Rachel was a self-described "slow burn" on Joey's season of The Bachelor, but she managed to open up enough during a one-on-one date in Spain to become one of his Final 4 bachelorettes.
Joey decided he was "all in" with Rachel in Spain, and then he met her beautiful Filipino family in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.
Rachel's parents Noela and Hakim were skeptical and cautious of their daughter falling in love with Joey, but Rachel apparently had no doubts about her blossoming relationship with The Bachelor star.
"I trust you and what you want. I know I told you before that I was, like, falling for you. Umm, but I'm definitely falling in love with you," Rachel told Joey at the end of her hometown date.
"I see a future with you, and of course I want it to be us in the end... I do choose you."
Joey responded to Rachel by saying he was so happy with where they were at and he felt hopeful and excited. Joey noted to The Bachelor cameras how he had been waiting to hear this "for weeks" and it felt "amazing."
