In an interview with Daily Mail Australia<\/a>, the groom addressed the constant speculation regarding his sexuality once and for all, saying: \u201cI\u2019ve heard that since I was 12. I always liked to dress well, I was flamboyant. But I\u2019ve always liked women, end of.\u201d<\/p>\n Joel said he has been \u201chiding from the world\u201d for a long time and \u201cbeen afraid of being seen and heard,\u201d so he decided to show his true self on the reality TV show and have a bit of fun.<\/p>\n Credit: Channel Nine<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone is always so serious, copy and paste, cookie-cutter, same nonsense. How about let\u2019s just have some fun? Why does it have to be 90 per cent serious and 10 per cent funny? Why can\u2019t it be the opposite?\u201d he continued, speaking about his wild wedding speech. \u201cThey cut out most of the heartfelt stuff, obviously. But look, I wouldn\u2019t change a word. I thought it was hilarious.\u201d<\/p>\n Going on the reality show felt like the \u201capex\u201d of his personal transformation and his true \u201cdestiny,\u201d where he could finally be himself. He said: \u201cAs soon as I had the first call with casting, I felt something happen. It felt like magic in the room. I thought, this is mine if I want it.\u201d<\/p>\n He also called out Juliette, who ripped into him for no reason<\/a> at all at the latest dinner party, \u00a0for not being able to see through his humour. \u201cIf you misunderstand me that much, it really throws me off. A wise woman would see through the humour and see the true person underneath that.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/VS-MarriedatFirstSightAustralia-Series13Episode19Channel4-6028-1024x576.jpeg\")
