The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson's celebrity status has been raised dramatically by Joey's Dancing With The Stars win, and it may have inflated both their egos. Joey, a 28-year-old tennis pro from Hawaii, first made a name for himself as a contestant on The Bachelorette season 20. He ended up being one of Charity Lawson's final two men, but she ended up giving her final rose to Dotun Olubeko. Joey was devastated, but it all worked out for the best because it led to Joey meeting the love of his life.
Joey was crushed by having his heart ripped out on national television, but he wasn't down for long. He was cast as the lead of The Bachelor season 28 and introduced to 32 single women from all over the country. Among the impressive group of women was Kelsey, a 26-year-old junior project manager from New Orleans, Louisiana. Joey and Kelsey connected early on in the experience, and their relationship only deepened. In the end, Joey gave Kelsey his final rose, and the couple got engaged, but did his DWTS win change everything?
Joey's DWTS Win Changed Everything
His Star Is On The Rise
When Joey was invited to join the cast of Dancing With The Stars season 33, he decided to go for it. He and his fiancé, Kelsey, packed up their lives and moved to Los Angeles, where the dance competition films in front of a live studio audience. Since Joey was an athlete, he was expected to do well in the competition, but he managed to exceed all expectations by winning the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Along with his professional dance party, Jenna Johnson, Joey impressed everyone with his newly discovered dancing skills.
Being on Dancing With The Stars season 33 changed everything for Joey and Kelsey. With Joey dancing on a popular network TV show every week, and Kelsey cheering him on in the audience, the visibility made them both considerably more famous. While Bachelor Nation fans all knew the couple, DWTS introduced The Bachelor season 28 stars to a whole new audience of potential fans.
Joey & Kelsey Drink Up The Success
A Major Partnership
After getting engaged on The Bachelor season 28, Joey and Kelsey have been shrewdly using their reality TV show fame to catapult themselves into new careers as social media influencers. Joey currently has 979K Instagram followers and 401K TikTok followers. Kelsey isn't doing too badly either, with 822K Instagram followers and 648K followers on TikTok. With such large followings, they've racked up a long list of partnerships. The fame could inflate Joey and Kelsey's egos.
Joey and Kelsey's meteoric rise as prominent public figures has led them to multiple lucrative partnerships with major companies, including Wawa and Amazon.
Another major company Joey and Kelsey have worked with before is the premium liquor company Patron. Recently, Joey and Kelsey posted photos from a night out with Patron premium alcohol. The carousel of photos is all of Joey and Kelsey's night out at a Los Angeles bar with friends. The couple has been enjoying their new celebrity status to the fullest, especially now that they've moved to Los Angeles. The sponsored post has almost 61K likes, and Joey's caption reads, "Finally back in LA and celebrating with my friends and @patron."
What's Next For Joey & Kelsey?
There's A World Tour In Their Future
In addition to being a hit television series, Dancing With The Stars is also a live show that tours all over the country. According to the DWTS tour dates website, The Bachelor star is scheduled to make guest appearances on the live show. Some of the cities listed as tour dates include Atlantic City, Boston, Nashville, and many more. With Joey potentially traveling all over the country, it's unclear if Kelsey will join him on the road, or if she'll stay back in Los Angeles.
