Joe Amabile is making things easier for his upcoming surgery.
The Bachelor alum, 40, showed off his brand-new buzz cut about a week after revealing that he was diagnosed with an early-stage brain tumor.
The video on Instagram shows him removing his sunglasses and looking at the camera with his new haircut. He then proceeds to walk away with a smile on his face.
“Might as well give them easy access,” he captioned the post on Friday, July 17.
His wife, Serena Pitt, showed her support in the comments section, writing, “You finally found a reason to get a buzz cut that I couldn’t say no to!”
Reality TV star Joey Graziadei also weighed in with, “Kid cleans up nice.”
Amabile, also known as “Grocery Store Joe,” revealed his diagnosis on July 13.
“So a little medical update. I didn’t share my Prenuvo results because they ended up finding a lesion in my brain,” he said in an Instagram video. “So then I had to go get a brain MRI, and there was a blueberry-sized lesion in my brain that looks to be a glioma, which is a tumor.”
Amabile said he’s scheduled to undergo brain surgery to remove and test the tumor.
Amabile and Pitt, 28, opened up about his diagnosis on the July 16 episode of their podcast, Not Married to This.

He shared that he wasn’t experiencing any severe symptoms before the tumor was found.
“For the most part, I don’t really have symptoms. I mean, I could kind of go back. It’s hard now because now I do feel like I might have symptoms, but some of those are self-induced. So that’s a difficult territory,” he said.
The Dancing with the Stars alum also shared more about his surgery that is scheduled for the end of the month.
“The surgery is very dangerous. It’s a craniotomy, which is scary. It’s a serious surgery,” he said.
Pitt added that the tumor is “slow-growing, but the likelihood of it growing into something aggressive or problematic is very high.”
