The Bachelor star Kelsey Anderson shared that she and her fiancé, Joey Graziadei, are now residing in L.A. full-time. Kelsey and Joey had been living with her two roommates in New Orleans after departing The Bachelor season 28. The recently engaged couple received a lot of criticism when their living situation was publicized. However, Kelsey explained that she still had a job in New Orleans at the time, but they rarely stayed with her roommates because they were always traveling non-stop after The Bachelor.
The Bachelor star Kelsey Anderson revealed that she and Joey Graziade have changed their living situation, and they are now living alone in L.A. full-time.
In an interview with E! News, Kelsey explained that she and Joey decided that moving in with her was the best choice at the time. She clarified that she still had a lease on the apartment while participating on The Bachelor and didn't want to pay for two rents after the show ended, so it made sense for Joey to move in with her and her roommates. The couple used the apartment as their closet due to frequent traveling. However, they have now officially relocated to L.A. as Kelsey supports Joey on his DWTS journey in the upcoming season.
"Household update--We actually are currently living in L.A., just Joey and I. Going on this show, I didn't expect to be engaged. There were 32 women, so the odds weren't very likely. I had a lease. I was living and working in New Orleans, so Joey just came to me. I was like, 'I don't want to pay two rents.' That's why we ended up living with them. But it was only for a short period, and now we're in L.A. and Joey's doing Dancing With The Stars. People were so upset about the fact that we were living together. I was like, 'You don't have to live with a roommate. Don't worry about it!'"
