Joey Graziadei claimed he’s “not broke” despite admitting he moved in with fiancée Kelsey Anderson and her roommates after his credit score bombed from a missed card payment.
“Let me set the record straight. I’m not broke, I’m doing just fine,” the “Bachelor” star said in a video posted to his Instagram Story Monday.
“But I am temporarily living with Kelsey and her roommates as a choice to be able to spend as much time as possible with her as she finishes out her lease.”
Graziadei, 29, continued: “But my credit score did in fact drop by a substantial amount when I was away on the show.”
The TV personality explained his score tanked when he missed “one small payment” during the three months he spent filming Season 28 of “The Bachelor” last year.
“But since that time, I’ve been able to raise my credit score,” he added.
Speculation that Graziadei was facing financial hardship began when he shared that his credit score dropped from 730 to 650.
“I went on a TV show and I come back and my credit score bombed,” he said on Jason Tartick’s “Trading Secrets” podcast in June. “I was like, ‘I can’t even get into an apartment building. Jesus Christ.'”
When Graziadei re-entered the real world, he also agreed to support his fiancée after she resigned from her job to reorganize her life around their newfound fame.
“Joey’s my security blanket,” Anderson, 26, told Tartick at the time.
Graziadei and the former project manager are currently residing with her roommates in a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in New Orleans.
“He was just living with his sister, so I was like, ‘You can move in with me,'” Anderson explained. “I have a very big room, and my roommates were all in.”
Anderson gushed over their living conditions, referring to it as a “‘New Girl’ situation.”
Since getting together, the couple has traveled all over from Nashville to Saint Martin to Portugal.
Graziadei recently shocked fans when he debuted a summer buzzcut before heading to the Caribbean.
