After their breakup, Joey went on to date Amy Willerton – a model and former Miss Universe contestant whom he met through mutual friends. Though their romance was brief, it was intense and sparked headlines around the world.
After his split from Amy Willerton, Joey had a highly publicized flirtation with Rita Ora – though neither of them ever confirmed whether they were actually together or not. This was followed by another short-lived romance with Stephanie Pratt which ended abruptly due to conflicting schedules and rumors of cheating on both sides.

Both parties have reportedly confirmed their relationship publicly, though they have kept details about how they met under wraps so far.
