The Bachelor's Joey Graziadei admitted that one particular moment in his life over the past year put a strain on his relationship with Kelsey Anderson.
"There's a lot of stuff you can't control. There were very unique and rare things that really put a lot of strain" on them, Joey added. Since DWTS coincided with the first year of their relationship, Joey wished he could have spent more time focusing on strengthening his bond with his fiancée, which he wasn't able to do because he was so busy. "I have to be making sure that I'm there fully" for Kelsey.

Joey & Kelsey Are Thriving Despite Challenges
Neither Joey nor Kelsey are in denial about various issues they've had to work on in their relationship. As the former said on The Squeeze, they're very aware of steps that needed to be taken to ensure they remained a couple. Joey and Kelsey had the added stressors of falling in love on national TV, continuing their relationship for the world to see on social media, and then to add a talent competition show into the mix.
Their critics always find some supposed sign that Joey and Kelsey are on the verge of breaking up, even if it's not true at all. Considering all the various breakups that have happened in Bachelor Nation in recent months and years, Joey and Kelsey's relationship is considered a success by comparison. They're planning to get married in 2026 or 2027, which means they've got plenty of time to make that special day as perfect as possible. They don't want to rush their wedding and end up failing like some other couples have experienced.
