Bethesda Man Competing On 'The Bachelorette' Ready For Marriage

BETHESDA, MD — A Bethesda man will be among those vying to win the heart of a single womanduring the upcoming season ABC's hit show "The Bachelorette."

In case you're a newcomer to the reality drama, "The Bachelorette" is a spin-off of "The Bachelor," and follows a leading lady on her quest for love. Over the course of the season, the bachelorette dates multiple men until she finds a potential husband.

On season 15 of "The Bachelorette," Joey Jones — a 33-year-old finance manager from Bethesda — will try to outlast 32 other contestants and win Hannah Brown's heart.

"Joey spent his 20s having adventures and starting his career. He's lived in Australia, Hong Kong and San Francisco; and while he still loves adventures, his priority now is looking for a life partner to settle down and have children with," according to the show's mini-biography on him. "He is excited to be married, have a house with a pool in the backyard and a couple of kids running around. Hopefully, Hannah likes minivans."

While Joey's sister, Bridgette Jones, couldn't reveal much about the competition, she said that she is excited to see him on this journey.

"We are really excited for him and we wish him the best in this journey," Bridgette said.

At 33, Joey is the oldest contestant looking for love this season.

Brown — an interior designer from Alabama — is 24. Before becoming the Bachelorette, Brown was a contestant on the 23rd season of "The Bachelor."

"Whether she is running around with her two golden retrievers, taking over the dance floor or belting out country tunes, Hannah enjoys living life to the fullest," according to Brown's mini-biography. "All that is missing is someone who will choose her every single day."

Will Hannah find love this time around? Only time will tell. ABC's "The Bachelorette" premieres Monday, May 13, at 8 p.m.
