Despite recent financial difficulties, The Bachelor 28's Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have been living it up and flaunting their first-class lifestyles. 28-year-old tennis professional Joey Graziadei made his television debut during Charity Lawson's season of The Bachelorette, and though he made it to the final two, he lost out to Dotun Olukembo. As they say, when one door closes, another door opens, and that's what happened to Joey, as he was immediately cast as The Bachelor.
After dating 32 impressive single women, Joey gave his final rose to 25-year-old Kelsey Anderson, and the two got engaged at the end of The Bachelor season 28. After going public with their relationship, their lives have changed completely, and they've both been enjoying the trappings of their newfound reality television fame. As they both grow their social media followings, Kelsey and Joey seem to distance themselves from their former careers, settling into new lives as prominent social media influencers.
Joey & Kelsey Changed Careers
They're Social Media Influencers Now
Fame has privileges, and Joey and Kelsey are certainly not above enjoying their new first-class lifestyles. Before his meteoric rise as a reality television personality, Joey was a tennis pro in Hawaii, but he hasn't been teaching tennis much lately. With his busy schedule of partying at the CMA festival, vacationing with fellow Bachelor Nation stars, and rubbing elbows with celebrities like Jelly Roll, Joey doesn't have time for his old job.
It's not the first time Joey has changed careers, as The Golden Bachelor alum studied communications in college, before deciding the corporate world wasn't right for him.
For her part, Kelsey had a great career as a junior project manager in Louisiana before joining the cast of The Bachelor season 28, but since getting engaged, she quit her job and is leaning on Joey financially, even though Joey is living on credit cards right now. Though she says that she plans to go back to work eventually, her influencer career will probably keep her busy for the foreseeable future.
Joey & Kelsey Fly First Class Now
Economy Is For Plebs
Now that Joey and Kelsey are big reality stars, their days of flying economy are behind them. In July 2024, The Golden Bachelor couple headed out for their Fourth of July travels by settling into their posh first-class airplane seats, and Joey posted a whole TikTok about it.
The post has 120.5K likes, 107 comments, and Joey's caption reads, “ When you get First Class seats and your whole demeanor changes ”
Joey & Kelsey's Recent Career Coup
They Just Scored A Major Sponsorship
In June, Joey posted a promotional video for Amazon Prime Day starring him and Kelsey, in which they serve up bright blue ice cream in a pop-up ice cream parlor with a sign that reads, "Big Deal Scoop Shop." The post has 20.1K likes and Joey's caption reads, "We had the best time at the Summer in the City Event in Chicago with the @amazoninfluencerprogram!" The major brand deal is in direct response to recent backlash over how Joey and Kelsey have handled their finances since filming The Bachelor.
