On the season finale of “The Bachelor”, Joey Graziadei was forced to make a decision.

He had to choose between two women: Daisy Kent and Kelsey Anderson.

But the show didn’t end how it normally does. Yes, Joey got engaged to Kelsey, but the way in which his relationship with Daisy ended was unlike the show had seen in recent seasons.

Instead of riding in separate cars to meet Joey for the final rose ceremony, Daisy and Kelsey rode to see Joey together. The reason? Because Daisy said she knew in her heart that despite falling for Joey, Joey didn’t love her back the same way he loved Kelsey back.

Daisy took control of the situation, ending her relationship with Joey, and returned back to Kelsey’s side. And it was what Daisy said to Kelsey in that moment that broke people’s hearts.

Before Kelsey walked to where Joey waited with a diamond ring and a question, Daisy shared one last message with Kelsey.

Kelsey lost her mom to breast cancer several years ago. It was a part of her past that Kelsey openly shared with Joey, the other contestants and the audience.

Before leaving the show, Daisy told Kelsey, “I know your mom is going to be looking down on this moment and she’s going to be so happy and so proud of you.” The moment made Kelsey cry as she hugged Daisy goodbye.
