At the end of Dancing with the Stars' three-hour finale event for Season 33 on November 26, Joey and his professional partner Jenna Johnson were crowned champions over the runner-up couple, Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher and pro Alan Bersten.

When Dancing with the Stars host Alfonso Ribeiro and co-host Julianne Hough declared Joey and Jenna the winners, Joey acknowledged that he felt completely overwhelmed, Us Weekly reported.

"I don't even know how I felt. I honestly blacked out," Joey told the magazine of that shocking and high-energy moment.

"I just remember [Jenna] screaming really, really loud. I remember hugging her," he added.

Joey and Jenna took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy despite finishing the two-week judging leaderboard in second place behind TV star Chandler Kinney and pro partner Brandon Armstrong. (Chandler and Brandon surprisingly finished Dancing with the Stars in third place).

Since Joey apparently blacked out during the finale results, he shared what he actually remembered.

"I remember [Val Chmerkovskiy] coming in," Joey said, referring to how Jenna Johnson's husband and Dancing with the Stars' Season 32 champion handed them their sparkly trophy.

"I remember this [trophy] was heavier than I thought it was going to be and that was about it. That's where we're at now. And now we're here."

Joey and Jenna had ended the semifinals episode last week with 58 points from Dancing with the Stars Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli.

For Round 1 of the finale, Joey and Jenna took the stage with a 30-point worthy cha cha to Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop the Feeling!" for their Redemption dance.

Derek said the dance was a punctuation mark on the season, letting everyone know that's he a top contender. And Carrie Ann called Joey "consistent" and the potential winner of Season 33.

Joey and Jenna later performed a tennis-themed Freestyle to "Canned Heat" by District 78 and Jake Simpson that represented who Joey is and his former career as a tennis pro.

Joey and Jenna earned 29 points for their Freestyle routine because Carrie Ann was less than enthused about the performance.

Carrie Ann acknowledged Joey was "amazing," but then she confessed that she found the routine "underwhelming." She said some of the tennis-racket movements weren't tight enough and that Joey dropped energy in the middle of the dance.

Derek, however, gave the pair one of his famous standing ovations.

"How dare you Carrie Ann! Joey, that was phenomenal!" Derek gushed, adding how Jenna's work was incredible all season long.

For her part, Jenna told Us it was an absolute privilege to have Val -- who had won Season 32 with actress Xochitl Gomez -- involved in her shining moment.

"[I felt] just so much sheer love and joy. That was a really special moment that I don't think has ever, ever, ever happened before," Jenna gushed.

"So many people told me that they have videos of him freaking out and I can't wait to see them."

Jenna boasted about how Val was her "No. 1 supporter" through the season and really stepped up to take care of their son Rome while she worked hard week after week.

"He's been mommy and daddy for us right now while I've been getting ready for this finale. So I'm just so grateful for him," Jenna said.

Jenna shared how her trophy will "probably [be placed] right next to Val's" trophy from last season, while Joey said his prize will help decorate the new Los Angeles apartment he's sharing with The Bachelor 28 winner Kelsey Anderson.

"We just got a new apartment, so it's our first little centerpiece that we have, so it'll be somewhere," Joey noted of his uber-supportive fiancee.

Joey became the first The Bachelor star to ever win Dancing with the Stars; however, former The Bachelorette stars have a great track record of making it to the finale of the show. Kaitlyn Bristowe and Hannah Brown, for instance, won their respective seasons.

According to Alfonso, the Dancing with the Stars' Season 33 competition was "one of the closest ever" on the show.

Olympic medalist Stephen Nedoroscik and pro partner Rylee Arnold claimed fourth place, and Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola and pro partner Witney Carson landed in fifth place this season.
