Joey Graziadei & Kelsey Anderson May Be In It For The Fame (They Were Spotted With A Mega Celebrity)

The Bachelor season 28 ended with Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson getting engaged, but there are signs that they may be in it for fame. Joey, a 28-year-old tennis professional, was introduced to 32 eligible single women. This was historic, as it was the highest number of women to ever participate in any season of the Bachelor Nation franchise. After a whole season of romantic dates, long talks, rose ceremonies, hometown visits, overnight outings, and moments of high drama, Joey gave his final rose to 25-year-old junior project manager Kelsey.

Since The Bachelor season 28 was filmed several months before the finale aired, Joey and Kelsey had to keep their relationship a secret the whole time. It all seemed like a dream come true when the couple walked off into the sunset, hand in hand. They were seemingly deeply in love. Since the relationship was publicized, the couple hasn’t missed a single opportunity to be in the limelight. With signs of trouble on the horizon, Joey and Kelsey’s mutual love for attention may be the only thing holding the couple together.

Joey & KeIsey’s Whirlwind Romance

Perfect Match?

Joey and Kelsey had instant chemistry and hit it off right away. From the moment she stepped out of the limousine on night one of The Bachelor season 28, Kelsey immediately solidified herself as one of the season’s front-runners. Joey was immediately drawn to Kelsey’s warmth and beauty, and Kelsey was attracted to Joey’s boyish charm. Joey even leaned in and kissed Kelsey during the season’s first cocktail party.

Throughout the season, Joey had revealed that his biggest fear was that he’d meet the right woman, but she’d leave him before the season ended. He headed over to her room for the talk, bracing himself for the worst, but it turned out that Kelsey wasn’t trying to leave. She just missed Joey and wanted to see him, so she sent a note asking for an audience.

Joey was relieved, but the incident had him so shaken up that he completely shut down. It was unclear if he’d get over the scare in time to hand out his final two roses. In the end, he gave Kelsey the flower and eliminated 27-year-old Rachel Nance, narrowing his options down to Kelsey and 25-year-old Daisy Kent. In the end, Daisy realized that Joey was going to pick Kelsey, so she dumped him before he could dump her. When all was said and done, Joey gave his final rose to Kelsey.

Joey & Kelsey’s Financial Problems

Trouble In Paradise

Joey and Kelsey have been speaking publicly about their financial situation. They recently appeared on the Trading Secrets podcast, where they discussed the difficulties of juggling their new lives with their financial responsibilities. While filming The Bachelor, Joey had been so distracted that he forgot to make some credit card payments. Though they were small payments, the mistake lowered his credit score, which may have made it difficult for him to get an apartment.

Kelsey’s financial standing may not be much better. She was a successful junior project manager, but Kelsey recently quit her job. Though she says she wants to eventually go back to work, her influencer career is starting to take off, and may prevent her from going back to the corporate world. For now, she and Joey are living on multiple credit cards while they grow their brands.

Other Signs Joey & Kelsey Won’t Last

Not So Happily Ever After

In addition to their questionable financial choices, there are other signs that Joey and Kelsey may not be living happily ever after. In March, just days after The Bachelor 28 season finale aired, and the couple went public with their relationship, Joey and Kelsey told Business Insider that they were already in couples counseling.

They explained that they wanted to start counseling when things were good instead of waiting until there was conflict. They said that counseling had helped them get to know each other. It made them understand that they have different communication styles.

There are other signs of trouble. The Bachelor season 28 wrapped filming in November 2023, which is when Joey and Kelsey got engaged. That means that almost eight months have passed since Joey put a ring on Kelsey’s finger. However, the couple seem nowhere near picking a date.

During the TV Insider interview, Kelsey and Joey both said they’ve got a lot going on and don’t want to add the pressure of planning a wedding to the mix. Perhaps they’re more interested in the fame that comes along with being The Bachelor couple.
