Joe Bradley has some major plans for the future with his girlfriend, Maddi Reese. The Southern Hospitality couple are still so in love and are now revealing where they stand in their relationship today.
Joe and Maddi appeared on the Watch What Happens Next panel at Bravo Fan Fest 2026, where it was revealed that Maddi said that she wouldn’t mind getting engaged “this month.” Joe didn’t balk at this. And while he didn’t give a specific date for when a proposal was happening, he revealed that it would be happening within the next 10 years. “It’s going to be sooner than 2036,” he said. “Are you kidding me?”
Joe continued, sharing more insight into his relationship with Maddi, whom he got fake married to during a trip to Las Vegas during Southern Hospitality Season 3. “I will say, it’s been kind of like a metamorphosis, [a] new chapter year for us,” he said. “And probably one of the best parts about this year is like, me and Maddi got a puppy together. And I think that’s been a really good testament to we’re moving in the right direction. Like, I’m figuring out a lot with my career, but I think just we’re in the right place.”
