‘The Bachelor’s Joey Graziadei Announces Major Career Move
Is there anything Joey Graziadei can’t do? First, he won our hearts on The Bachelorette, then he found true love on The Bachelor, and then he won Dancing With the Stars Season 33.
Now he’s trying something completely new — and he’s staying in the Dancing With the Stars world. ABC announced Graziadei’s next career move on September 12.
Girls, get excited. Bachelor Joey is hosting a podcast! The Bachelor Nation alum has been tapped to host the Dancing With the Stars Official Podcast, which will premiere on September 18. The podcast will be available on Disney+ and Hulu. Each week, Graziadei will have exclusive cast interviews, special guests, behind-the-scenes insights, and expert breakdowns of the performances.
“I couldn’t be more excited and honored to be joining the Dancing With the Stars team in this new way, bringing audiences exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content,” Graziadei said in a statement. “I have so many great memories from my time competing (and winning didn’t hurt), so I can’t think of a better way to connect with contestants and bring deeper conversations and fun moments to the podcast space.”

Graziadei’s fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, showed her love for her man’s big career change in the comments. “I AM SO HAPPY FOR MY SWEET MAN !!!!!!” Graziadei also commented, “Can’t wait for this !!!” His DWTS partner, Jenna Johnson, gushed that she was “so proud.”
Graziadei’s season of The Bachelor came to an end back in March 2024. From there, he segued pretty much immediately into Dancing With the Stars. The 30-year-old and Anderson then decided to put down roots in Los Angeles. They’re still planning their wedding and are aiming for tying the knot next year.
The couple also won’t rule out a televised wedding. “If there’s a world where someone wants that to happen, we’ll take the meeting,” Graziadei told Swooon back in April. “We will talk about it.”
