Is The Bachelor's Joey's Indian Wells "Tennis in Paradise" Experience With Kelsey A Sign That He Puts Himself First? (I Think It's True, & There May Be Other Clues)

The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei glowed while watching tennis in beautiful Indian Wells, California, taking his fiancée Kelsey Anderson along for the ride, and more often than not, it seems like the two do what he wants. He's a wonderful guy - I don't mean any disrespect. I actually think Joey's a true gentleman - he's also handsome and fun. In fact, he's one of my favorite male reality TV stars. However, I've noticed that he seems to take the lead in his relationship.

Joey adores The Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson. He treats Kelsey like a queen, but nonetheless, when he posted about attending the 2025 BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament, it seemed like it was more his "dream come true" than her ideal vacation. He's a former tennis instructor, and Indian Wells is one of the coolest places to watch elite players compete. What could be better than watching tennis surrounded by the natural splendor of Riverside, California? For tennis fans, Indian Wells is a mecca - it's such a special place.

Joey's Living His Best Life In Indian Wells

It's Considered "Tennis Paradise"

Joey looks so content in the post above, really leaning into one of the most fulfilling tennis experiences around. Nestled in the Coachella Valley, Indian Wells is a resort city that attracts some of the most talented tennis players in the world. This year, some heavy hitters were in the mix, including Aryna Sabalenka, Felix Auger, and Carlos Alcaraz.

Of course, celebrity fans are there to soak up the sun and watch the sparks fly on the court, including Joey and his true love, Kelsey. Hopefully, she's into the sport too - otherwise it was probably a long day for her up in the stands. Tennis fans sometimes sit still for hours, watching matches unfold. If a person isn't passionate about the sport, it may seem like a lot.

Kelsey didn't post about the experience on Instagram, but Joey did. However, she has been trying on wedding dresses for her followers, thanks to a partnership with a fashion designer. So, maybe she'll get her wedding soon, and that will be a dream event that she and Joey will always remember. People may wonder why they haven't married yet, but really, it seems like they're just busy, perhaps because Joey's got so much going on.

Joey Convinced Kelsey To Move To Los Angeles

He Probably Wants To Stay In Hollywood

Joey, who has had money problems in the past, seems to be doing well now. His winning stint on Dancing With The Stars season 33 earned him plenty of respect, and some cold, hard cash too (oh, and a pretty and prestigious Mirrorball Trophy). He says that his financial problems were not as serious as they were believed to be, although his credit rating tanked for a time because he missed a payment. That kind of stuff happens to many people, so it's not surprising that Joey addressed the "money issues" backlash to clear the air.

His Dancing With The Stars appearance helped his career, cementing his fame. However, there was a bit of a downside, as Kelsey was hassled about the fact that Joey was getting so close to another woman - his partner, Jenna Johnson. Kelsey had to take to social media to talk people down, assuring them she believed in Joey, and that he and the dancer were just doing their jobs, which is one hundred percent true. However, with that, Joey's choice to go on the show opened Kelsey up to shade from fans, so maybe it wasn't the best experience for her.

Kelsey's Been True Blue For Joey Through It All

She Deserves A Fabulous Wedding

Since Kelsey goes where he wants to go and supports him through thick and thin, she deserves a dream wedding as soon as possible. Judging by Joey's sweet and sincere proposal, as seen above, he wants those nuptials too. It would be amazing to see these two get married - Kelsey, whose father is The Golden Bachelorette alum Mark Anderson, is such a natural beauty, and so down to earth. She has some of her father's tenderhearted charm, but she will stand up for herself and her relationship when she has to.

The Bachelor's Joey showed the world that he's all about Kelsey by asking for a pro dancer who was happily partnered. Joey's famous "diva request" was really the most thoughtful thing he could have done. I love this couple together, but really, I think Joey should marry Kelsey soon, just because there's so much chatter about why they haven't tied the knot.

However, this man is definitely worth waiting for. Who knows - maybe Kelsey's not quite ready to walk down the aisle either. If she is, since she's been such a great shoulder to cry on, and his ultimate cheerleader, he should take some time out for wedding planning, and just get it done. Joey is busy, but he should prioritize love, and give The Bachelor's Kelsey the status of "wife" as soon as he can. That'll make her really happy.
