7 Signs The Bachelor 28's Joey Graziadei And Kelsey Anderson Will Get Married In 2025 (They're Finally Ready To Plan A Wedding)

It's been well over a year since Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson got engaged on The Bachelor season 28, and there are signs they'll be getting married in 2025. It's hard to articulate what a big deal Joey and Kelsey's wedding would be, as they are Bachelor Nation royalty. Due in part to their social media presence, they're arguably the most closely watched couple in all Bachelor history. 28-year-old Joey made his television debut during The Bachelorette season 20, but when Charity Lawson chose another man, Joey was cast as the franchise's next male lead instead.

The consolation prize turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to Joey because, among the 32 women he dated during the season, was 26-year-old Kelsey. The Bachelor season 28 ended with Joey giving Kelsey his final rose and a sparkling diamond engagement ring. The engaged couple jumped headfirst into the relationship and even moved in together right away. They've been together ever since, and they've been building a new life together while sharing their relationship milestones on social media. Read on for seven signs that Joey and Kelsey will be walking down the aisle in 2025.

7Joey's Working On His Husband Skills

He Checked Another Item Off His 30-Before-30 Bucket List

Joey must be thinking about marrying Kelsey soon because The Bachelor recently posted Instagram images of himself working on improving his husband skills. In the photos, Joey takes a cooking class with his friends, and his final dish looks delicious. Whenever they finally find time to plan their wedding, Kelsey can expect Joey to make himself useful in the kitchen. Taking a cooking class was another item on Joey's 30 before 30 list. It's a clear sign that Joey is thinking about the future.

6Joey & Kelsey Moved To Los Angeles

They're Deeply Committed To Each Other

When Joey and Kelsey left after The Bachelor season 28 finale, they wanted to move in together right away. After the long road they took to find each other, they never wanted to be away from each other again. They both moved into Kelsey's old place, which was a rental she shared with multiple female roommates. Though awkward, the arrangement worked for them at first because they were traveling so much.

When Joey was cast in ABC's Dancing With The Stars season 33, they both packed up their lives and moved to Los Angeles, where the dance competition films. After Joey won the whole season, he and Kelsey decided to stay in Los Angeles for the long run. The fact that they're so committed to each other that they'd live together with such long-term plans is a sign that they'll be hearing wedding bells soon.

5Kelsey's Been Trying On Dresses

"Love And Intention In Every Stitch"

Since being cast in The Bachelor season 28, Kelsey's star has been on the rise. Some people just have an intangible star quality, and Kelsey's one of them. She's racked up multiple impressive partnerships with major brands, including mega retailer David's Bridal. Kelsey recently posted an Instagram clip of herself trying on a dazzling array of wedding dresses in multiple different wedding-themed settings. If this doesn't make her want to start planning her wedding, nothing will. "The David’s Bridal Spring 2025 collection has love and intention in every stitch," reads Kelsey's caption.

"There are so many parts of this experience that have been unbelievable for me and it’s going to be hard to close this chapter."

Fans have to remember that Joey and Kelsey were complete strangers before getting engaged. They literally didn't know each other at all until they met on the premiere night of The Bachelor season 28, so it's understandable that they want to take their time. That being said, Joey and Kelsey already live like a married couple, so all that's left to do is to make it official.

4Joey's Done Touring Dancing With The Stars

He May Finally Have The Time To Get Married

One reason Joey and Kelsey haven't announced a wedding date is that they've simply been too busy. They've been so focused on their careers. Joey's been on the road with the DWTS live show, but he recently announced the end of his contract on Instagram. "Today marks the end of my DWTS journey," reads Joey's caption. "There are so many parts of this experience that have been unbelievable for me and it’s going to be hard to close this chapter." Walking away from DWTS won't be easy for Joey, but it may give him more time to plan his wedding.

3Joey & Kelsey Promised A Wedding Soon

"Definitely Within The Next Two Years"

Since leaving The Bachelor season 28, Joey and Kelsey have been focused on growing their careers as public figures and social media influencers. In August 2024, Kelsey and Joey posted an Instagram sponsorship with the convenience store chain, Wawa. In the clip, when fans ask about a wedding date, Kelsey replies, "definitely within the next two years." She went on to say that they'd pick a date "within the next six months." Since that was about nine months ago, The Bachelor couple could make an announcement any day now.

Joey and Kelsey's wedding plans have been a subject of consternation for fans of The Bachelor. The last Bachelor Nation wedding was Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist of The Golden Bachelor season 1, which ended in tears after a rushed wedding and three months of long-distance marriage. It's probably a good thing that Joey and Kelsey have decided to take things at a more realistic pace.

2Joey & Kelsey Are Talking About Starting A Family

They're Already Thinking About Having Children

Another sign that Joey and Kelsey will get married this year is that they're already talking about having children. During the Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour podcast with Susan Noles and Kathy Swarts from The Golden Bachelor season 1, Kelsey revealed she and Joey both wanted children, but they didn't see eye to eye on the number. Kelsey wants as many children as possible and even wants to adopt one, while Joey wants two or three children at the most.

"We've met with a wedding planner. We're excited about trying to figure out when that date is going to be."

Joey and Kelsey both come from bigger families. Joey is one of three children and is very close to his two sisters. Kelsey is one of five children, so she's used to a large family. Kelsey is also eager to strengthen family bonds after losing her beloved mother, Denise Anderson, in 2018. Kelsey and Denise were very close, and Kelsey is still deeply in mourning for her mother. For a long time, she couldn't think about planning a wedding because it always made her think of her mother, which was too hard. The fact that they're negotiating about children could mean they'll be getting married soon.

1Joey & Kelsey Hired A Wedding Planner

"That's The Start Of The Process"

Up until recently, Joey and Kelsey were in no rush to plan a wedding, but The Bachelor season 28 stars just took a big step in the matrimonial process. "We've met with a wedding planner," Joey told People. "We're excited about trying to figure out when that date is going to be. That's the start of the process." He went on to talk about how happy they were to start making decisions about their big day. There has been a lot of negative speculation floating about Joey and Kelsey's union, as they've spent time apart with their career choices. However, there are many signs that the couple will get married in 2025.

The Bachelor seasons 1-29 can be streamed on Hulu.
