CBSN
After receiving comments and questions about his "yellow eyes," "Bachelor" star Joey Graziadei took to social media Thursday to reveal he has Gilbert syndrome, a liver condition that can affect the color of your skin and eyes.
Gilbert syndrome is an inherited disorder that "affects the liver's ability to process bilirubin, a waste product that forms during the breakdown of old red blood cells," the Cleveland Clinic explains. When too much bilirubin builds up in the blood, jaundice — or yellowish skin and eyes — can occur.
Graziadei says he was diagnosed with Gilbert syndrome when he was in high school, but his health is fine.
