The Bachelor: 8 Times Maria Georgas Posted Family Photos On Instagram

Maria Georgas, one of The Bachelor season 28’s standout stars, loves her family and often posts photos of her family on Instagram. This season of The Bachelor introduced tennis pro Joey Graziadei to 32 women, the biggest number of women competing in any past season. Among the hopeful single women was Maria, a quirky 29-year-old executive assistant from Kleinburg, Ontario, Canada.

Joey and Maria hit it off, despite the fact that she found herself caught up in an obnoxious drama with some of the other women vying for Joey’s heart. Joey ultimately gave Maria one of his four hometown dates and met her family, including family patriarch Nick Georgas. Joey eliminated Maria after hometown dates, but at least viewers got to meet Maria’s family, who are very important to her. Read for 8 times that The Bachelor season 28 star Maria posted family photos to Instagram.

The Georgas Family In Sepia

Family First

On March 5, Maria posted an old photo to her Instagram that was taken long before she was a contestant on The Bachelor 28. In one of those novelty costume photos taken at theme parks, a very young Maria is in western garb with her father, Nick Georgas, her mother, Lori Georgas, and her brother, Soto and Steve Georgas, in costumes. In the caption, Maria reflects on her time on The Bachelor, writing, “I want to thank my family and friends who have supported me through this journey.”

Like Father Like Daughter

Birthday Boy

On June 26, 2023, Maria posted a photo of herself with her dad, Nick, to Instagram. Her caption read, “The man, the myth, the legend,” adding, “Happy Birthday pops. 60 never looked better.” In the photo, The Bachelor season 28 star and her dad are matching, both wearing all black outfits, with their top buttons dramatically undone.

“Dad should be the next Golden Bachelor if he is single.”

Maria & Her Parents

Close Knit Family

In June 2021, Maria, a self-described “daddy’s girl,” posted a Father’s Day message to Nick, with a photo of Nick flanked by Maria and her mother, Lori. In the comment section, Nick wrote back, “Thank you. I love you. Your my everything. The love of my life.” After Nick’s appearance on The Bachelor 28, fans scrolled back to past posts to register their approval. Despite Maria’s mom being in the photo, one user gushed, “Dad should be the next Golden Bachelor if he is single.”

“It’s so refreshing to see a real loving family that does not fit into a mold.”

Maria & Nick Georgas Selfie

Joey Didn’t Stand A Chance

In June 2019, Maria posted an outdoor selfie of her with her dad, Nick. In another birthday greeting, Maria’s caption read, “Happy birthday to the best man in my life!” It’s probably a good thing that Joey eliminated Maria from The Bachelor 28, because there’s no way he would have been able to compete with her father. Fans of The Bachelor took a liking to Maria’s family, especially her father. One person in the comment section wrote, “Coolest dad ever. Rock star,” while another said, “It’s so refreshing to see a real loving family that does not fit into a mold.”

Throwback

Old School

In a blast from the past, Maria posted an old school Instagram family photo of herself as a little girl with her dad and her two brothers seated together on a bench outdoors. “Happy Father’s Day pops,” reads Maria’s caption, to which Nick comments, “My babies.” When Joey met Maria’s family during The Bachelor 28 hometown visits, Maria showed him a slideshow of old family photographs, which could have included this one.

“Happy Father’s Day to my dads.“

Nick Georgas & Vin Diesel

The Pacifier

On another Father’s Day post, Maria posted an Instagram photo of a young Nick posing with a young Vin Diesel, taken in or around 2005, with a caption that reads, “Happy Father’s Day to my dads.” According to IMDB, Maria appeared in the 2005 film, The Pacifier, starring action star Vin Diesel. She was about 11 years old at the time, and it’s her only theatrical listing, other than her appearances on or related to The Bachelor season 28. Nick, the president of a company that makes sprinkles for baked goods, has always supported his daughter’s goals.

Hey Baby!

#daddysgirl

Long before she appeared on The Bachelor season 28, way back in 2016, Maria posted a baby photo to Instagram. In the photo, Nick is holding his adorable infant daughter, and he couldn’t possibly look any happier. The caption under the post reads, “Me and the boss. #daddysgirl.” When Joey met Maria’s father, he was able to procure his blessing, but it wasn’t easy for Nick, who made it clear that he didn’t want his daughter to get hurt. Sadly, at the end of the episode, Joey gave his overnight dates to Daisy Kent, Kelsey Anderson, and Rachel Nance.

“TEAM MARIA.”

Maria’s Bachelor Family

A Unique Bond

There’s the family you’re born to, and there’s the family you make when you go on a reality television dating show. Now that she’s officially a part of Bachelor Nation, Maria shares a unique bond with other members of that group. On February 8, Maria posted a photo from an early episode of The Bachelor season 28. The picture is a photo taken during a group date that involved a talent show. Maria, whose talent was an impressive array of acrobatics, didn’t win the talent show. Though Joey eliminated her, many fans want Maria to be The Bachelorette. Or as one fan in the comment section put it, “TEAM MARIA.”
