Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have been living the high life since appearing on The Bachelor season 28, but their new lifestyle has come under scrutiny. Joey, a 28-year-old tennis pro, and Kelsey, a 25-year-old junior project manager, got engaged after meeting on the ABC reality show. Joey made his television debut during Charity Lawson's season of The Bachelorette. He was crushed when Charity gave her final rose to Dotun Olubeko, but Joey was given a second shot at finding love on national television.
Kelsey was one of 32 single women who appeared on The Bachelor season 28, which was a record number of women for any Bachelor Nation show. Though the competition was stiff, Kelsey walked away with Joey's heart and a giant Neil Lane diamond. Since going public with their relationship, Joey and Kelsey's lives have been a blur of celebrity events, festivals, podcast appearances, and travel excursions. With the couple's recent disclosures about their finances, their new lifestyle is drawing a lot of criticism.

In June, Joey posted a carousel of photos to Instagram from a recent trip to Nashville, Tennessee. The photos were taken at various bars, and The Bachelor 28 couple were joined by friends and fans alike. In the photos, Joey rocked his freshly shaved head while Kelsey stunned in a denim jumpsuit. The post has 81.7K likes so far, and Joey's caption reads, "Nashville always wins." Fans took to the comment section, giving their disapproval of Joey and Kelsey's lifestyle choices.
In an often repeated sentiment, one person asked, " I wanna know if you travel all the damn time how do you make your money? Do you guys work? "
Joey & Kelsey's Whirlwind Romance
A Dream Come True
Joey and Kelsey hit it off right away, and she was one of the front-runners from day one. He was also interested in 25-year-old Daisy Kent, 27-year-old Rachel Nance, and 29-year-old fan favorite, Maria Georgas. When the cast of The Bachelor season 28 traveled to Europe, Joey chose Kelsey to whisk away on a motor scooter. After that date, Kelsey solidified herself as the one to beat, and it was no surprise when she made it to the final four.
In the end, Joey narrowed his options to Kelsey and Daisy. In a shocking twist that producers had teased from the premiere of The Bachelor season 28, Daisy realized Joey wasn't going to pick her. Right before the final rose ceremony, Daisy went to Kelsey and told her that she knew Kelsey was going to win. In a dramatic Bachelor first, the women drove to the final rose ceremony together. Daisy handled the whole situation with grace, congratulating Kelsey and releasing Joey.
