The Bachelor: Kelsey Anderson Shouldn't Take A Break From Joey Graziadei (They're Finally Moving In The Right Direction)

The Bachelor season 28’s Kelsey Anderson may have been considering taking a break from her fiancé Joey Graziadei, but she shouldn’t now that the pair are finally moving in the right direction. Joey, who originally appeared on The Bachelorette season 20 as one of Charity Lawson’s suitors, has been described as one of the best Bachelor Nation alumni viewers have seen in years. After leaving Charity’s season heartbroken, Joey got the opportunity to lead The Bachelor season 28 where he met and fell in love with Kelsey. Despite some difficulties throughout the season, Joey and Kelsey’s connection was incredibly strong.

Joey and Kelsey have faced more than their fair share of backlash from Bachelor Nation after announcing their engagement and finally going public after The Bachelor season 28 finale. While Joey, who went on to compete on and win Dancing With The Stars season 33, did his best to combat the rumors whenever he was asked, the spread of drama took a toll on Kelsey. While she was working hard to find the humor in the rumors, Kelsey was struggling. While she was considering taking a break from Joey, Kelsey’s in the best place she’s ever been with her fiancé.

Joey & Kelsey Seem More In Sync

They’re Doing More Together

Although Joey and Kelsey have had some great moments together throughout the last few months, there have been some major disconnects in their relationship since they went public. During the airing of The Bachelor season 28, Joey and Kelsey had to keep their relationship deeply private, and coming out into the public eye wasn’t easy. Though their adjustment didn’t appear too difficult to Bachelor Nation viewers, it was tough for them to let go of the veil of privacy they were used to.

As they were adjusting to the ebb and flow of the reality TV media circuit, Joey had the opportunity to do Dancing With The Stars. While they were both excited for them to have the experience, Joey was far more removed from Kelsey than he wanted to be because of his rehearsal schedule and the live shows. Now that DWTS has come to an end and the couple are settled into their Los Angeles home, they appear to be more in sync with each other.

Joey & Kelsey's Careers Are More On Track

They’re Finally Gaining Credibility

Although some were concerned with the way Joey and Kelsey’s careers seemed to be drifting apart or taking different routes, the couple finally appear to be getting on the same page. While Joey has been doing more hosting in the last few months, he’s also been working as an influencer more often, which is something Kelsey’s been passionate about after The Bachelor. Now that Kelsey and Joey are existing in the same space, the pair appear to be open to doing more together and moving through their careers. While they still have separate ventures, they’ve been working together frequently.

Joey & Kelsey Might Be Ready To Start Planning Their Wedding

She’s Been Stalling Until Now

While Kelsey and Joey’s engagement is just a little over a year old, many have been curious about what their wedding plans are as they move further away from their season of The Bachelor. Despite knowing that the couple wants to find a rhythm for their lives before they jump into a wedding, they’ve been clear that getting started with the plans for the wedding isn’t off the table at this point. Kelsey shared in an interview that the pair may not get married until next year or the year after, but The Bachelor stars are likely starting to plan.
