Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt fell in love and got engaged on Season 7 of “Bachelor in Paradise,” and now these two are discussing their life as a couple in the real world.

Serena stopped by Joe’s podcast “Click Bait with Bachelor Nation” and the two talked about everything from meeting each other’s families to how it’s been difficult to be apart, even for short periods of time.

Serena explained that when she and her fiancé Joe first met in “Paradise,” they got to spend all day every day together, but it isn’t always like that now.

“We met and then we were never separated from each other. We had never had time apart. We were together morning to night, all day, every single day for a full month straight. Then we got engaged and spent a couple days together in Mexico. Then we were together for 10 days nonstop because we couldn’t go anywhere,” the Bachelor Nation star explained.

Serena revealed that eventually, she and Joe started their long-distance/going back-and-forth relationship when she went home to Canada for two and a half weeks to see her family. They revealed that those weeks felt “really long.” Joe said that the most time they go without seeing each other is around a week now.

Serena gushed over her fiancé, listing her favorite things about him, like his “sense of humor, because we’re always laughing and having fun. We have a very playful relationship. And how caring you are with the people in your life, both me and your family and friends. You’re very thoughtful.”

The couple also had some fun and listened back to Joe’s very first impression of Serena, long before they met on the beaches of “Paradise.”

Joe played back the episode of “Click Bait” where he, Tayshia, and Natasha discussed the women on Bachelor Matt James’ season, including Serena.

Joe immediately said he thought Serena would be the winner and shared how he thought she was “really, really pretty.”

“I think she’s really attractive and I’m basing this pretty much off of looks because right now we don’t have anything else besides a paragraph. So if I’m going to base it off of looks, she’s got really nice skin, I really like her hair. I understand that this answer could be shallow, but that’s all I have to work with,” Joe said almost a year ago.

Serena laughed, saying, “Wow, you really liked me! It’s good you were saying that about me and not someone else!”

She also shared her first impression of Joe after listening to an episode of “Click Bait” when her fellow Bachelor Nation star Bri Springs was a guest.

Serena said she remembered thinking, “Oh! He’s cute!” and even told Bri that she was interested in Joe.

We’ve come a long way since those initial impressions and now Joe and Serena are happily engaged! What a sweet full-circle moment.

“Click Bait” co-hosts Natasha Parker and Tia Booth both gushed over Joe and Serena and said they are proof that the show really can work and lead to true love.
