The Bachelor: Is Joey Graziadei And Kelsey Anderson's Hard Partying Lifestyle A Sign Of Trouble In Paradise?
The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have been enjoying their celebrity status, but is their hard-partying lifestyle a sign of trouble in paradise? 28-year-old Joey is no stranger to celebrity, having now appeared in three network television reality shows. The tennis pro from Hawaii made his television debut as a contestant on Charity Lawson's season of The Bachelorette. When Joey came in second place to Dotun Olubeko, he was devastated, but his Bachelor journey was just getting started. It wasn't long before Joey was announced as The Bachelor season 28's male lead.
During the preimere of The Bachelor season 28, Joey found himself at theBachelor mansion, greeting 32 single women arriving via a fleet of limousines. Among the women was Kelsey, a 26-year-old junior project manager from New Orleans, Louisiana. The two connected right away, and the season ended with Joey giving Kelsey his final rose. They left the show as an engaged couple, and they've parlayed their TV appearances into careers as public figures and social media influencers. Now that they have fame and fortune, their new, hard-partying celebrity lifestyle may threaten their relationship.
Joey & Kelsey Moved To Los Angeles
City Of Angels Gets Two New Residents
After leaving The Bachelor season 28, Joey and Kelsey decided they wanted to live together immediately. They were deeply in love, and the last thing they wanted was to live in separate places. At the time, Joey didn't have a home. Since he had been filming Bachelor shows, he had given up his apartment and had been staying on his sister's couch. They both moved into Kelsey's old place, along with her multiple female roommates. The odd set-up worked for them because the couple was traveling so much at the time.
When Joey was cast in Dancing With The Stars season 33, Joey and Kelsey packed up their lives and moved to Los Angeles, where the dance competition films before a live studio audience. With Kelsey by his side, Joey impressed everyone by winning the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy along with his professional dance partner Jenna Johnson. Once the competition ends, Joey and Kelsey decided to move to Los Angeles for good. Since moving to the city, they've been spotted partying and enjoying their celebrity status all over town.
Joey & Kelsey's Hard Partying Lifestyle
"Naughty AND Nice"
LA is a great city in which to be a young celebrity. There are a lot of places to go, so many events to attend, and an entire network of other reality television stars to hang out with. Kelsey recently posted Instagram photos of the happy couple enjoying a fun night out. In the photos, Joey and Kelsey are having fun with several of their friends at a holiday party. The post has a whopping 160K likes, and Kelsey's caption reads, "Naughty or nice?what about naughty AND nice ?!"
Partying Is Joey & Kelsey's Job Sometimes
They've Partnered Up With An Iconic Liquor Company
Partying has been a common theme for Joey and Kelsey since getting engaged on The Bachelor season 28. They've been cleverly using their reality TV show fame to catapult themselves into new careers as social media influencers. Joey currently has 982K Instagram followers and 401K TikTok followers. For her part, Kelsey has 825K Instagram followers and 648K followers on TikTok. With such large followings, they've racked up a long list of partnerships. The fame could inflate Joey and Kelsey's egos.
Joey and Kelsey's rise as prominent public figures has garnered them multiple partnerships with major companies, including Wawa and Amazon.
Joey and Kelsey have also worked with Patron, the premium liquor company. Recently, Joey and Kelsey posted photos from a night out with Patron premium alcohol. The carousel of photos features more shots of Joey and Kelsey's night out at a Los Angeles bar with friends.

Winning Dancing With The Stars 33 has upped Joey's celebrity status, and he's received even more offers since taking home the grand prize. In addition to being a long-running hit television series, DWTS is also a live show that tours all over the country. According to the DWTS tour dates website, The Bachelor star is scheduled to make guest appearances on the live show. Some of the cities listed as tour dates include Nashville, Atlantic City, Boston, and many more. With Joey potentially traveling all over the country, it's unclear if Kelsey will join him on the road.
Joey and Kelsey's new lifestyle may not be conducive to a successful relationship.
Los Angeles isn't known for being a romantic city, and it's not a great place to start a family. If Joey and Kelsey aren't careful, The Bachelor couple may find that their partying lifestyle will get in the way of their love story. In a city where there's always another party to go to, the lure of the next best thing may keep Joey and Kelsey from ever walking down the aisle.
