I've Changed My Mind, I Think Joey Graziadei & Kelsey Anderson Have The Best Relationship In The Bachelor Franchise

Although The Bachelor alums Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson, have attracted criticism for their public relationship, the couple has consistently proven their authenticity. Joey and Kelsey found a genuine connection in the dating competition, with Kelsey maintaining Joey’s attention throughout the season. Joey's choice was clear by the finale of The Bachelor season 28. He proposed to Kelsey and the pair have been engaged ever since.

Joey and Kelsey have exceeded expectations. While reality TV has created a reputation for disingenuous romances, the couple are sincere. Joey and Kelsey have done everything right. They have dedicated time and energy to the relationship's success, and their devotion has paid off. They have found a new home to set roots in Los Angeles. Despite the natural disasters, criticism, and incessant scrutiny, Joey and Kelsey are healthier than ever. They will outlast the franchise’s previous couples. Fans can expect their favorite pair to commit to their promises and marry in the coming years.

Joey & Kelsey Aren't Constantly Trying To Prove They're In Love

They Are Confident

Unlike many franchise alums, Joey and Kelsey don’t feel the need to constantly prove their love. The pair is too secure in their relationship to entertain the spiraling rumors regarding their long-distance relationship and Joey’s connection with his dancing partner, Jenna Johnson. They seem to understand that the more they deny allegations, the more suspicious they seem. By ignoring the rumors, they have dissuaded their spread. There is truth to the popular Shakespeare quote:

“He doth protest too much.”

Joey and Kelsey can expect a reactive response to incite more rumors. Had they responded to the criticism, the haters would have more incentive to push boundaries. Their words would have quickly been turned on them. Their silence speaks volumes. Only they know the intimate details of their relationship.

Joey and Kelsey have every right to maintain their privacy.

Even though their relationship was born in the limelight, and the couple have made careers from their stardom, Joey and Kelsey are human. Their public relationship should not invite biting commentary or assumptions. As humans, the substantial negative press has affected the relationship and their impressions of one another. This was a personal battle Joey and Kelsey had to address before moving forward in their relationship.

Joey has endured rumors from intimacy with his dancing partner to bankruptcy. Despite their portrayal of uncertainty and instability, Kelsey has always stood up for her fiancé. She often addresses the rumors in a humorous and lighthearted way. In a TikTok on Kelsey’s page, she mentions the removal of her ring and jokes about having the engagement called off the second it’s removed. She explains that she is simply trying to maintain the ring’s appearance and durability by taking it off around the house. Her ironic rebuttal proves her confidence in the relationship.

Joey & Kelsey Make An Effort In Their Relationship

They Are Dedicated

Joey and Kelsey plan to be together forever. The pair have opened up about their intentions, past, and insecurities on and off camera. They have done everything in their power to establish a healthy line of:

Communication
Transparency
Independence

Kelsey, in particular, has sacrificed her dreams for Joey and their relationship. Following the conclusion of their season, Joey moved in with Kelsey and her two roommates. The pair have been inseparable ever since. While they discussed their plans for a new home, Joey and Kelsey had differing ideals. Joey wanted to move to LA, but Kelsey preferred New York. Kelsey eventually conceded, allowing Joey to pursue a position on the popular dancing competition, Dancing With The Stars.

Joey made history as the first Bachelor alumni to win a season of DWTS.

Kelsey’s selfless act enabled Joey to pursue his dreams. Although many individuals would harbor resentment from the decision, Kelsey never held it against him. She was willing to explore Joey’s dream location and embraced the sunny beaches and bustling city. In a video posted on Kelsey’s TikTok, she poses on a sunlit beach with the caption, “How can u not love LA when you get this in December.” California has grown on the reality star.

Joey and Kelsey haven’t let their TV stint and residual fame go to waste. They have built a media empire surrounding their relationship and their careers. Their social media pages are populated with sponsorships and brand deals, making their online presence quite profitable. Outside their brand collaborations, including a personal clothing line with Vitality, Joey and Kelsey have furthered their professional success. Joey’s DWTS gig led to a nationwide tour, and Kelsey’s modeling career took off with New York Fashion Week. Their healthy relationship has allowed Joey and Kelsey to support one another financially and emotionally.

Joey & Kelsey Seem Like A Regular Couple

They Are Relatable

As previously mentioned, Joey and Kelsey may be famous, but they are still human. They can feel insecure and judged. Their online presence invites criticism but, Joey and Kelsey haven't done anything to deserve hate. They often remind fans through social media that they are an “average” couple.

In late January, Kelsey posted a video of Joey dancing to “SexyBack” by Justin Timberlake on stage. She teases his dance moves, giggling and saying, “Period, king.” The couple doesn't take themselves too seriously. In a New Year's Eve post on Kelsey’s TikTok page, she rushes to change into her pajamas just before the countdown. She gets back in just enough time to embrace her fiancé for their first kiss of the year.

Their humorous and relatable updates resonate with fans.

Their content not only connects with fans but reminds others that love can be found in unexpected environments. Consequently, many viewers are inspired by the reality star's romantic journey. If Joey and Kelsey can thrive despite these struggles, the average viewer can as well. Despite the criticism and constant pressure, Joey and Kelsey have gone the distance.
