With Minnesota being their mutual home, Joe’s family joked during their hometown date that they hope it worked out between him and Michelle because they’d probably run into her at the grocery store.
They were on the right track.
Michelle found herself in the same place on New Year’s as her college basketball-playing ex.
Clearly showing no bad blood between the three, Michelle uploaded a photo onto her Instagram stories showcasing the all-smiles moment with her fiance and the bronze medalist of her season.
Clearly continuing their friendship post-show, Nayte also shared a video dancing with Joe during the New Year’s festivities.
Being from Minneapolis was something the elementary school teacher shared with Joe and was something that made the experience extra special for him.
“Going on the show was one thing, but being able to film in my home state and city of Minneapolis was surreal,” the 28-year-old wrote in a caption showcasing his reality TV journey. “It was an honor and privilege to be on the cast, I hope I made MN proud.”
Also calling the cast of his season “high-quality men”, he thanked them for making the “crazy experience” easier for him.
