The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei's New Career Move Will Force Him & Kelsey Anderson Into A Long-Distance Relationship Again Amid B.reakup Rumors

The Bachelor season 28 star and Dancing With The Stars season 33 winner Joey Graziadei will be a part of the DWTS Live 2025 tour's extended run, and this will force him and Kelsey Anderson into a long-distance relationship for the third time this year. Joey and Kelsey got engaged at the end of The Bachelor season 28, and, months later, he competed on and won DWTS season 33 along with his professional dance partner, Jenna Johnson. Joey has been performing on the DWTS Live 2025 tour since January 2025, which has led to breakup rumors.

In a post on the DWTS Live 2025 tour Instagram page, an announcement was made that the tour has been extended. It included a video of some of the DWTS Live 2025 cast, including tour host and DWTS season 33 contestant Stephen Nedoroscik and professional dancers Emma Slater, Ezra Sosa, Alan Bersten, Britt Stewart, Gleb Savchenko, Brandon Armstong, Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, and Rylee Arnold eagerly awaiting the announcement, and then cheering wildly when they heard it.

The caption of the post read, "We are so excited to announce that the tour is extending until April 19th! New dates below! See you there! April 9th - Columbus, OH, April 11th - Akron, OH, April 12th - Atlantic City, NJ, April 13th - Richmond, VA, April 15th - Buffalo, NY, April 16th - White Plains, NY, April 17th - Bethlehem, PA, April 18th - Cincinnati, OH, April 19th - Rosemont, IL. Go to dwtstour.com for more information!"

A visit to the official DWTS Live 2025 website revealed that the Buffalo and Richmond dates were rescheduled after earlier cancelations. In addition, it showed that Joey and Jenna will be performing on several of the new dates from April 15-19. Joey has already completed his first run in the show, which took place from January 21-January 26.

Joey's next stint on the DWTS Live 2025 tour will include the following dates: Greensboro, NC (2/25); Spartanburg, SC (2/26); Jacksonville, FL (2/27); Hollywood, FL (2/28); Clearwater, FL (3/1); Orlando, FL (3/2); N. Charleston, SC (3/4); Huntsville, AL (3/5); Memphis, TN (3/6); Biloxi, MS (3/7 and 3/8); Sugar Land, TX (3/9); Grand Prairie, TX (3/11); Austin, TX (3/12); and San Antonio, TX (3/13). Joey then has about a month off until he has to leave Kelsey again, beginning on April 15.

We are so excited to announce that the tour is extending until April 19th! New dates below! See you there! April 9th - Columbus, OH, April 11th - Akron, OH, April 12th - Atlantic City, NJ, April 13th - Richmond, VA, April 15th - Buffalo, NY, April 16th - White Plains, NY, April 17th - Bethlehem, PA, April 18th - Cincinnati, OH, April 19th - Rosemont, IL.

What Joey Graziadei Extending His Time On The DWTS Live 2025 Tour Means For His Relationship With Kelsey Anderson

Long-Distance Is New For Joey & Kelsey

After the Bachelor season 28 finale aired, Joey and Kelsey were inseparable. He moved into her New Orleans home, and then they later moved to Los Angeles together. They attended events and traveled together, and never seemed to leave each other's sides for too long. The DWTS Live 2025 tour is the first major amount of time that they've spent apart since they got engaged on November 12, 2023, so being in a long-distance relationship is new to them.

In addition, Joey and Kelsey have put their wedding plans on hold for the time being, as she recently shared that they won't be getting married until 2026 or 2027. However, during The Bachelor season 28, Joey made it clear that he intended to have a two- to three-year engagement, and Kelsey must've been on board with that, or they wouldn't have gotten engaged. Therefore, the DWTS Live 2025 tour doesn't appear to be the reason that Kelsey and Joey aren't getting married this year, and rumors of their impending breakup seem to be false.

Kelsey Misses Joey When He's On The DWTS Live 2025 Tour

Kelsey Has Said That She Has 'FOMO'

When Joey left for the DWTS Live 2025 tour in January, Kelsey took to social media and revealed how much she missed him. In a January 2025 Instagram story, Kelsey admitted that she had FOMO (fear of missing out) because she wasn't on the DWTS Live 2025 tour with Joey. She shared a photograph in which a fan had tagged her that showed Joey and Stephen standing on stage dressed as cowboys. Kelsey wrote, "I'm having so much FOMO y'all pls tag me in all DWTS tour Joey content I need to live it through y'all."

A few days later, Kelsey went to see Joey perform on the tour, and even danced on stage (shared in a TikTok video posted by dwtsobsessed). It's possible that she'll join him again for one of his new tour dates, especially if they miss each other and want to see each other while he's away. However, during the tour extension, Joey will only be gone for a few days, so he and Kelsey should be able to get through it easily.

Our Take On Joey & Kelsey's Long-Distance Relationship

Joey & Kelsey Are Strong Enough To Survive The DWTS Live 2025 Tour

Although Kelsey went to one of Joey's DWTS Live 2025 tour performances, she isn't on tour with him, so they're spending significant time apart. This could put a strain on their relationship, but they're strong enough to survive it. As the DWTS season 33 winner, Joey is obligated to perform on the tour, but he also genuinely loves dancing, so this career move is fantastic for him.

In between Joey's DWTS Live 2025 tour stints, he's been spending all of his time with Kelsey. Their Instagram pages chronicle their lives together, and it seems that absence has made the heart grow fonder for the couple. Joey and Kelsey will most likely last forever, so a few weeks apart here and there won't have a negative effect on their relationship. Joey and Kelsey will continue to dance through life together.
