Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson got engaged on the Season 28 Bachelor finale in March 2024. They talked on the show about wanting a long engagement. However, fans have been pressuring them to make it official. In a surprising update, Kelsey revealed that they’ve settled on a wedding date. Keep reading for the latest.
Bachelor Couple On Jeopardy!
To many Bachelor Nation fans, Joey Graziadei was a breath of fresh air when he was announced as The Bachelor. He had been a fan favorite on Charity Lawson’s season of The Bachelorette. Fans cried with Joey when Charity sent him home at the end of the season. She got engaged to Dotun Olubeko.
The last few Bachelor leads before Joey were a disappointment to many fans of the reality dating show. Matt James was the franchise’s first Black Bachelor lead but his season was overshadowed by a racism scandal involving his eventual winner, Rachael Kirkconnell. They broke up earlier this year after four years together.
Clayton Echard and Zach Shallcross came under fire during their respective Bachelor seasons for sleeping with women during the Fantasy Suites that they weren’t planning to pick at the end.
According to Joey, he was so sure Kelsey Anderson was the one that the producers had to cut footage of the two lovebirds to keep the season in suspense.
The popularity of Season 28 of The Bachelor didn’t go unnoticed outside the franchise. The season was a clue on an episode of the quiz show Jeopardy! earlier this week.
“Entertainment Weekly ranked the 2024 season of this, when Kelsey beat out Daisy for Joey’s final rose, as the best yet,” the clue read.
Joey Graziadei Marks Huge Goal Off Bucket List
Joey Graziadei has just a few weeks to complete his bucket list. He made a list of 30 things he wanted to accomplish before he turned 30. He’s done pretty well knocking things off the list. His latest goal was a big one – to visit Tokyo, Japan.
(Coincidentally, that’s where Matt James broke up with Rachael Kirkconnell.)
Joey Graziadei revealed on Instagram that, along with Kelsey, he was finally making the trip overseas. He shared a few photos on Instagram Story of the flight over and initial arrival. He will likely document the entire trip on social media once he’s back home.
The DWTS champ turns 30 on May 24, so time is tight to get the entire bucket list completed.
Kelsey Anderson Reveals Wedding Date
One thing not on his bucket list is getting married. Fans of the couple are eager to see them tie the knot, preferably in a TV wedding. However, Joey and Kelsey are intentionally taking the next step in their relationship slowly.
They only recently hired a wedding planner. But the plans are already coming together very quickly. Kelsey Anderson previously revealed where they want to get married. In a new interview with Sports Illustrated, she shared the latest update on when the wedding will happen.
She revealed that they initially planned to get married next year. However, they quickly realized that it was too soon to have a proper wedding of their dreams.
“We really don’t want to be stressed. We don’t want to just throw things together,” Kelsey said about why they pushed the wedding back.
Instead of 2026, they are now looking at spring 2027 for their wedding.
