The Bachelor season 28’s couple Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have been trying to find their footing as a pair, but their new living situation could hurt their relationship, as it’s less-than-ideal. Joey, who first appeared on The Bachelorette season 20 with Charity Lawson, failed to win the lead’s heart but captured the attention of Bachelor Nation. A spontaneous, sweet, emotional guy, Joey was the ideal Bachelor lead when he was chosen to lead his own season. As Joey moved into the leading role, he got to know a great group of women, but his relationship with Kelsey was strongest.
Joey and Kelsey got engaged during a beautiful ceremony shown in The Bachelor season 28’s finale, but things were just getting started for the pair. Kelsey and Joey weren’t as familiar with the press cycle as other Bachelor Nation stars and chose to be open about their relationship from the beginning. Airing both good and bad, Joey and Kelsey were scrutinized by Bachelor Nation for what they shared online. With so much attention, rumors quickly flew about their relationship crumbling, and when Joey took on DWTS, things got worse. Now, their new L.A. living situation could be a whole new problem.
Joey & Kelsey Originally Wanted To Move To New York City
They Both Said It Was A Life-Long Dream
Although their time on The Bachelor was over a year ago, both Joey and Kelsey revealed shortly after the show’s finale that they had some big ideas about where they were going to plant their roots. While Joey, originally from Pennsylvania, had been living in Hawaii before the show, he and Kelsey had talked a lot about where they wanted to live. With Kelsey’s hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana not where they wanted to plant roots, both discussed a new city they could call home.
During early interviews after The Bachelor, Joey and Kelsey revealed they wanted to live in New York City together and planned to do so. While they didn’t necessarily have a plan yet, they’d both decided that New York was the right place for them. Sharing that they hoped to be in the city by the end of 2024, Kelsey and Joey were going to work to find a place that worked for them throughout the rest of the year, but some other plans interfered with theirs.

During Joey’s championship stint on Dancing With The Stars season 33, the couple revealed that their plans for their future had changed a bit. While Kelsey was still interested in moving to New York, the pair decided to make their move a bit more permanent and get a place in Los Angeles. Living in California seemed to suit both Joey and Kelsey, who have been getting opportunities as influencers throughout the last year. With the influencer market in Los Angeles huge, Joey and Kelsey decided it was best to stay the course and see what happens in the new city.

Joey’s Still Traveling With DWTS
Although Joey and Kelsey seem happy about their move, it’s possible it could be an issue for their relationship moving forward. While Joey may be happy with Los Angeles, Kelsey still wanted to leave New York as an option for their future. It seems likely that the pair may be in Los Angeles for the foreseeable future, which may not be what Kelsey wants. This could breed resentment. On top of the location, Joey will be traveling with the DWTS tour through 2025, which could make it even more difficult that his Bachelor fiancé is on her own at home.
