Speak with We weekly After Tuesday’s live broadcast, the former bachelor expressed his shock about the result.

“I don’t even know how I felt. I honestly blacked out,” Joey shared Us. “I just remember (Jenna) screaming really, really loud. I remember hugging her.”

“I remember Val (Chmerkovski) comes in,” he added, referring to last season’s winning professional dancer – and Jenna’s husband – who presented them with the trophy. “I remember this (trophy) was heavier than I thought it was going to be and that was it. That’s where we are now. And now we are here.”

Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson continue to find success on their Dancing With the Stars journey, but they’ve hit the occasional obstacle along the way. “It’s a process. From the beginning, we felt really comfortable with each other and there was an unspoken trust,” Joey, 29, told Us Weekly exclusively on Tuesday, November 12 (…)

For her part, Jenna said it was a privilege to receive the Mirrorball Trophy from her husband, who won season 32 with actress Xochitl Gomez.

“(I felt) so much pure love and joy. That was a really special moment that I don’t think has ever happened before,” Jenna said of Val, 38. “So many people told me they have videos of him freaking out and I can’t wait to see them. He has been my biggest supporter because of this. He is now mom and dad to us while I get ready for this final. So I’m so grateful to him.”

Jenna said her trophy will “probably go right next to Val’s” trophy from last season, while Joey revealed that he and his fiancée Kelsey Andersonto whom he asked the question Bachelor season 28, recently moved to Los Angeles and he plans to decorate their new apartment with his trophy.
