The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei Reveals Surprising Meeting That Could Advance His Career Amid Signs He'll Return To Reality TV With Kelsey Anderson

The Bachelor season 28's Joey Graziadei has expressed his interest in returning to reality TV in the future, and after revealing an exciting meeting he had, it's possible his chance to come back to the screen with fiancée Kelsey Anderson is happening sooner rather than later. Joey, who first appeared in The Bachelorette season 20 before leading his own season of the show, has been open about wanting to return to reality TV. After his successful stint during The Bachelor season 28, his relationship with Kelsey still going strong, and his time on the DWTS tour, Joey's ready for what's next.

In a recent Instagram Story, Joey shared a post from Bachelor Nation host Jesse Palmer that revealed the pair had lunch together. While Joey didn't comment on the meeting itself, the fact that he's meeting up with Jesse is interesting. "Great catching up with my guy," Joey explained in the Story, which linked to Jesse's post where the Bachelor host shared a bit more information. "Joey mentioned that lunch with me was on his 30 before 30 list, so I had to oblige," Jesse joked. It's possible the pair could be discussing some upcoming ventures for the former Bachelor star.

What Joey's Meeting With Jesse Palmer Means For His Reality TV Return

The Pair Could've Talked About Opportunities

Although Joey has been upfront about returning to reality TV, he's also been investing a lot of time in his 30 before 30 bucket list, which he's looking to accomplish in the next month before his May 24 birthday. While Jesse teased about the idea of him sitting down for a meal as part of Joey's list, it's clear that the host and former Bachelor star genuinely enjoy each other's company. Jesse, who's been part of the Bachelor franchise since his time as the lead of The Bachelor season 5, may have been able to give Joey some career advice.

As Joey and Jesse continue to keep their friendship thriving, it's very possible that Joey has been looking to Jesse for more advice about his future in reality TV. While Jesse may have been in an entirely different career before returning to reality TV to host The Bachelor, he has a similarly niche sense of knowledge about football as Joey does about tennis. Given that the pair has bonded over more than just their former Bachelor status and their love of sports, it's possible that Joey could be seeking out advice or information from Jesse about his return to TV.

Things May Be Moving Quickly For Joey

While Joey has been doing his best to handle his long-distance romance with Kelsey and move into the next chapter of his life after the Dancing With The Stars season 33 tour, he's been working hard to ensure that he has the time and energy to come back to reality TV in a meaningful appearance. Joey's ability to move through his last reality TV shows with grace and ease was clear, and after a meeting with Bachelor host Jesse, he may be feeling reinvigorated to make his comeback. The Bachelor may have only been the beginning for Joey's career.
