The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei seemed devoted to Kelsey Anderson onscreen, but he might not be the ideal man, as I can see some signs of trouble. Joey seems to spend an inordinate amount of time doing things that don't involve Kelsey. One example of this is his ongoing Dancing With The Stars stint. He decided to go on a reality show without Kelsey, but did request a partner who was in a stable relationship. She may regret meeting her handsome beau someday.
He was paired with Jenna Johnson, who has been with Valentin Chmerkovskiy for over ten years - they married in 2019.
The Bachelor season 28 showed Joey becoming increasingly smitten with Kelsey. In fact, he was the perfect romantic hero, barely able to go through the motions with the other women because his feelings for Kelsey were so strong. However, despite an engagement that continues, I think that this couple is in the danger zone. They've got a range of issues that seem relatively minor - however, when all of these smaller problems are lumped together, they seem to point towards trouble in the distance.
Joey's Diva Demand On DWTS May Have Been A Red Flag
Why Was Joey Unwilling To Dance With A Single Partner?
I'm personally impressed by Joey's DWTS showmanship. His acting is good, and his dancing is definitely above par.
Joey is trying to improve his financial life and that's probably why he ended up on Dancing With The Stars. He's doing a good job on the show - he was really shining as a heavy metal drummer who started dancing. The song for that performance was "Rock You Like A Hurricane." The iconic Scorpions tune was a strange choice in light of recent hurricanes in the USA. However, it was chosen long before Joey and Jenna danced. I've seen much worse non-pro dancers on the show than Joey.
The issue with Joey's diva demand, which was that he wanted a pro partner who wasn't single, is that he might have made that request to soothe his partner, Kelsey. That's not wrong - in fact, it's considerate. That was a nice thing to do for his fiancée. The problem is that Kelsey may have asked him to do that, although she'd surely deny doing so if she was asked. On the surface, Kelsey's got her man's back, and Jenna's back. She says there's no issue, but maybe she's protesting too much.
If Kelsey does get jealous sometimes, the fact that Joey, a bright and curious Gemini man, wants to branch out and explore life could eventually ruin their relationship. Kelsey's an Aries and no one gets more jealous than an Aries, except maybe a Scorpio or Taurus. Kelsey wants to be number one and if she feels like Joey's focusing on other people too much, she'll probably become very sad.
When an Aries is sad, it often manifests as rage. They hide their hurt feelings by expressing anger, as they never want to show weakness. To them, anger is a stronger way to react.
Aries women are bossy pioneers who want things their way. If Kelsey does get jealous, it's safe to say it will be a major problem in the relationship. She may begin to resent Joey. People with Aries partners need to toe the line. If they don't, they'll ruin their relationships. The Aries will store up rage until they explode.
Joey's Money Issues Could Become Major Problems
Is He Financially Irresponsible?
As per Jason Tartick at TikTok, Joey's determined to clear up misconceptions about his financial life. As many people already know, Joey missed a credit card payment and his credit score plummeted. Most people have forgotten to make payments - it's not the end of the world, but it fueled a lot of speculation about Joey's financial life. All of a sudden, he was perceived as totally broke. In the clip above, he gets real about the situation.
Sometimes, when there's smoke, there's fire, and it's possible that Joey doesn't have a lot of money. In today's sometimes shallow society, there is often so much shame about not having a lot. Should Joey really be ashamed because he isn't wealthy? Not everyone can be rich.
Each person is on their own journey - some will have more than others. In a world where influencers preen with status handbags and people buy certain cars to show the world where they're at financially, having little is something that can trigger the poorer person. Society traps people by encouraging them to keep up with the Joneses.
For this reason, the Bachelor alum is touchy - he wants to convince people that things aren't really that bad. That's totally understandable. However, if Joey doesn't have much money, and tends to be haphazard about his financial life, there could be problems with Kelsey. She may feel like she has to be the main breadwinner. There was already a clue that money issues will come between them. When Joey, who recently flaunted a new SUV, wanted to buy a Harley, Kelsey shut him down.
Joey may ruin Kelsey's life, not just their relationship. She's been so open about believing him. If something goes wrong, she may feel humiliated. Rebounding from a breakup could be tough. It might start a domino effect that leads to her stepping back from fame. Eventually, she could shun the spotlight completely. The whole trajectory of her life could change, unless she's strong enough to fight for the life she wants. She could be.
These two may get married someday, but putting off the wedding isn't going to help them. They plan to marry years down the line - why wait so long? Obviously, they're in a position where they probably won't need to pay a single penny for their wedding. So, money is not the problem here. Maybe they're just not ready. The Bachelor star Joey, who seems to be most interested in earning cash and clout, could be a heartbreaker someday. He might not be fully committed to Kelsey.
