The Bachelor: Could Kelsey Anderson Be Second-Guessing Her Relationship With Joey Graziadei? (Things Could Be Falling Apart)

Although the stars of The Bachelor, Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson, share a strong connection, their circumstances may be the downfall of their relationship. Leading man Joey was interested in Kelsey right after they met, and she remained a front-runner throughout the season. Her chemistry with Joey was so tangible that runner-up, Daisy Kent, self-eliminated before the finale. Joey proposed to the reality star, and the pair have been engaged ever since.

Since the conclusion of The Bachelor season 28, Joey and Kelsey’s intentions have been questioned. Many critics believe the relationship is a contrived attempt at maintaining public image and interest. It’s worth noting that Joey and Kelsey have profited immensely from their reality stint. This constant pressure and scrutiny has created tension in the relationship. When the couple located and purchased an apartment in LA, many felt that the decision would create resentment. Joey and Kelsey have faced several major difficulties since the move, and Kelsey may regret her commitments.

Kelsey Gave Up On Her Dream Home For Joey

LA Was Not The Ideal Place

California was not the ultimate goal for both parties. While Joey felt connected to LA, Kelsey hoped to move to New York City. After some deliberation, Kelsey agreed on California. This sacrifice would enable Joey to pursue a career opportunity on Dancing With The Stars.

Joey made history as the first Bachelor alumni to win the competition.

This sacrifice speaks volumes in terms of showing Kelsey's dedication to her partner. Although she dreamed of the East Coast, she accommodated Joey’s wants. Not only did she adapt her dreams for Joey, but she also opened herself up to his perspective. Eventually, the West Coast found a place in her heart.

In a video posted to Kelsey’s TikTok, she poses on the beach. The video’s caption aptly reads, “How can u not love LA when you get this in December?” Kelsey has embraced what Joey loves about the area, but the move may have happened at the worst time.

According to WorldVision, “More than 15,000 homes, businesses, and other buildings have been damaged or destroyed [by California Wildfires].”

Unfortunately, California has endured natural catastrophes in recent months, with wildfires damaging thousands of homes. Kelsey and Joey are undoubtedly troubled and concerned about their new property. Tensions may be high for the couple. This, coupled with Kelsey’s potential resentment over making so many sacrifices, may lead to bitterness and subsequent fights.

Joey’s Career Hit A Roadblock

Kelsey put her needs second to help Joey achieve his career goals, but the former tennis instructor has hit a professional roadblock. His highly successful run with DWTS led to another opportunity: the show’s nationwide tour. As he travels with his competitors and dancing partner, Jenna Johnson, Kelsey really misses Joey.

This will be the first instance, since their introduction, that Joey and Kelsey will be engaged in a long-distance relationship.

Kelsey posted an image in her Instagram story of Joey on stage with text reading, “I’m having so much FOMO [fear of missing out] yall…” The reality star is feeling the hardships of long-distance. She and Joey have been inseparable since their engagement. Before their newest apartment, the stars shared a temporary home in California. Before this commitment, Joey had moved in with Kelsey and her other two roommates.

They aren't accustomed to being apart, and distance can lead to insecurity in a relationship.

Joey’s most recent challenge, a show cancelation, could have spooked his accommodating fiancée. The show has encountered several problems, with the opening night postponed due to water outages. Ironically, the show, set in New York, was postponed due to inclement weather. This show was supposed to debut the season's winners: Joey and Jenna. Kelsey may be worried about Joey’s success following her selfless decisions.

Joey’s close relationship with his co-star, Jenna, has attracted media attention.

The couple is confident in their love, and they're really enjoying their engagement. Kelsey understands that she's the only woman Joey loves.

Kelsey met Joey on a show where he dated 31 other women.

Kelsey’s cool and confident disposition makes their whirlwind relationship possible. The Bachelor stars remain undisturbed as rumors swirl. Their love will last despite criticism. Kelsey’s sacrifices will pay off as the stars grow emotionally and professionally. Hopefully, the pair will commit to their promises and marry in the coming years. A wedding is something to look forward to, but fans can still follow along with the duo.
