The Bachelor: I Think Joey Graziadei Being On The Road So Much Lately Has Been Good For His Relationship With Kelsey Anderson

The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei has been on the road a lot lately, and I think it'll be good for his relationship with Kelsey Anderson. 28-year-old Joey and 26-year-old Kelsey Anderson haven't spent much time apart since getting engaged well over a year ago, so a little time apart may be what they need. They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and life allows them to test out the theory. The couple were used to being together all the time. They moved in together right away after leaving the iconic Bachelor mansion.

Joey and Kelsey have been together almost constantly since meeting on The Bachelor season 28. It's as if they never wanted to leave each other's side again. It's a romantic notion, but it can be challenging for new partners. Understandably, they'd want to get to know each other as quickly as possible. They had, after all, just gotten engaged on national television. It was clear from day one that Joey and Kelsey were going to commit to the process. Read on for why I think a little absence may be just what they need.

Joey & Kelsey's Whirlwind Romance

One Of The Franchise's Best Couples

Before Joey met Kelsey on The Bachelor season 28, he appeared on The Bachelorette season 20. Joey fell hard for Charity Lawson, and he made it to her final two, but she gave her final rose to another man. Joey was devastated by the rejection, but it ended up working out in his favor. He went on to meet Kelsey, and the two fell deeply in love. As far as I'm concerned, they're definitely in the running for one of the franchise's best couples.

Kelsey struggled with her heartbreak before appearing on The Bachelor season 28. Her mother, Denise Anderson, had passed away in 2018, and Kelsey was still reeling from the loss. Though Joey was dating no fewer than 31 other women, he made Kelsey feel safe. After a season of falling in love, Joey gave Kelsey his final rose, his heart, and a diamond engagement ring. The Bachelor 28 ended with Joey and Kelsey riding off into the sunset together, ready to collect their happy ending.

Joey & Kelsey Are Deeply Committed

They May Have Needed The Time Apart

Joey and Kelsey are deeply committed to the relationship. They both dove into the deep end head first, and no one can ever accuse either of them of not giving the relationship a chance. Since getting engaged during The Bachelor season 28 finale, Joey and Kelsey have been together almost constantly. When Joey hit the road for a recent job opportunity, it gave the couple a little time apart, and I think that's a good thing.

Joey's Been On The Road

He's On Tour Like A Rock Star

Soon after getting engaged on The Bachelor season 28, Joey was cast in Dancing With The Stars season 33. He and his professional dance partner, Jenna Johnson, went on to win the whole season. Joey was such a hit he was asked to tour with the DWTS live show. DWTSTourOfficial posted photos of Joey's performances on Instagram. It's obvious Joey's having a great time and loves his new job. The photos feature Joey and Jenna in various costumes and dancing choreography's, including at least one group number.

The DWTS live show reunited Joey and his professional dance partner, Jenna, and the two danced together once again. Jenna recently posted fun backstage footage of her and Joey before they performed the live show. "First double show day on Tour," reads Jenna's post, which Joey also posted on his page. Joey doing two shows a day proves he's working hard. I believe being away from each other will be good for Joey and Kelsey.

A recent social media post proved how much fun Joey's been having while touring. Ezra Sosa recently shared an Instagram post with the cast on the tour bus, performing "Welcome To The Tipton" from The Suite Life Of Zack And Kody. The choreographed number includes Joey and several members of the cast performing for fun on the bus. The whole gang appears to be having such a great time, and I think it's good for couples to have fun away from each other sometimes.

Kelsey Missed Him

"See U Soon Pookie"

A wise man once said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and Joey and Kelsey may prove that wise man correct. The couple moved in together immediately after The Bachelor season 28 finale, so they're not used to spending so much time apart. Kelsey recently posted a TikTok of herself lip-syncing to Joey with a caption that reads, "See u soon pookie." Joey responded to the steamy message with his own, "LET'S GO."

Being away from each other for short periods can give couples a chance to miss each other a little. Joey on the road seems to have accomplished just that for The Bachelor season 28 couple. Joey and Kelsey have been engaged for well over a year and are expected to announce a wedding date at some point soon. They've been smart about how they've handled their relationship, and I think Joey's recent time on the road has been good for them.
