‘Bachelor’ Couple Joey Graziadei & Kelsey Anderson Make Major Decision About Their Future

Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have officially decided to say goodbye to New Orleans. No more Sazeracs, gator bites, and beignets for them! The couple moved there after getting engaged on The Bachelor finale.

The Season 28 winner revealed that he and Kelsey have made an important decision about their future together. They’ve been spending the last few months in Los Angeles as Joey competes on Dancing with the Stars.

Instead of the couple’s early plans to move to New York City, they have decided to stay in Los Angeles. Getting accustomed to the West Coast city through Joey’s time on DWTS, the two realized that it would be the best place for them to settle.

As a guest on the Lightweights with Joe Vulpis podcast, Joey revealed, “I think I was more interested in LA than New York, and she was probably more interested in New York than LA.” The couple came to a decision recently when Kelsey realized she would still be happy in the sunny city, while Joey wouldn’t be as thrilled to be back on the East Coast.

The Pennsylvania-born reality star divulged, “I don’t know if I would have been able to find the things I love to do as much in New York. When you live in Hawaii, the closest lifestyle you can get in the U.S. might be Los Angeles or somewhere in California ’cause it’s really hard to be able to play tennis, golf, and surf and do all these activities I love anywhere else.”

Spending time in the City of Angels for the last few months, they have been living in a temporary place provided by DWTS, but have now found a place to make their own.

Joey is still in the dancing competition with pro Jenna Johnson. Wowing the judges and the audience alike, there have been some moments that have made fans wary. Many feel that he is too intimate with Jenna, who is a married woman. This has caused Kelsey to post TikToks asking people to stop worrying about their relationship because everything is fine. So much so, that on November 12, they celebrated their one-year anniversary.
