Welcome back, Southern Hospitality! The reality series makes its return and stars Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese are spilling some tea about their surprising love story and their Las Vegas wedding.
The Bravo couple revealed details previously unknown to fans. And it looks like they’ve been keeping secrets (and keeping them well) for longer than we thought!
Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese’s relationship went from 0 to 100, complete with a Vegas wedding
Joe and Maddi spoke to PopCulture and revealed they had been dating for a while and the new season of the show finally brought their relationship to light.
“It was crazy because we had to hide our relationship all year,” Joe said. The couple admitted to being together for almost eight months before their surprise nuptials. “And then we see the (Season 3) trailer and it goes from zero to 100. The trailer shows the whole world that we’re getting married in Vegas.”
And everyone was indeed shocked when the Southern Hospitality trailer dropped and highlighted the Elvis-officiated wedding.
Joe shared that the details of their shotgun wedding were complex. And while he’d love to definitively share whether he and Maddi are “legally married,” he’d rather fans follow their “love journey through the summer and see what happens.”
He added, “It’s such an epic moment in the season. And to show you a ring or anything would be too big of a spoiler.”
He did share some of the wedding aftermath though. “I think the biggest thing on my mind on the flight home (from Sin City) after the wedding was to talk to Maddi’s parents. We’re very close with our family. So telling her dad afterward was definitely hilarious.”
The couple had to deal with quite a bit in the aftermath of their “crazy decisions” and sudden nuptials, but they both admitted to having no regrets looking back.
Season 3 of Southern Hospitality is on Bravo Thursdays at 9/8c, with new episodes on Peacock the next day. Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Peacock.
