I Believe The Bachelor’s Joey Graziadei & Kelsey Anderson’s Los Angeles Living Situation May Have Solved A Fundamental Problem (Are Kids On The Horizon?)

The Bachelor season 28’s Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson may have faced some serious backlash in their relationship before finding their home in Los Angeles, but living in LA may have resolved some of the problems they were dealing with. Throughout The Bachelor season 28, it was clear that Joey was looking for someone he could build a life with. After appearing on The Bachelorette season 20 and having his heart broken by Charity Lawson, Joey moved into a new phase of his life as the lead of the next season. As The Bachelor, Joey didn’t know what to expect.

Meeting Kelsey on The Bachelor was eye-opening for Joey, and their relationship continued to develop throughout the season. As he understood what he wanted in a partner more thoroughly in his time on the show, Joey and Kelsey began to talk about their future plans for what came next, even before he chose her as his final rose recipient. The couple got engaged during the show’s finale episode, and once they were able to reveal their relationship to the public, Joey and Kelsey began facing Bachelor Nation backlash. Despite the shady energy, the couple has moved into a new chapter.

Joey & Kelsey’s Los Angeles Home Is Keeping Them Settled

The Couple Are Finally Situated In A Place Of Their Own

Although Joey and Kelsey were facing some major backlash from Bachelor Nation after announcing their engagement and opening up about their relationship in detail in the aftermath, things seem to be a lot more settled for the pair since moving into their Los Angeles home. Joey, who had a historic win on Dancing With The Stars season 33 after his stint on The Bachelor finished, has been doing a lot of new work in the entertainment industry in LA. Kelsey, who’s been building her brand as an influencer since the show, has been happy to have him closer to home.

While there were a lot of rumors swirling after Joey and Kelsey’s engagement announcement, many of them came from speculative sources that didn’t have much basis in reality. Rather than focusing on the fact that Joey and Kelsey were both openly saying how happy they were in their relationship even if things weren’t going well in other areas, Bachelor Nation swirled things around to be about their potential issues. After finally finding a place in Los Angeles and deciding to settle in, even with a small evacuation for safety during the recent wildfires, Joey and Kelsey are doing much better.

Joey & Kelsey’s Wedding Plans Could Be Preceded By Baby News

They’re Not Having A Wedding For At Least A Year

Although Joey and Kelsey have chosen to open up about a lot of what’s been going on in their relationship, including their decision to push their wedding out at least a year, they’ve been keeping quieter about what’s next for them in general. In recent months, Kelsey shared that she and Joey likely won’t be getting married until 2026 or 2027, making it clear that it’s not because of any issue in their relationship. Instead, the couple want to focus on their relationship and be more intentional about their wedding, ensuring they do what they want rather than rushing things.

While the couple have been upfront that their plans don’t involve a 2025 ceremony, they’ve been chatting about having kids more often, which doesn’t have as much of a strict timeline around it. Though Joey and Kelsey haven’t been clear about when they want to start a family, both have been open about how much they want kids in the future, even if they don’t completely agree on how many. As Kelsey has been open about wanting to adopt children along with having biological children if possible, it could be something the couple winds up pursuing before they get married.

Have Joey & Kelsey Finally Left Their Problems Behind?

The Pair Seems To Have Stabilized

As the pair seem to be working through their issues, Joey and Kelsey have seemed a lot stronger in their relationship to me in recent months. The couple have been sharing a lot more openly on social media and in interviews, and though they often opened up about their problems or pitfalls in the past, they’ve been consciously sharing more context when they open up to dissuade misinformation or rumors. Joey, who was upfront in his defense of his fiancé in interviews throughout his DWTS appearance, has finally settled into his home with Kelsey, which has brought the couple closer.

Even with some issues still withstanding, it’s clear that Joey and Kelsey are happy together and want their relationship to succeed. In building their brands as influencers after their time on The Bachelor, both have been open about how in love they are, how happy the other has made them, and how much they’re looking forward to their future together. While all couples have their issues, it’s obvious to me that Joey and Kelsey are looking to work through any problems they encounter rather than allowing their relationship to dissolve over them.

The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC, then streams the following day on Hulu.
