The Bachelor 28: Joey Graziadei's DWTS Journey Is Over (Does This Mean He Can Focus On His Relationship With Kelsey Anderson?)

The Bachelor season 28's Joey Graziadei has been on the road a lot over the last few months, but he can now focus on planning his wedding with Kelsey Anderson. Joey, a 29-year-old tennis pro, made his television debut during The Bachelorette season 20. After Charity Lawson gave her final rose to another man, Joey was devastated. He fell hard and was crushed by the loss. However, it turned out to be the best thing to happen to him, as Joey was offered the role of The Bachelor lead.

Joey kicked off The Bachelor season 28 by welcoming 32 single women to the iconic Bachelor mansion. Among the women was Kelsey, a 26-year-old junior project manager from Louisiana. In the end, Joey gave Kelsey his final rose, and the two got engaged. Since leaving the show, Joey has appeared on Dancing With The Stars and has gone on to tour with the live show. He's been on the road a lot lately. Now that his DWTS tour is over, maybe he'll finally be able to buckle down and focus on planning his and Kelsey's wedding.

Joey's Been Dancing With The Stars

Traveling The Country

Everyone knew Joey was an athlete before appearing in the cast of The Bachelorette season 20, but no one was expecting him to be such a skilled dancer. After getting engaged on The Bachelor season 29, Joey was cast in Dancing With The Stars season 33. He immediately impressed everyone and went on to win the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Joey joined the DWTS live shows, and he's been traveling around the US over the last few months. Joey's been posting many photos of his new venture, and he seems happy despite being away from Kelsey.

A brief scroll of Joey's recent Instagram posts shows him enjoying every moment of the adventure. The photos often feature Joey having a great time with his castmates and his professional dance partner, Jenna Johnson. Being separated isn't easy for any couple, but Joey and Kelsey seem to have made the best of their time apart. It's a sign of a healthy relationship.

Joey & Kelsey Have Been Spending Time Apart

"This Little Piggy Went To The Bahamas"

Though they spend a lot of time together, Joey and Kelsey also seem to spend a lot of time apart. They're often out doing their own thing, including traveling with friends. Joey recently posted Instagram images of himself taking an Italian cooking class with his friends, and his final pasta dish looks delicious. Taking a cooking class was another item on Joey's 30 before 30 list.

"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."

For her part, Kelsey recently posted since-deleted Instagram photos from her vacation to the Bahamas. Her caption read, "This little piggy went to the Bahamas." In several of her photographs, she's holding an adorable pig. These photos earned her a lot of criticism from fans in the comment section, accusing her of unethical tourism and animal exploitation. Kelsey ended up deleting the post. Joey and Kelsey often do things separately, which is probably good for their relationship.

Joey's DWTS Journey Is Over

"Today Marks The End Of My DWTS Journey"

Joey recently announced the end of his DWTS tour 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." It won't be easy for Joey to walk away from DWTS; it may give him more time to plan his wedding. After being engaged for well over a year, Joey and Kelsey recently hired a wedding planner. Bachelor Nation fans are hoping The Bachelor season 28 couple will announce their wedding date soon.
