The Bachelor: Kelsey Anderson’s Jealous Move During Dancing With The Stars Explained (She Made It Clear Joey Graziadei Was Her Man)

The Bachelor season 28’s Joey Graziadei has been competing on Dancing With The Stars, and his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, has been accused of jealousy. Though Kelsey has denied speculation about her alleged envy, she recently made a move designed to let everyone know that Joey is her man. 28-year-old Joey made his television debut during Charity Lawson’s season of The Bachelorette. Though Joey made it to the final two, Charity gave her final rose to someone else, sending Joey home brokenhearted. He was devastated, but the tennis pro from Hawaii wouldn’t be down for long.

Joey was then cast as The Bachelor, greeting the 32 single women at the iconic Bachelor mansion, including 25-year-old Kelsey. Despite the show’s editors doing everything in their power to make it look like Kelsey had competition from other women, it was pretty clear from the beginning that Joey liked Kelsey best. It wasn’t much of a surprise when Joey gave Kelsey his final rose. Joey and Kelsey got engaged at the end of the final rose ceremony, and they’ve been living together ever since, but Joey’s current job has caused trouble in paradise.

Joey Made It To DWTS Finale

It’s His Third TV Show

After getting engaged on The Bachelor season 28, Joey and Kelsey immediately started living together and settled into their relationship. For a while, they moved into Kelsey’s old place in New Orleans, Louisianna, which she shared with multiple female roommates, but the couple recently moved to Los Angeles for Joey’s new job. He signed on to be on his third television show, signing up to compete in Dancing With The Stars season 33. Joey and his professional dance partner, Jenna Johnson, made it to the finals to compete for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Being on Dancing With The Stars has changed Joey and Kelsey’s lives. They moved to Los Angeles so Joey could be on the show. Since the show pays a salary for participation, it made sense for them to move for work, but now the couple has decided to stay in Los Angeles for the foreseeable future. Joey recently told the Lightweights with Joe Vulpis podcast on YouTube that they’d decided to stay in Los Angeles.

After leaving
The Bachelor,
Joey and Kelsey’s living situation was up in the air.

Joey and Kelsey almost moved to New York, but their plans had to change. Kelsey always wanted to live in New York City, where she could pursue her modeling career. Hailing from Hawaii, Joey wanted to live in a place similar to his home state. In the end, Joey got his way, and Kelsey’s dream of living in the Big Apple will be put on the back burner for now.

Joey’s DWTS Stint Has Created Problems

Kelsey Was Accused Of Jealousy

Joey had one strange demand before agreeing to appear on Dancing With The Stars, which, in retrospect, could have signaled what was to come. In an interview with The Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous Podcast, Joey said he told producers he wanted a partner who was “in a successful and healthy relationship.” He was paired with Jenna Johnson, who was married to Val Chmerkovskiy for the last 10 years. In a clip posted to YouTube by Dancing With The Stars, Joey and Jenna danced their way into the finals and won.

Joey’s odd request suggested he was concerned about Kelsey being jealous.

While Joey danced on Dancing With The Stars, some have speculated that Kelsey has had to struggle with jealousy. The rumors got so loud that she eventually had to address them. Kelsey posted an Instagram in which she explained how she really felt about Joey dancing so passionately with another woman. In the clip, The Bachelor season 28 star explains that she’s secure in her relationship, and is fine with watching Joey dancing passionately with another woman. Kelsey does sound very confident in the clip, but she could be overcompensating to cover her true feelings.

Kelsey Basically Marked Joey As Her Man

An Illustrative Moment

Kelsey insisted she wasn’t jealous, but The Bachelor season 28 star’s behavior can sometimes suggest otherwise. Kelsey recently posted a clip on Instagram, taken during a break on Dancing With The Stars. The dance competition series films in front of a live audience, and Kelsey has been there cheering for Joey the whole time.

During a day of filming, someone captured a brief but illustrative private moment between Joey and Kelsey.

During a break in the competition, Kelsey gestured for Joey to come over to where she was seated in the front row. When he came over to her, she grabbed him and pulled him down for a kiss. It very much felt like Kelsey was marking her territory. The fact that Kelsey posted the clip suggests she wants as many people as possible to see the moment. Her 793K Instagram followers are a good start, as the post has 195.8K likes. However, Kelsey doesn’t have to worry about Joey anymore as he won DWTS season 33.

Will Joey & Kelsey Ever Get Married?

Still No Wedding Date

Though Joey and Kelsey seem happy, they have yet to set a wedding date, which could be a bad sign. Even though it’s been over a year since they got engaged on The Bachelor season 28, they don’t seem to be in any hurry to walk down the aisle. When pressured by fans recently, Joey and Kelsey said they intended to set a date in the next two years. Since they haven’t known each other long, it’s understandable that Joey and Kelsey aren’t in any hurry to get married, but a long engagement could also be a sign of trouble in paradise.
