The Bachelorseason 28 star Joey Graziadei is a sweet guy who seems tolove his fiancée Kelsey Anderson, but he’s missing something important - the desire to marry Kelsey quickly, which is why he shouldn’t have been chosen as the show’s leading man. As Joey branches out, exploring life after the series, he’s still with Kelsey.
However, he’s done things which may actually make her life harder, even if he doesn’t want it to be that way.
OnThe Bachelorseason 28, Joey seemed like the perfect man. He fell in love with Kelsey quickly and could barely go through the motions of trying to connect with anyone else. In terms of being a romantic hero, he seemed like the ultimate Bachelor - sincere, devoted, and focused on building a meaningful connection with a woman. He didn’t appear to be the usual cookie-cutter player or clout chaser. However,this Prince Charming is like a rose with a thorn. He’s got so many beautiful qualities, but when it comes to tying the knot, he’s dragging his feet.
Joey Gets His Way
He Wanted To Live In Los Angeles
Recently,Joey and Kelsey moved to Los Angeles, and settling down in Tinseltown will make it easier for the duo to get gigs, as it’s one of America’s entertainment capitals. He appeared inDancing With The Starsseason 33, andJoey won the Mirrorball Trophyalongside his partner, Jenna Johnson. However, Kelsey wasn’t sure she wanted to live there. It seemed like Joey was the one who dreamed of residing in Hollywood, and she just went along with it, even though she wants to have children, and L.A. may not be the most child-friendly locale.
20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now
Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.
Joey has been rumored to have financial problems, so the move to Hollywood may be a way to boost his odds of earning money. Lots of film studios are based there - it’s easy to get to places where a lot of American television is filmed. It’s practical for that reason. However, romance shouldn’t always be about what’s sensible. By putting off the wedding, seemingly endlessly,the two are raising eyebrows. AreJoey’s pesky money issuesand vaulting ambition the reason why they don’t tie the knot? Maybe so.
Joey’s credit rating took a hit when he missed a bill payment. He never seemed to have much money, and in a world of keeping up with the Joneses, having very little can make people feel small. However, Joey’s not a bad person for not being rich. In fact, he may be sweeter because he doesn’t have everything. Nonetheless, he should make his fiancée a blushing bride. If he does, he’ll show the world that he’s a sincere person.
Right now, it sometimes feels like Joey’s monetizing his never-ending engagement.
Following their one-year anniversary, the pair moved into a Los Angeles apartment, no longer needing to live with roommates. That’s progress for the duo, who have had sketchier living situations in the past. They had to choose between New York and Hollywood, and maybe Kelsey would have preferred the Big Apple.
Kelsey often seems to run into bad luck with Joey. If she isn’t dealing with fan shade about his connection to a beautifulDancing With The Starspro (they’re just friends -Jenna is happily married), she’s getting called out for not wearing her engagement ring, even though she had a good reason. Some diamonds fell out, and the sparkler is in need of repair. Since she and Joey haven’t gotten married, she’s always under a microscope.
When fans said Joey was getting too close to Jenna while they were posing for photos,Kelseyreally lashed out. She recorded a TikTok, after getting a rude comment from aDWTSviewer. She argued that Jenna and Joey were just doing their jobs - they’re paid to dance together and do press together. She said that stuff after a “fan” planted a seed of doubt:
‘Kelsey, why is Jenna touching your man like that?'"
Does Joey Have Ulterior Motives For Delaying The Wedding?
He Might Be Afraid Of Losing His Fame
The truth is that Joey may be delaying a wedding for that reason. Maybe he knows that the duo will lose their mystique once that pivotal event takes place. After that, it just won’t be the same. Everyone will know where the couple is at, and the mystery will seep away. This could be why Joey’s grabbing at opportunities now, before the nuptials. He may be afraid of losing relevancy after Kelsey finally walks down the aisle.
Despite some very practical reasons why Joey may be stalling on the wedding, these two really need a ceremony and reception. Joey was “The Bachelor” - he claimed he was looking for a wife, not a fiancée. When he continually puts off a wedding that Kelsey probably wants badly, he seems inconsiderate. Quite often, women dream of their weddings, imagining the gowns, jewelry, hairstyles and makeup that they will wear. Instead of marrying her, he’s dragging it all out, and in doing so, he may even be embarrassing her.
The Bachelor’s Joey Graziadeiseems like a very sweet guy. He’s extremely likable - he’s cute, he danced well on DWTS, and he was endearing as The Bachelor season 28’s leading man. Now, there’s one piece of the puzzle that he needs to put in place. He must marry his partner. When he does, he’ll show the world that he’s one of the best The Bachelor leading men even, instead of a man who should probably never have been cast.
Aside from this major flaw, which he can possibly rectify, Joey is a wonderful man. He’s so respectful of his woman that he asked for a DWTS partner who was in a stable relationship. That’s because he didn’t want Kelsey to worry.That kind of gentlemanly spirit is exceptionally rare.
Few reality men display such courtly manners. For that reason, Joey should do damage control by marrying Kelsey quickly. Why be considered a cad when he’s anything but? By wedding his partner,The Bachelor’s Joey can show the world that he’s a true romantic - someone amazing that fans should revere.
