The Bachelor season 28's Kelsey Anderson revealed the one thing that she told Joey Graziadei was a "non-negotiable" for her before they moved forward with their relationship, which was that she wants to adopt. Kelsey and Joey got engaged at the end of The Bachelor season 28 after sharing a magical relationship. Their connection was so undeniable that runner-up Daisy Kent self-eliminated before the final rose ceremony because she knew Joey would pick Kelsey. Joey only said, "I love you" to Kelsey, which made their engagement very special.
"I just feel it in my soul that I have to adopt at least one kid."
On the Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour podcast, Kelsey revealed that she told Joey that she wants to adopt children, saying that it was a "non-negotiable" for her. Kelsey shared, "I just feel it in my soul that I have to adopt at least one kid."She added that she wants "like, a million kids," while Joey wants two. Kelsey is one of five children, while Joey is one of three. Fans hope to see Kelsey's dad, Mark, on The Golden Bachelorette. Her mom, Denise, passed away due to breast cancer in 2018.
Kelsey Anderson Admits She & Joey "Dated In Reverse"
The Couple Was Forced To Talk About The Big Issues Early On
Kelsey also shared that, because of the quick timeline of The Bachelor, she and Joey had to discuss deep topics such as having children very early in their relationship. She said, "We literally dated in reverse. We talked about all the big things and then now we’re finding out all the little things, which is fun." Joey and Kelsey have been inseparable since The Bachelor season 28 ended, and they now live together in Kelsey's New Orleans home with her two roommates.
Joey and Kelsey are one of the most solid couples ever to come out of the Bachelor franchise. However, there have been some concerns about their relationship. They've opened up about their financial situation, including Joey admitting that he forgot to pay a credit card bill before he left for the show, which caused his credit score to drop about 80 points, leading to him being unable to rent an apartment. It's not ideal that he and Kelsey are sharing their space with her roommates, but it seems to be working for them for now.
It's good to know that Joey apparently agreed to Kelsey's wishes that they'll adopt at least one child in the future. She's said that she thinks she and Joey will be engaged for about two years. However, they've already chosen their first child's name: Anderson, from Kelsey's maiden name, whether the baby is a girl or a boy. Family is very important to both Kelsey and Joey, so it's easy to imagine them as parents. Hopefully, their engagement will lead to a marriage and a long and happy life together with many children.
