I’m worried the fate of Bachelor Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson looks bleak

Bachelor season 28 Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson are happily engaged, but I worry that the odds are stacked against them as they move forward with their relationship. Joey, now 29, and Kelsey, now 26, had an undeniable connection throughout the season. From their two incredible meetings to their meaningful hometown date to their magical Fantasy Suite date, it was clear they belonged together.

The magic between Joey and Kelsey was so obvious that runner-up Daisy Kent was eliminated herself before the final rose ceremony because she knew Joey would choose Kelsey. all the time Bachelor season 28 Joey just said, “I love you” For Kelsey, that made their engagement extra special. Since the show, Joey and Kelsey have been inseparable, already living together and traveling the world. However, as much as I root for them and think they make a perfect pair, I’m worried that they might not last because of recent events.

Joey and Kelsey seem to be struggling financially

They live with two roommates

In the June 2024 episode Bachelorette alum By Jason TartickTrade secrets Joey of the podcast shared via YouTube revealed that he had not made a credit card payment during filming Bachelor season 28. He said he made a $100 online purchase but forgot to pay it off for two and a half months. Joey was shocked when his credit score dropped 80 points out of 730. Joey agreed“I can’t even get to the apartment building.” He now has four credit cards and spends as much money as possible to raise his credit score.

Kelsey also admitted that she recently quit her job, but for now she relies on Joey for financial support. He said, “Joey is my security blanket.”Kelsey and Joey also seem to be on their way to becoming influencers, as evidenced by Joey’s June 2024 Instagram post where they were promoting Amazon Prime Day. This may eventually put a strain on their relationship as they never seem to have any downtime.

In addition to their financial problems Kelsey also revealed that Joey has moved into his New Orleans home, but they are living with his two female roommates.. Although she has since quit her job, she revealed that she was still working when they made the decision, and “he only lived with his sister.” Kelsey described their living arrangement as follows “Just like a New Girl situation.”

Joey joked that he feels like he is “In a comedy sketch right now. I feel like I’m in a full New Girl situation. There’s three girls and one Joey. I’m just sitting there in the middle of the aisle.” Even though Joey and Kelsey are making the best of their situation, I’m worried that it might eventually lead to resentment if they don’t get their own space soon. Money can be a major stressor in a relationshipand I hope it doesn’t end up being Joey and Kelsey’s downfall.

However, Joey claims he doesn’t mind living with Kelsey and her roommates. He shared that it would have been “wrong” He expects Kelsey to change his whole life after him “fell all his life” to be a competitor Bachelor. Joey explained, “And I knew that no matter what happened, my life had to change and go somewhere else. I love being there.” Hopefully, Joey won’t change his mind about their living situation in the end and will continue to live with Kelsey and her roommates until they find their own place.

Joey and Kelsey haven’t spent enough time in the “real world”

They still live in the fantasy world of the show

Since then Bachelor season 28 ended, Joey and Kelsey have been inseparable. However, I am worried about the way they spend time together. They have admitted that they have not been able to live a normal everyday life since the end of the show because they have been so busy with events and traveling. Joey and Kelsey have been keeping their fans up to date with their post-show activities via Instagram. They filmed the episode Celebrity family feudsattended Stagecoach, IF movie premiere and CMA Fest, and took trips to Hawaii and Portugal together.

In an interview given in May 2024 TV Insider, Kelsey and Joey shared that they enjoyed their post –bachelor spend time together and get to know each other better. kelsey said, “It’s been great. I feel like we’ve just learned so much about each other. You learn all the big things about the show first, and now we’re learning all the little things like quirks and funny things.” Joey added, “We’ve had a lot of events that we like, but we’re also really excited that it’s going to slow down a little bit and get back to the basics now as well.”

That’s why I was surprised to see it Joey and Kelsey posted on Instagram from Saint Martin in late June on a new trip. If Joey and Kelsey never get a chance to live a daily life together, their relationship may never feel real to them. I worry that when reality finally hits, they may find they were swept up in the maelstrom of the show, and their love isn’t as real as they thought it was. Although I hope this does not happen, gone bachelor couples have proven that it is a phenomenon that is difficult to overcome.

The bachelor’s record is dismal

The odds are stacked against Joey and Kelsey

Even though Joey and Kelsey seem like a solid couple, I can’t ignore that fact only one bachelor has ever married the woman he ultimately chose: Sean Lowe. Sean married Catherine Giudic in 2014 after their engagement Bachelor season 17. In addition to Joey, two other bachelors are still dealing with their final choices: Matt James is dating Rachael Kirkconnell, while Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar are engaged. Out of 28 bachelors, the failure rate is exceptionally high.

I know it’s possible that Joey and Kelsey can beat these odds and finally get married. However, the pressures of the show have destroyed couples in the past. Also, sometimes when the fantasy of the show ends and reality steps in, bachelor couples realize they are not as compatible as they first thought they were. I really hope this doesn’t happen to Joey and Kelsey, but the odds of success seem even bleaker when you break up Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise, and The Golden Bachelor It’s unusual for couples to last beyond the show.

I really want Joey and Kelsey to go the distance and get married in the future. However, there are so many obstacles in their way that I worry it may not be possible. If they can avoid being trapped by influencers and return to their real lives, then maybe their relationship will survive. However, their lives are likely to have been permanently changed since the revelation Bachelor. Joey and Kelsey must continue to put each other first and focus on their love if they want to succeed bachelor pair. Whatever the future holds for them, I’ll support them all the way.
