
Janelle's sense of freedom at the time resulted in her moving to North Carolina to be close to her and Kody's daughter, Madison Brush, and her grandchildren.
Janelle and Kody are also parents of Logan, Hunter, Gabriel, and Savannah. Their son Garrison died by suicide in 2024.
