Reality television personalities Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile, well-known for their journey on ABC's 'Bachelor in Paradise,' are embarking on a new venture with the launch of their weekly video podcast. Titled 'Not Married to This,' the show will offer an intimate look into their post-show life, covering everything from their significant age gap to debates on pop culture phenomena and insights from their reality TV background. This collaboration with Alex Cooper's Unwell Network aims to bring their unique dynamic and perspectives to a broader audience, expanding on the connection they've fostered with fans since their on-screen romance.
The eagerly anticipated podcast, 'Not Married to This,' is scheduled to debut on March 12 across major audio platforms such as SiriusXM, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. The couple, who captivated viewers with their genuine relationship on 'Bachelor in Paradise,' promise to explore a wide array of subjects. Topics will include navigating their 11-year age difference—Serena is 28 and Joe is 39—and engaging in lively discussions about pop culture, such as the lasting influence of Lizzie McGuire. Furthermore, the show will feature relationship advice and in-depth interviews with other reality TV stars, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the genre from their experienced viewpoint.
Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile's love story began during Season 7 of 'Bachelor in Paradise,' culminating in Joe's proposal on the beach. Their relationship solidified with their marriage in New York City in October 2022. Alex Cooper, host of the highly successful 'Call Her Daddy' podcast and founder of the Unwell Network, expressed her enthusiasm for the couple's new project. Cooper highlighted Pitt and Amabile's ability to offer a fresh, engaging perspective on trending topics, blending fan insights with their personal experiences to create compelling and entertaining conversations.
In a joint statement, Serena and Joe shared their excitement about this new chapter, viewing it as a natural progression in their journey together.

This initiative reflects their desire to further engage with the community that has supported their relationship from its very beginning, promising an unfiltered and personal sharing of their ongoing life and experiences.
This new podcast aligns with the expanding reach of Alex Cooper's Unwell Network, which was launched in 2023 through Trending, a media company co-founded with her husband, Matt Kaplan. Cooper, who secured a substantial multiyear deal with SiriusXM in 2024, continues to grow her network, which already includes popular shows like 'Extra Dirty with Hallie Batchelder,' 'In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele,' and 'Boyfriend Material With Harry Jowsey.' The addition of 'Not Married to This' further diversifies the network's offerings, tapping into the enduring appeal of reality TV personalities and their personal narratives.
The podcast aims to be a candid exploration of the couple's life, offering fans a deeper connection beyond their reality TV appearances. Through their discussions on various subjects, including their relationship dynamics and cultural commentary, Serena and Joe are set to provide both entertainment and relatable content. Their platform will also serve as a space for fellow reality TV veterans to share their stories, enriching the fan experience with authentic and insightful conversations.
