Joey Graziadei from The Bachelor season 28 and the woman Joey chose above all the others, Kelsey Anderson, tried to prove critics of their relationship wrong with a new video on social media. Joey was originally a contender during The Bachelorette season 20, where he made it to the final two, and then he was given the opportunity to become The Bachelor. At the time, Joey was excited by the prospect of finally finding love, while he also understood the gravity of deciding which women would stay and which would go home, ultimately choosing Kelsey to be his fiancé.
The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson attempt to prove they're in a happy relationship, despite the rumors.
After receiving criticism from The Bachelor universe that Joey may have made the wrong decision when he chose Kelsey, the couple is determined to prove these critics wrong. In a video that was initially on Amazon but can now be found on Joey's Instagram page, Joey and Kelsey wore cute matching outfits, laughing and smiling while feeding each other blue ice cream.
Some comments from the post found the couple endearing, such as @clairefrlnd, who said, "You two are the cutest," with a heart-eye emoji, and @ejj57, who commented, "You guys are adorable and would make the cutest kids!"
Are Joey & Kelsey Handling Relationship Criticism Well?
Joey And Kelsey Are Determined To Make Their Relationship Last
It is not uncommon in The Bachelor franchise for relationships not to work out, which has created disbelief surrounding the relationships that have stayed together, such as Joey and Kelsey's. The couple has been very open with their lives, allowing people to gain insight into their relationship to prove they were meant to be together. However, there is no amount of openness that will prevent some critics from being loud with their opinions. Rumors began spreading about the couple not long after The Bachelor season 28 finale aired, without any actual proof that anything was wrong or suspect.
One such rumor the couple had to contend with was that Kelsey gave up everything in her life to be with Joey, making him look like a bad guy. There are also rumors circulating that tennis professional Joey is having financial troubles now that Kelsey has given up her job. However, both Kelsey and Joey have declared these rumors unfounded and ridiculous, claiming that while it is true they are still getting to know each other, they have a healthy and happy relationship. The couple is adamant about supporting one another and having each other’s backs against these rumors.
While a few negative rumors about Joey and Kelsey are spreading, some exciting and positive rumors have surfaced as well. One potentially fun rumor is that Joey and Kelsey may have secretly gotten married. During their media appearances and whirlwind vacations, photos of the couple wearing possible wedding bands have been spotted. There is speculation they may have chosen a small and very private wedding, side-stepping the usual fanfare of these types of celebrity weddings. With all the negative attention surrounding their relationship lately, it may have been the best decision for both Joey and Kelsey, if true.
If the couple is not soft-launching their marriage, it would not be surprising if they eventually married privately without the media being invited. It is tough to get the support of Bachelor Nation; many relationships from the franchise have failed to survive the constant critique of everything they say and do. It is tricky to want to find the love of their life on a reality TV dating show when many people are only there for the potential fame they can receive. It is also natural for there to be doubt surrounding these relationships from viewers of The Bachelor.
The Bachelor is available to stream on Hulu.
