The finale of The Bachelor Season 28 might have aired on March 25, 2024, but lead Joey Graziadei and winner Kelsey Anderson got engaged on November 12, 2023. The two have been going strong ever since Joey got down on one knee to propose to the New Orleans beauty in Tulum.

And now, Joey is ready to celebrate. The Bachelor Nation golden retriever-like favorite praises Kelsey practically every day, but on their anniversary, he decided to pen a heartfelt message to his love.

“I still cannot believe that it has been a year since I got down on one knee and asked you to marry me,” Joey began his Instagram message to Kelsey. “This is another appreciation post for everything you do. The laughs, the love, the support, the joy and the excitement. Every day with you is an adventure and I cannot wait to see all of the memories we get to create in the years to come.”

He continued, “I know sitting and anxiously watching me dance on live TV probably wasn’t how you thought we’d spend our first anniversary, but I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your support. I couldn’t do this without you, so thank you for always being my biggest fan through this amazing experience. I love you forever.”

Kelsey was quick to respond, “I love you so much. A year ago I wouldn’t expect to be cheering you on for our anniversary but I wouldn’t change a thing today. keep crushing it baby.”

Joey is currently competing on Dancing With the Stars and paired up with Jenna Johnson. Kelsey has been supporting Joey every step of the way in the audience, and the former tennis coach has emerged as one of the show’s most talented frontrunners.

Kelsey also shared a sweet anniversary note on her Instagram page. “One year of laughter, learning and lots of love. Can’t wait to do it again with you! Happy anniversary to the man of my dreams. A man who is patient, kind, and always gives 1000% in everything he does. I’m so grateful for your love, your support, and the way you make every day brighter. I love you Joey,” she wrote.
