Who Are Joey and Justin on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’? Meet The Young Twins

No, you haven’t been watching Bachelor in Paradise so long that you’re seeing double. A set of TWINS really just trotted down the sacred Paradise staircase.

The two young lads who look nearly identical were seen joining Paradise‘s Season 8 cast in previews for Episode 11. Those who endured the most recent season of The Bachelorette may remember the bros as twins Joey and Justin Young. But they were eliminated from the season so quickly that we wouldn’t blame you if you already erased them from your mind to make room for new Bachelor Franchise knowledge.

Wondering who the Bachelor in Paradise twins are? Why Joey and Justin Young got eliminated from The Bachelorette so quickly? And what their general deal is? Here’s everything you need to know about the dynamic duo rolling in late to Season 8.

Who are the twins on Bachelor in Paradise? Meet Joey and Justin Young

Joey and Justin Young are 24-year-old twins from Brookfield, Connecticut, who were on the most recent season of The Bachelorette (Season 19). The two briefly got to know dual leads Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia, but were eliminated Night 1, so they didn’t get much screen time.

Nearly everything you need to know about Joey and Justin’s time in the Bachelor Mansion can be found in the hilariously brutal 1:27 second edit below, in which Gabby looks like she’s training herself to sleep with her eyes open. Rachel makes an effort to ask the twins about their hobbies and differences, but the two just keep talking about how similar they are, how they went to the same school (Quinnipiac University), and how they’re both in medical advertising — but at separate companies! Gabby, who revealed the twins “ain’t doing it for me” in a confessional, finally decided to have some fun with the boys and asked if they could read each other’s minds. They basically said yes, then asked Rachel and Gabby if they could read each other’s minds too??? To which Gabby explained, “We weren’t in the womb together.” Amazing.

If you’re struggling to tell these two guys apart, that’s understandable. It’s worth remembering that Justin wears gold chains around his neck and Joey wears silver chains, but their ABC bios can also give some additional insight into their individual personalities and interests.

Per Joey’s bio, he’s “a loveable goofball” who “loves to hit the clubs in New York City for a night out with the boys or spend time at home unwinding from a hard day’s work” with…yep, you guessed it, Justin. He’s on the hunt for someone “affectionate, family-oriented, and sweet.” He loves hugs, go-karting, and cheeseburgers, but “nothing makes Joey happier than winning.” Hmm…

Justin’s bio claims he’s “the life of the party!” Like Joey, Justin loves clubbing in New York, but he’s described as “a hardworking go-getter” who’s “attentive and loyal.” Justin is searching for a woman who’s “honest, outgoing, and family-oriented.” He loves good communication, the Lakers, and the early ’90s. He also wants to learn how to salsa dance, so perhaps someone can teach him on the beach. If not, there’s always the Bachelor Franchise to Dancing With The Stars pipeline he can shoot for. Perhaps Gabby can hook him up.
