Bachelor in Paradise’s Joe Amabile is showing off his new hair cut ahead of his scheduled brain surgery.
“Might as well give them easy access,” Joe captioned a Friday, July 17, Instagram post, showing off his new look.
In the clip, Joe smiled for the camera with his buzzed hair on display as he lifted his sunglasses up and walked down the street. Joe’s wife, Serena Pitt, was supportive of the new style.
“You finally found a reason to get a buzz cut that I couldn’t say no to!” Serena wrote in the comments section.
Days earlier, Joe revealed that he would be undergoing brain surgery after doctors discovered a “lesion” in his brain.
“So a little medical update. I didn’t share my Prenuvo results because they ended up finding a lesion in my brain so then I had to go get a brain MRI and there was a blueberry size lesion in my brain that looks to be a glioma, which is a tumor. So I now need to get brain surgery next week to get it removed and get it tested,” Joe said in an Instagram video on July 13, adding text over the clip, “(Surgery is in two weeks … my bad).”
He continued, “And then we’re going to go from there. So it’s been a wild couple weeks. I definitely wasn’t expecting this. I think it’s one of those things where you’re like, ‘Oh, something like this will never happen to me.’ And here I am.”
The Bachelor Nation alum shared that he is being told “it’s really early stages” and hopes “they are able to get it all.”
“This past month has been a lot of ups and downs to say the least. After multiple scans and MRIs I have what looks to be an early stage brain tumor. In two weeks I’ll be undergoing a craniotomy to have it removed — yeah brain surgery — @memorialsloankettering,” he captioned the clip. “I’m doing my best to stay positive during this time and am lucky to have a lot of support from family and friends.”
He continued, “I’ve gone back and forth about what I wanted to share on social media but ultimately this is now part of my life now, so might as well. Onto a new journey.”
While reflecting on his health during an episode of his and Serena’s “Not Married to This” podcast, Joe opened up about his decision to undergo surgery.
“I was pretty much like, OK to me, monitoring something that we don’t know what it is… it could potentially get worse very fast,” he said on the Thursday, July 16, podcast. “I was kind of like, ‘I’m going to do the surgery.”
