The Bachelor’s Kelsey Anderson & Joey Graziadei Reveal Stunning New Marriage Update After Taking Big Step In Wedding Planning Journey

The Bachelor season 28's winning couple Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson are sharing a shocking new update about their wedding planning, revealing that things may be happening behind the scenes for the couple during some pivotal career moments. Kelsey, who won Joey's heart during The Bachelor season 28, has been navigating a shift in her career since the show ended. While Joey was moving from the world of tennis instruction to reality TV with his leap to The Bachelorette season 20, Kelsey navigated a switch from project management to modeling and influencing after the show came to an end.

While the pair have enjoyed being engaged, many have been curious about what's coming next for the Bachelor lovebirds now that they've settled in their Los Angeles home and are finding time to plan their wedding. "We really don’t want to be stressed," Kelsey shared with Sports Illustrated, after sharing they're planning a 2027 wedding rather than their initial 2026 projection. "We don’t want to just throw things together...I want it to be a representation of both of us equally." Kelsey and Joey initially shared they were aiming for a 2026 wedding, but don't feel the need to rush their nuptials.

What New Wedding Timeline Means For Kelsey & Joey

They're Taking Things Slow

Joey and Kelsey have been talking about their wedding being in 2026 since their time on The Bachelor came to an end, but the change in their timeline isn't something to be worried about. Despite knowing that the pair have bumped things to a later date, it's clear that it's because they want to do something special, intimate, and carefully crafted. Joey, who's been busy with Dancing With The Stars season 33's live tour for a lot of the year, has finally had the time to spend on the wedding with Kelsey, who's been finding her niche as a creator.

With the couple finally being able to focus on their lives together outside of reality TV, it's clear that their decision wasn't made in haste. Both have shared how much they love each other in the past, and how that love has only grown since their time on The Bachelor together ended. With so much love between them, Joey and Kelsey don't appear to be in a rush to get married, but instead want to keep doing everything they can to make their wedding special. Moving forward, the couple will likely share more details as they come.

Our Take On Kelsey & Joey Delaying Wedding Until 2027

They're Choosing To Be Deliberate

Joey and Kelsey choosing to delay their wedding until 2027 isn't a sign of things coming to a halt or relationship drama, but appears to be a careful choice made by the couple so they can get the most out of their experience. Kelsey's shared in the past that it's not easy for her to plan her wedding in the wake of her mom's passing, and knowing that she's taking the time to be careful with her choices and do as much as she can with Joey is refreshing. The Bachelor couple have chosen to do things their own way.
