As a long-time fan of the Bachelor Nation and a follower of the inspiring journey of Ilona Maher, I am wholeheartedly rooting for her to break more barriers and make history. If she decides to take on the role of The Bachelorette in 2025, I believe she would be an unforgettable lead that will captivate audiences with her wit, charm, and undeniable athleticism.
In the Paris Olympics, Ilona Maher earned many fans as part of the bronze-winning U.S. rugby team. She has since broken stereotypes on “Dancing with the Stars.” Her dance partnership with Alan Bersten has captivated audiences in the 2024 TV lineup, but could she potentially return to ABC for a more enduring connection on “The Bachelorette”? Following a popular TikTok joke with Joey Graziadei, the ex-“Bachelor” shares his thoughts on whether Maher should venture into the reality dating scene.
The DWTS Season 33 cast features not only Bachelor Nation alum Joey Graziadei, but the most recent lead of The Bachelorette, Jenn Tran. So with Ilona Maher making it clear that she’s ready to find her own perfect match, it’s not really a surprise that her fellow dancers are rubbing off on her a little bit. So how would she do on the show? Graziadei had all the confidence in the world in her, telling ET:
As a fellow gamer, let me say this: If Ilona dreams of becoming the Bachelorette or even the President, count me in as her supporter! I merely shared some playful insights on how a rose ceremony might unfold, but I’ve got no doubts that she’s got this all figured out. Whether she decides to pursue it or not, I’m confident she’ll excel and conquer whatever path she chooses.
It appears that Joey Graziadei acknowledges the Olympic athlete’s ambitions in any field she chooses. Given his ties in the reality dating industry, he offered assistance if her goal aligns with becoming the Bachelorette on the 2025 TV schedule, should that be her preference. He expressed this by saying:
There’s a chance I have acquaintances who could potentially be involved. Time will tell how things unfold. Frankly, it depends on her willingness and interest in the matter.
Following Ilona Maher’s playful comment about dating twenty men for America, the notion of her becoming the next ‘Bachelorette’ quickly gained momentum. Fanning the flames further, she collaborated with Joey Graziadei to conduct a mock rose ceremony in an impressive TikTok video that rapidly became popular. After watching this, it’s clear why Maher’s season of ‘The Bachelorette’ would be a must-see TV event.

As a longtime fan of all things Bachelor Nation, I would kill for a lead who was honest enough to say things like, “You all are beautiful, but I don’t like all of you,” or to give someone a rose and then tell them their vibe has been terrible. Ilona Maher’s DWTS expert is all in on the idea, too, but Alan Bersten’s got some requirements for the men who court his partner, including they have to be good at contact sports (or just “strong,” Maher said) and enjoy reading. She added she wants a guy who likes food.
It doesn’t appear those conditions are overly strict, right, Bachelor producers? Given her abilities demonstrated during rose ceremonies, I believe it’s now Joey Graziadei’s turn to decide. While we wait for that, let’s tune in to witness both Graziadei and Ilona Maher in the three-hour finale of Dancing with the Stars, airing at 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 26, on ABC. For those with a Disney+ subscription, it can also be streamed.
